Paging Eddie

I should have remembered, I saw it at the Rock and Blues

 

Go on, buy her a track day voucher as a Christmas present - she'd love
it, and she'd be *way* faster than a lot of the boys with their track
bikes and tyre warmers.

 

:-D

Actually, I don't think I had any "moments", so I obviously wasn't going
fast enough; the only time something happened that made me back off for
a bit was when my toe and footpeg touched down unexpectedly, even though
I had the ball of my foot on the peg and thought I was hanging off like
a deranged orang-utan, with my knee stuck so far out I thought I was
going to strain something.

 

I was going to get her one for her birthday in July, but couldn't sort the
right dates.

Possibly sort before we sell the GSX

This GSX. Good runner, is it? Sort of thing a sprightly young wuffian
might consider riding to the Dark Continong?

Just asking, like.

Ah, I thought he was referring to the 250.

Oh. That's (quite frankly) pretty fucking inconsiderate, getting my
hopes up like that.

Don't you agree?

So, why has Bruce got it in his sig., then?

<picks up stick and throws it for the dog>

The eagle-eyed amongst you may have noticed that there are two different
GSXs in YTC#1's sig. The one which he is thinking of selling is not the
one that would be eligible for the Afrika Korps trip.

So you're both right, in a way.

 

Nah, but I may be getting it on the road again

 

Bzzzzzzzt.
The XS250 is Gibbo's, mine is the GSX250[1]... as per sig !

[1] Currently in Gibbo's shed though

 

Yer, but Champ's had wrong bike completely

So, Nige, what's the story with needing a GSX250 ?

Well, any moderately sensible 250 really. It's for Shite Old Bikes To
Morocco.

I may have an TS 250/1 as a suitable loaner.

Ooh! What's the tank range? I don't want to be the one always stopping
first.

I suppose I'd better put the engine back together.

 

It will never make it....

 

Wanna bet ? I'm making 3 bikes out of 5 and I have more spares than the
poor thing can carry.

HTH

Paul.
