Where's that? Some sort of Pies Direct factory shop?

Straight out of the back of WC's van I would imagine. Still frozen
probably, which is why it is still there to be photographed.

Care to enlighten us?

 

Some cider place in East Sussex or West Kent, or summut.

 

How had you imagined me?

I was happy with tofu, but they MADE me go and buy 'real food'

 

I only wear leather trousers in the summer/autumn, in the spring/winter
they let in too much water when compared to cordura/goretex and they're
also no where near as warm.

Leather jackets don't really have any place in the sort of riding
(commuting) I do either. A Cordura/Goretex jacket is much more
comfortable and usable than leathers IME.

However if I was still riding sprots bikes I'd not wear cordura.

No, I said you *mostly* get what you pay for.

Look, are you telling me,/really/, that say a pair of FT boots (the
plastic ones that are made to look like leather) are really worth over a
hundred quid? Are you telling me that waterproof jacket with armour in
it is really *worth*[1] over two hundred quid.

[1] OK, worth as in "it keeps you dry and warm" yes, but how much does
it cost to make, eh? and don't even get me started on spares!

I dunno, come round here and get 'em out.

It's the end of the car park at Middle Farm near Lewes. That's the place
that sells pies (and other things) to die for and cider[1] by the pint
or gallon.

[1] Farmhouse. Made the traditional way[2]
[2] Arghhhhh!

 

What you need is a nice little Honda NSR125.

Oh, quite coincidentally I appear to have one for sale too.

I guess BGN didn't do the factory tour before tucking into that pie, then?

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Halla amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

So if we ever meet, I shouldn't wear my "Nice legs, what time do they
open?" T-Shirt?

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, wessie amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

IIRC, he did do some cider sampling but then became lost and turned up
some twenty minutes later scoffing a pie.

 

Halla says...

It works on most other ukrm gurlies.

 

I imagined you looked older than you do, a bit broader and for some
reason I had not contemplated the shortish hair. Can't put it any
clearer than that really. You portray yourself as some sort of lumbering
bloke crossed with a hyperactive ballerina but you don't look like that
in the picture ;-)

Yes you really look as if you needed to be persuaded to ram that pie in
your gob!

 

I was just having a fag.

Bloody hell. Can't take you anywhere!
