The Gubbins Returns

Discussion in 'UK Motorcycles' started by Sir Chewbury Gubbins, Oct 24, 2004.

  1. Evenin all....

    So, here I am, after a three or so year stint in cages after a
    particularly nasty incident with the bindat, and I'm hankering for two
    wheels again.

    Some form of SOB is required - what's good (and cheap) these days?

    Must be. Still, Eddie and you have moved since he last appeared, and
    he doesn't know where I live, so fingers crossed ...

  5. Not too bad mate (he says, pointedly ignoring that git Irvine ;-)). Had
    an interesting few years - big bike spill, house burned down, lost me
    job, got house fixed, got new job, etc etc :) It's been eventful ;-)

    He's just turning into (more of) a grumpy old man.
    Got a new, bigger, more-space-for-bikes house.
    Yeah, done that a few times too.
    Just a bit.

    Oh, yeah: got married. But you'd already done that, hadn't you?

    Anyway, nice to know you're still alive. How's the family?

  13. <counts on fingers> Three. Fortunately, due to an interesting turn of
    events involving scalpels, sutures and rainbow coloured nads, there aint
    going to be any more ;-)[0]

    [0] That was probably just *too* much information, but what the hell ;-)

  15. I would, if you convinced me that anything in there could actually make
    it to the end of the driveway ;-) How's the ducati going? ;-)

    Just a tad. At least I'm past the "walking like John Wayne" stage.
    I developed a nasty habit of making my employers go bankrupt, but I seem
    to have cured myself of that now.
    Ummm... which car? The big silver thing that drank petrol? That had to
    go when I got made redundant shortly after buying said big house. :(
    Excellent.
