Nodding code?

Not saying I don't want kids. Just not now.

And marriage is just a formal commitment to each other and I'm pretty
traditional.

 

I think it is because I had a red mini that people with no colour
sense used to claim was orange - I feel a kind of kinship...

 

David Thomas says...

I nod to the particularly pretty young lady in one of the villages I
pass through on my way to work every morning. She's usually standing
there at the roadside in bike leather jeans waiting for the school bus
to arrive for her daughter. She's got one of those Chinese copy 125s on
the drive with L plates on it. Having followed her down the lanes a
couple of times in my van, I think she's quite a tidy rider.

She used to just turn her head and look at the scruffy little 250 going
past, until I went to work on the Thunderace one week, and now I get a
big smile and a very distinct nod as I pass by at 30. Chicks love big
bikes, wonder if she's into scars?

 

Whinging Courier says...

Whatever it is, it's fucking gay looking

 

I'd rather not, ta.

 

Probably the glamour and romance of the thing. Whether you think you
are or not, you're seen to be part of the whole 'biker' thing and a
girl isn't looking at you , she's looking at James Dean or Marlon
Brando.

hoo-ha!

 

There's no issue with reading self help books. The two real issues are
whether you agree with what they say and if you actually make the
changes they recommend.

If you are able to learn from your mistakes and keep making yourself
better then you're doing pretty well relative to the rest of humanity.

 

Anal *and* cocaine? Cracking bird you've got there, son. I'd think
about giving up bikes for those on a daily basis.

 

I think Euro*star* is a great idea. As you know all too well I have had
some horrendous journeys but the new line in Kent has made things much
more reliable. I can't wait for the next bit through to Kings Cross -
even more convenient.

I also dislike the way in which Eurostar is marketed and run as if it is
an aeroplane - it isn't a fucking plane and the stations are not bloody
airports. A high quality, well run train service has enough good points
not to need to dress itself up as a flying sardine tin.

Even if you travel First Class (as I always do) you can't use these
lounges. This is worse than any airline I know where you get decent
treatment if you go Business never mind First.

They've almost finished redoing Gare Du Nord to make much more room.
There is an executive lounge - it's beyond the second overbridge which
you cross over to get down to the platforms.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

Otoh, perhaps he was just an arrogant old bastard.

Hmm - I very nearly got caught on Saturday in exactly the same place I
got done for speeding about three years ago. Camden Road just past
Holloway Road. I was doing a fair old lick, crossed the junction on
green and was just about to carry on at a fair old speed when I
thankfully looked off into the distance - 3 cops with radar guns at
nearly 5PM on a Saturday.

I slowed right down to 28mph and bimbled past looking as angelic as
possible. They did not look amused.

Most not all. IIRC JP said the Essex Top Cops got bollocked because they
had to keep some bike cops for diplomatic protection and security escort
purposes.

 

you wouldn't notice anyway. When you used to do the same route as me
I've parked up beside you, waved and said good morning and you didn't
bloody work out who it was. This was in your TRX owning phase when the
noise of the bike gave your identity away long before you could see who
was riding it.

If you want a laugh - try chasing darsy through London rush hour
traffic.

 

[recognising darsy]

You forgot the words "talking loudly" and "saying something clever" in
your description.

Platy is usually louder than you though.

 

I see a plod almost every day at the same time on my way home along the
A1 by Team Valley, he usually nods. There's also an AA patrol man I see
there too, he also usually nods - both of them are in the opposite
carriageway.

 

Or maybe I'm simply not making enough mistakes.

 

I noticed you a few times around Tottenham Hale/Seven Sisters.

I was much quicker on the R30 than on the TRX - fairly fucking quick
on the R65, when it goes.

 

Not any girl young enough that I'd want to pick up.

Aah, fair play to you, you're a good bloke and deserve happiness as much as
any other Ogri-fixated, denim-wearing 70s throwback
