FOAK: Renault down - DWDCA?

That's ok but a bit big and echoey and the sound gets drowned out by
other vehicles.

Try going down a mews somewhere and riding close to the right hand wall.

 

Better still, do it at just over idle. You won't regret it.

The best place I ever heard my bike apart from the "wochamecallit
passage" and wherever is the railway arch that goes to the goods in for
the BBC TV centre. If you're ever in Shepherds Bush, do it. It's in
Macfarlane road next to the car repair shop.

I shall be bang on the limit Mr Dodger Sir, or maybe even a tad below.
In third Sir. Have no fear, the bastards won't get me there.

There is acres of arches that I don't think they have pulled down yet in
Bethnal Green. I'll have to go and have an explore one night.

 

The KH500 bouncing off the redline along the arches outside Banjax was
a sound for sore ears, iyswim.

Yeah, any of them. You can't beat the sound of a menacing grumble though
imo

That's the stuff. The country boys don't know what they are missing do
they eh?

 

Salad Dodger wrote

Slower today than it was on Sunday, that is a fact.

"Limit" not "limiter". We are talking speed limits here and how to get
the best out of your Can under road legal conditions.

 

Whinging Courier says...

Humm, not sure if the words "menacing grumble" and KH500 really go
together unless the words "mains" and "fucked" are included.

 

Nick's much too nice to do a "menacing grumble" when he's awake.
When's he's asleep is another matter, mind.

 

Heh, I do remember seeing his lonely tent at the other side of the car
park at EOSM and then before that watching him get ready for a night in
the garage at Pixiefest.

I loved the race micron on my B6. Rorty as a rorty thing.

Unfortunately had to sell it with the bike, as the original got a bit
(ahem) scuffed.

On the bright side, my ZX12-R exhaust has turned up. Tiny it is. I
shall ask the neighbours to don earplugs when I try it out

Cheers

Paul.

Who me?

 

No, the other one (YTC, tho this was before he was so christened). A
reference to the infamous photo from the 99 Bol D'Or, where one of
Bruce's bollocks was making a bid for freedom from some particularly
baggy shorts.

 

OIC. I'd managed to erase that image from memory. Thanks for the
reminder. Not.
