Platypus, I hate you

Tomorrow - Sunday - I am going to view a 1999 Ural combo.

God help me. Help. Somebody talk me out of it.

 

What, and spoil all the fun? Go for it

Wotcha.

Can I be the first to say "Told you so" ?

Russian outfits - great fun for little money.

I'm afraid you are quite on your own TOG. All I could do is tell you
how much fun it looks! Which model are you looking at?

 

The Older Gentleman was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

Look at the bright side, even if you get it you'll never get it to run
long enough to drive it into the neighbour's car.

 

DO IT, NOW!

 

The Red Ural, whatever that is. Apparently the tank has been replaced
with a Harley fat Boy item, the wheels have the uprated hubs wiv better
brakes (hah!) and the engine is the one with the stronger crank.
20,000km on the clock.

And it's been resprayed black. Not bothered, 'cos if I get it I'll
respray it in camouflage.

Oh, and if you are slow toggling the dipswitch between main beam and dip
"smoke comes out of it".

More than that, I know not.

 

He wants someone to talk him out of it, not big it up.

 

The Older Gentleman was seen penning the following ode to ... whatever:

When starting to brake in Moscow, it'll stop in Berlin and not in
Paris like the standard version.

Hurkhurk. Given your dislike of 'leccy bits, shall I warm up the
multimeter.

 

I like that )

Good idea, Edison.

Google groups for "...or a potted history of the first 48 hours of
sidecar ownership..." ought to do it

Oddly, this used to be in my sig: "Riding a sidecar is a bit like adding
a teaspoonful of sherbet to your love-making. Initially it feels
strange, unnatural and rather perverse, but as you get used to it, it
becomes rather enjoyable and more than a little addictive."

 

I've owned an outfit before. I know what to expect. Never owned a
Urinal, though.

 

Make sure you talk to the Doctor first.

 

So she knows what to aim for next time.

 

I did.

She said: "Why?"

'Fun.'

"But it's daft."

'Since when did buying an outfit have anything to do with rationality?'

"Oh, all right."

 

Pip emerged from their own little world to say

Heh. One written off Nissan coming up.

Old French blokes will mutter "Bosch" and spit at you.

 

And others will say: "Champion!"

most will flick the Vs and remind you of Platy numb bollocks

 

Dyslexic drunks will piss in it.
