RE: Be Happy!!!!!!!!!

I agree Rabie , Harleys are stone age , Goldwings look ridiculous and handle like a barge , what you learn offroad stands you in good stead for stupidity on the road , ie if your spinning a KX250 out of corners now you won’t panic when your road bike starts spinning the back wheel in corners – get yourself a wee NC30 or a RVF400 great wee bikes , nippy as hell and handle like scalpels , cheap to repair when you bin them too.

Last Night !!

Yo Matt ,
Did you watch the game last night , I work in Bothwell and most of my workmates live in Viewpark , very much a Celtic stronghold , good game .Just a shame they can’t play as well against the mighty Motherwell in the League ( although we did do yourselves a favour by humping Rangers on Boxing Day) – any predictions for the score in the away leg ??

RE: Any ambitions left??????????

I would like to build a Yamaha V-Max with a Garrett AiResearch Turbo and keep the stock brakes and suspension , just to get the heart pumping .

Looks mega , I’ve spotted a boat down at South Queensferry (25 min away) and it has twin Yamaha V6 3000cc 2-strokes , when they guy hits the firewall the thing just digs in and takes off , makes a superb noise , they were doing Queensferry to Burntisland in minutes . My dad’s friend has a big cruiser thing with 2 Volvo Penta motors in it , neat kit if you have the cash .
I’ve been on one of the RNLI RIB’s down the Ayrshire coast (another BAD story , but that’s for later ) , twin Fletchers , we were just in sight of Stranraer when we got picked up and they towed our boat back to Ballintrae ( while giving the 3 of us dogs abuse ) , cut the line and let Frasers boat wash onto the beach before trying to scare us to death in the RIB .I’ve done MANY stupid things in my time but I’ve NEVER set foot in a boat since then.

Bloody hell , one of the guys from our local mo/bike shop (Howard Cross Motorcycles ) has an almost identical Harley but his ape hangers are even taller – I hate the things , bits keep dropping off them !!! , after a smash about 4 years ago they let me out of hospital 4 days early to get ready for my wedding , crutches and kilt and all that ##### , day before my wedding I took Howards 1200cc out , the front wheel spindle lost its castle nut , ths spindle slid out half way , the wheel jammed between the fork legs and spat me off – couldn’t walk / dance or move at my own wedding.
Neat wee Honda though , me and my eldest son (Jamie ) have a Yam TY175 and a TY80 .
Like the ‘Blades too , bit more predictable than an SRAD or R1 , less prone to tankslapping . I’ve never seen an R1 which is more than a year old and has never been on it’s side ( or flipped ). Anyway , roadbikes are a no-go in my household now , wife doesn’t like PC Plod chapping the door with the bad news.
Tell me more about the size of engines on these boats you use , they look handy !!
