In the cold light of day...

I stopped drinking early afternoon yesterday after just over a week of
near constant drinking. After a little kipette I had the mother of all
hangovers and I'm only just now starting to feel better.

I'm bloody glad Christmas is over, really.

 

You're turning into Nigel.

It's probably Steph...

Do I really look like somebody who can't get the top off a spark plug...

 

Possibly. Might get a trailer-tent as well - you noticed the tow-bar, of
course?

 

Just think: she won't be able to tell you apart.

You look like someone who can't get his bike to do more than 70 miles to a
tankful.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "platypus"

Bloody 'ell, looks like a beast. You might want to check that front
tube, looks like the valve is at an angle.
That front tyre looks just like the one I have.

It is. One of the little things I need to attend to. I checked the tyre
pressures this afternoon - front and chair were both around 10psi low, rear
was 20psi high.

3.75x19 with /no/ maker's name or anything, just the size and some tiny
Russian lettering. Bike's done to many miles for it to be original, but...

 

Oh dear, oh dear.

CIHAGM? I just want to remind myself why I sold my outfit

 

*Nice*

 

Ask TOG for the pictures he took of an ex-German army one. Then you can
spend happy hours repainting it and adding the gun mount.

Looks like fun and at least you have space for wine on the way home from
France next time.

Oh yes. That actually looks quite desirable. It'll still break down,
mind.

What are the brakes like?

 

Bwaaahahahahahahaha!

 

Gyp says...

Why did you sell it? Looking at your collection of vehicles, it's not
like that drastic move made any difference to your low GTQ[1][2] now, is
it?

[1] Good Taste Quotient.
[2] Except when it comes to your choice in wives, of course.

 

2 reasons really -

1. as it had to sit at the front of the garage and I had to shift it
before I could get to the real bikes [1], I didn't end up using the real
bikes [1].

2. it terrified me.

True

Heh. Now it starts.

 

Wotcha.

I hope you have as much fun with yours as I had with mine - for
'strange' values of fun of course.

You can't. I'll email them if you want.
