Ahh you gotta forgive the yoof's Jim, few have riden bikes with the brake on the left & gears on the right, from back in the day when bikes had proper compression, manual ignition advance & kick starts bud

That said I do appreciate the ease of use & reliability of modern machines, that said if there's an offer of a go on your S8 .........
I'm hardly a yoof Bern :lol: and I don't want forgiveness. Chortle! Like others have said ,, things probably weren't as good as some think they were.

Morning Liam, trust all is well in your part of the world bud thumb.gif I still have the 'Honda Happy' albeit on an Innova (Alan's got the SilverWing) it's bloody brilliant :D except for needing a more comfortable saddle which is very much along the lines of old British 'iron' = Bloody Sore Arse :roll: :lol:

Almost on topic ;)

Hope you took your mobile phone :twisted:

I did, apart from it's primary functions if Mrs M is curious about my whereabouts she can find my location using an app. Another reason to take it is that now that I have the tracker installed on the Forza I can log on and have a colour satellite photo of it's exact location wherever I've parked it, and where I am in relation to it. There's advantages to being a twat with mobile phone. :|
And some of that statement is so accurate

Hi Bern. Good thanks. Yes, I heard Alan had a big scoot again. He's having a top box and givi plate off me, that was his originally. I'll give him the little brackets you gave me a few years ago, If I can find them. I can't remember what the Silverwing rack is like but we should be able to fix it on somehow. I've been using my daelim 125 for short journeys. Good fun, B Bone Grin! but like yours , it can be a pain. Especially over speed bumps n pot holes. My mk2Tmax is still the main mode of transport as my car has been recquisitioned by my son. Rachel sends her regards.
Smilie :D to keep Uncle Julian happy!
