My God! What’s this? a politician actually taking responsibility and being held to account for his ‘deeds’ Whatever next;)

Thanks for those kind words Bob. I never saw it coming, I went to bed with no feelings of being ill at all. It happened in the early hours, with no warning signs whatsoever, no history of this kind of thing in the family either, and they can never be sure that it wont happen again.

That Mustang flight sounds great, I really hope it happens for you. If any members here harbour thoughts of special, one off thing they’d like to do or own, and if you can afford it, do it or buy it. As I was once told by an American friend of mine: ‘Remember, its life’s curve balls that’ll get ya’ Isn’t that the truth.;)

Well, I’ve just turned 54, and 2 years ago suffered a stroke, and if anything brings into focus the fact that life is short, its an event such as that. I lost a lot of my vision, but compared to some, I consider that I got off lightly.

Anyhow, back to topic. Although I shall never be able to ride it, I am contemplating finding, and restoring a 1977 Yamaha RD125 motorcycle. I rode bikes well into my 20s, and did not learn to drive until I was 24 yrs old. But I’ve always had a soft spot for the RD125, over the RD250, and RD400 that I owned. The 125 era was a very good time for me, lotsa happy times associated with it

Maybe it IS a symptom of the so called ‘male menopause’ looking back and re living our youth, I don’t know, but strangely enough, this idea only occurred to me very recently, but I feel I really want to do this. Of course tracking down a 1977 RD125, that’s not a total pile of trash, looks as though it’s going to be the hard bit.

EELightning……go for that guitar!;)

Ooo, don’t go there;)

A little embarrassing! AI must be hoping it gets sorted PDQ!

Great pics. I really like the Yakutia colours.

You could be right, at that.

I think that I’m right in thinking, that Israel has ignored all UN resolutions passed in ref to their actions over many years. They also refuse to deal with the government of Palastine, which they do not recognise.

So it should not be a surprise, that Argentina will also not talk to a government that it does not recognise.
