it was so cold I offered to buy him a cup of coffee, his reply was, i'll have an extra large vanilla latte......
talk about expensive tastes......
it was that cold that I had to buy it for him, he'd have ferk all if he'd asked for some biscuits with it......

He'd have been just as happy swigging the diesel, mate.

Well, it was yesterday but anyway:
A large sign written over the wall of a pub in Ealing, saying:
"Eat, drink and be merry, for tomorrow we diet".

Just road to work for the first time this year and wow what a bike .
I'm in love all over again the engine work has really livened it up and wished I did it years ago

I remember it tasted like grape juice laced with alcohol. The "MD" stands for Mogen David, and is affectionately called "Mad Dog 20/20" I am sure the UK has their equivalent brands of, elbow preferred, rot-gut hooch.

Er nowt for now I still have Nue Red & Smokin Joe remember...

Looking for something in old posts found this...

Now remember at the time I was still in plaster & had recently bought Drooper, which was of course yellow when first purchased...

The thread was ''What's in the box'' http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... it=Drooper

Martys guess ...

I think I've been misquoted, as I believe I was talking about the early shade of yellow......

not the beautifully bright later yellow....
you really must find a lady friend or significant other to pass the time mac, as trawling thru old posts isn't good for you my good fellow.....
oh and the mighty blue bike ended up with 111bhp, I was purposefully holding the power back as not to upset you lesser mortals with under powered vtr's

getting the speedo working. Thanks guys you know who you are. What great guys on a great forum.

Pah & Hahahahahahahahaaha Yeah right...not misquoted at all you typed it !

If the blue one is so good...?

Just remember Marty outright power is ok but when you take in the load & then work out the BHP per ton fig's...
