My old chap's car decided to expire today, so being a dutiful sort of son I rashly gave him the keys to my Golf so he and my aged Ma can visit friends in Suffolk over the Xmas break. SWMBO was less than impressed, as the old chap's driving is a little erratic these days (scared the shit out of me driving us back from Wycombe today) but what the hell. (Akkshirley I CGAF if he prangs it, as long as he and aged ma are okay). As I have to work tomorrow, and am technically on call all over Xmas the only other form of transport I have access to (other than SWMBO's Megane[1], M'boy's TS50[2] or daughter's pony[3]) is the trusty Honda. Should be fun, it has recently been either pissing down or frozen here in Oxon. At least it should mean I can park in town tomorrow PM when I do my Xmas shopping though. [1] Don't even go there, "her" garage is full of semi stripped TS50 at the moment, and she is less than impressed by this recent display of "sonfullness", hence the Megane is off limits. [2] See [1] [3] Hmm, that plan has a certain novelty value to it I s'pose. -- Oldbloke 2000 Honda CB500, 1991 Suzuki TS50 (m'boy's) BOTAFOT #140 "He's like Robbo's chubby kid brother"
"Oldbloke" said SNIP everything completely as my reply has little to do with TWO #'s Oldbloke, that wasnt you i saw going into halfords this evening in Bedford was it. The whole old bloke / CB500 [1] / talking of trips to halfords from your other thread just fell into place. [1] Black CB500 with flyscreen and topbox noticed outside and old bloke walking in as i walked out.

Get into the Christmas spirit and take the pony. Just make sure you strap some antlers on it first. Blair. '97 CBR600
Sorry Paul, I have never been to Halfords in Bedford, and my CB is Red, not Black, and no topbox. However, as a sad Honda Owner, beers must be done at some stage. -- Oldbloke 2000 Honda CB500, 1991 Suzuki TS50 (m'boy's) BOTAFOT #140 "He's like Robbo's chubby kid brother"
Hmm, piebald pony tethered in the High Street, plus yours truly in black leathers, with full face helmet and red (slightly gay, but a good deal at the time) boots. D'ya think I'd make the News at Ten? -- Oldbloke 2000 Honda CB500, 1991 Suzuki TS50 (m'boy's) BOTAFOT #140 "He's like Robbo's chubby kid brother"
Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Oldbloke I should think you'd make Crimewatch.
Good point -- Oldbloke 2000 Honda CB500, 1991 Suzuki TS50 (m'boy's) BOTAFOT #140 "He's like Robbo's chubby kid brother"
