Bike Noises

If this is a ginge, then take me to Burger King flame grill me and show the
repeats on UKTV.
(See. I'm learning the jargon!)

This kind stuff makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end, so Its
worth posting again and again and again
But then I'm a bit weird like that.

Ho yuss! You could save them and use them as ringtones/text alerts.

It was like being transported back to Chimay.

Did you arrive in one piece

Hang on, I'm far too sober

<Toddles off to fridge.... *ONE BOTTLE*!!??>

Gah!

 

No sounds of mechanical demise there. You know like a Ducati 900
becoming a 450 single.

 

Any of the Honda 4s or 6s : Especially when Hailwood was giving them what
for.
1958 - Bob McIntyre - Manx Norton (God's Teeth, did they really sound like
/THAT/?)
1967 - Velocette Thruxton

I've got a couple of Vinile El-Pees of the 1961/1962 TT races. I've been
meaning to copy them onto CD (Its Ok - I know how to do it)
Its the last of Graham Walkers commentary and the first year his lad,
Murray, took over

The racket made by (IIRC) two 350-4 Hondas and a 350-4 MV going down
Glencrutchery Road and Bray Hill,
together (ie: neck and neck) and "absolutely flat out" (as Murray puts it -
3 twists in the handle bar to you an me) will leave wet stains in the front
of your jeans..........

Anybody want a copy? I'll burn them and post them for nowt - just remember
it when you meet me in a pub ok?

Dave

 

Yeah. I really miss the Trans-At series. There's nowt like that anymore is
there?
Those non-championship meetings:
Oliver's Mount in August, The "September International" [1] at Cadwell, the
Race Of The Year [2] at Mallory.

[1] 1975 : Ron Haslam on a beaten up and shagged out TZ750 stuffing it to
Phil Read on the works MV. Pekka Nurmi on a (really) dayglo pink TZ350 going
over the top of The Mountain with the bike vertical. Priceless!!

[2] 2005 : Nearly went this year. The I checked what the program was.... WTF
is Moto 1? Bag o'shite!

Too professional these days. Back then it was just racing for racings sake
wannit?

Dave

 

Oi! *I* wasn't good enough to make it into Moto1. I'll have you know!

3 places higher in Ultimate Biker, though....... And I'd have failed the
fitness test anyway.

Coming from a phone sounder (I hesitate to use the word loudspeaker)
most of them would sound like farts. Exceptions being the racing two
strokes, which have an uncanny resemblance to ripping underwear.

I was hoping to find a Triumph Triple there - Slippery Sam sounded like
something was trying to shag the Loch Ness Monster.
