    Sauron

    That is a damn good question Sauron , the UN were quick enough to start prosecution against the likes of Milosevic ( spelling is wrong) yet people like Idi Amin and Pol Pot lived out their lives without so much of a sniff of a jail cell ???.
    Why did the Saudi’s let Amin stay in their country ?? , does anybody know ??

    I’m sure Daz , Scott and I can get together and get ours passed on sharpish , I pass nearby Scotts hometown most Sundays , and I think I’m correct in saying Daz lives in Edinburgh . So maybe a week or two for us Scots ???

    Then I remember that the guy in my avatar is actually an actor who couldn’t even fly the Colt and I feel better about life.

    Anyone at Elvington on Sunday?

    Moggy

    Awww Moggy I thought that was yourself in your Avatar 😀 😀

    ( who is it then ?? )

    A few were also painted red all over and used to tow fire fighting equipment ( slowly ) 😀 , they are’nt too good at towing stuff over concrete , any real load on tow and the tracks just grind away at the concrete , however on grass they will pull a surprising load.

    No good listening to it ticking over , she has a dry clutch and sounds like a bag of spanners in a tumble dryer , on the move though all you can hear is that lovely induction roar from the airfilterless carbs which are fitted to her at present.:) 🙂

    Whoaaa , my neighbour has an old Maico – shades of Graham Noyce – it is mint , he had an embolism after a road crash and now its on display in his garage – I’ve tried to buy it but he won’t sell . I have a KX250 as well and Jamie also has a YZ65 . I like the XBR’s – very cafe racer type styling -nice . I stopped using roadbike , sick of crummy drivers running me over , YZF750R +SP , ZZR600 , CBR1000 – all totalled , all I have now is an old Ducati 888 SP2 – and I have no intentions of using it ever again !!!!!!

    No probs .
