Finally a thread I can contribute summit sensible,
I too seem to be slightly elderly for the LC's and was the proud owner a a RD 200 biggest bike I ever owned, scared me witless, siezed many times mainly due to lack of two stroke oil it used to drink it like Peter bc drinks wine,finally to avoid a head on in Dundry lane I flew thru a hedge on her and ended sat upright in a ploughed field, replaced her with a XL185s which never missed a beat. sadly women and motor cars took over a few months later.x

All too modern for me. I had the earlier RD250 in silver. For about 2 months, then stepped up to a CB750F and promptly crashed that... The joy of youth.
TS50 Suzuki, C50, SS50 Honda's, DT250MX , DR400 4T, CB200 Honda, Yamaha XS 250, Honda CX500 and 650, Yamaha XS750 shaft, GS750, GS850G shaft, GS1000, Kawasaki ZXR750R (the one I broke my spine on, during a crash) Yamaha XTZ750, KTM 400 x 2, KTM950, Honda XL600LMF, XR600, X 2 Honda XR650, Triumph tiger 955i and lets not forget.............DR800BIG.
I may have left some out. And the only new bike was the TS50ER !
SS50 hardy har har.. I was followin a mate of mine who was on one when a daschund ran out in front of him the feckin thing was so long he couldn't go to the right or left of it so hit it a midrift and flew over handlebars. one of the funniest things I've ever witnessed..x
Fsie, CZ 175, Suzy TS 125, Honda SL 125, Yam TY 50 p, Suzy TS 50 ER and 3 FS1e rest projects (sold the last Kenny Roberts speed block last of pedal FS1 from 1977 for £65 - ouch) then a beloved Gilera 50, DT 175, XS 650 then no bikes for years until Honda Transalp, KTM 400 and 640, Yam XS 650 and me Dad's TDM.
Never crashed a bike on the road......crashed into a shed and loads of other stuff on the lanes, never broke a bone with bikes but gave myself a hernia shagging my statuesque bird in a jacuzzi when I was 18 and another aged 47 probably playing tennis or lifting a bike! I hate getting older.
Simeon, these things are sent to try, possibly tie but ultimately traumatise ... you....best you don't be aware of all the stuff you missed out on. You're head would explode but youd be up; and 0.87% of all wan king related deaths are caused by head loss which bears a sinister statistical co-relation with 1st time pre-med users. Oh sorry, I meant to say.... Fek off. Mate. Ya Cnut. X
Peter bc, I fully understand your reluctance to elaborate on your trip to gay world.. I on the other hand managed to get tugged off by a middle aged school teacher [female] in a public jacuzzi.
Two elderly swimmers climbed in as I was gettin out, I clocked em in changing rooms later, both had man porridge clinging to thier hairy legs.
Yeah I agree, it was ticking along quite sensibly till that bloody Peter bc mentioned jacuzzi's. He also called me a knob jockey and a spunk bubble in a PM, surely he should be repremanded in some way?..x
Never had one but yearned for one of the red and white 350LCs.
I went from a Suzuki X1 50cc slug to a brand spanking ER125 (£625 from APS Motorcycles in Stokes Croft).
Got hit off that whilst filtering at a bit too high a speed. Austin A1300 got let out of a side turning in traffic as I was overtaking. A lesson well learnt and I now pay the junctions more notice when in "courier mode".
Anyways - took the bike in somewhere up Clifton way for them to straighten the forks. "Can I get a loan bike?" said I. "Yep, we have something here for you to commute on whilst we're doing yours". On the way up I'm thinking of various beasts I could be let loose on. Imagine my joy when they wheeled out a Honda Express 50cc shopping trolley. I looked super cool going round Wills' roundabout on the way home dressed head to toe in leather on a bike that wouldn't top 25mph.
Sold that and got a DT125LC, then sort of sensible and a RS250 followed. Now, I know what you're thinking - the Aprilia RS250 2-stroke screamer isn't thought of as a sensible option normally. But this was the early 80's and the Aprilia hadn't been invented. No...it was the dull Honda CB250RS that I had. Sold that and got a succession of cars as girls took over as my main source of entertainment and didn't get another until the late 90's when I bought a Yamaha FZR400R - sort of a modern day RD350LC. Regularly had that on the limiter at 130mph
Then a CBR600, ZX6R, GSXR750 which I highsided and was left with fractured pelvis, tibia, fibula and ankle, then 2 Fazer1000's and a KTM950Adventure.
If we're gonna compare scars, the one on my hip goes halfway down my leg. If that's the sort of keyhole surgery Pete's having, it'll be done by a prison warder with a big bunch
Aha !! back on topic I see, never had a decent sucker for an actual girlfriend but did manage to pull a portly bint who told me she was renowned for her blowers, so promptly jumped in the back seat of her renault 5 where she went at it like a train, sadly tho I'd taken onboard too much Hofmiester and barfed on the back of her swede.. she was fully not amused..x
Good news and bad news, good news starting to be able to get about now which is good even though has taken much longer than I was led to believe. Bad news it seems all the associated swelling has gone down and the only conclusion I can reasonably arrive at is that I am indeed a fat basterd......should have had some liposuction whilst I was under the knife!
Actually anyone I don't like should be fuel to fire of keeping sensibly warm, if a cold front arrives get out into your community and burn fat and overly thin people and anyone who pisses you off to keep the chill off your toes. Warning: Momma always said beards are grown for effect only and have little heating value ... That sure pissed the Muslims off.
Watching Xfactor sadodmasochism at its worse. I am spared the torture this weekend as the bint is on holiday away in Ibiza again. With any luck she won't come back.

Five foot nine, long legs, blond all over and deep beautiful blue eyes. She was slim, long legged with 36c bust and a great ass. Worth a hernia at 18. That was 30 years ago. What I want to do now, other than attempt to relive my youth, utterly escapes me. Can someone recommend a worthwhile charity project that may be as fulfilling or memorable?
I have noticed my farts smell worse n worse although my diet has not substantially changed. Am I alone in noticing some age related degoustant farting phenomenon?
I'm going to be nice to the Salvation Army. That's Christianity in it's purest form for me. I wish I had faith. I have hope. What is the trimuverate.? Oh no im rambling like a drunken soul with nothing better to do. Better do something else.
I reckon you de tune them Lambretta's n Vespa scooters n you can shimmy up on sheep looking like one. . Not that I would want to I'm nae a shEep botherer ponce. Good thing.
Aye well given all lanes in Hoots are unavailable to motorised vehicles but otherwise there is no actual law of trespass. - I was talking with the HM weekend afore last about hybrid electric powered mountain bikes that you can pedal or use silent motor which sounds perfect, you can go anywhere you like and just pedal if you come across folk walking or riding?
Anyone know anyone who has one ( and will admit it? )
Aye. Bring on independence. 298 munroes is a lot of trial riding. As for being prosecuted the procurator fiscal just says " see you - non Jimmy - you're nicked" and your bike is impounded.
