Hi.
Alright, you have my attention, now where's the pics of the special Moriwaki one?
Check the thread on this summer's meetup, we'll probably have a few rideouts now the weather's sprung at last.
Get organising, Bazza!

Welcome Big Fella....
If you spot a 6'10" geezer on a Storm, don't bother posting in "Was it You?"....
Cos that's Yeti

She is out and about today, have used it for two days on the trot, but will be going away for the weekend now, as the weather is going to be pants.
I think I will do an oil change, keeps me away from finishing the kitchen.

Moriwaki Madness is a recognised condition which can only be treated by endless searching of japanese auction websites, which will result in the loss of copious amounts of one's wealth, irritation to the spouse, and endless hours spent in isolation(garage/workshop). Only a small percentage of sufferers are eventually cured by the delivery of a special prescription which seems to only be available in massive boxes from overseas.
However, this is a condition that still bubbles under the surface and needs to be kept in check by regular visual and aural exposure to the correct medication.

Hi There
.. I am touching 6' and feel small stood next to my 26 yr old son who is 6'5 so I bet pals feel similar but in a nice way..
I'm sure you will have loads of great roads round your way, there are some cracking roads down your way. I'm sure you will make many new friends here as the guys are great and have fun along the way. Did you have any bother with getting your bike gear? or did you have to have them made?Made to measure all the way...
Stay safe :-)
