Hy Teecee, great to hear you had a good time with the scooter girls and guys and even more important your bike started first time! that could have been embarassing.......got me wondering  if they are still on there way home from Scarborough last weekend?   Peter                                                                                                                                                                             

Hey Lou, I'll keep her occupied while you do the spray job,   she will be wanting pink fluffy dice on it next...  sheeeesh!                                                                                                                                                                               

Pete, they should have made Pickering by now.                                                                                                                                                                              

Hey karey good idea about Pink fluffy dice lol
Never thought of that

                                                                                                                                                                             

xkl would that be with a following wind?                                                                                                                                                                             

Sweet...noooooooooooooooo   lol   Lol @ Peter and XK, behave! I know of a lass that came over from France and was on her way up to Scotland on a Vespa or Lamby, not sure which.  She had a some luggage on the back and a bag on the footplate, gawd knows how long it took her, but my friends were talking to her at the services up near the Scottish Border. Good for her.                                                                                                                                                                               

Any self-respecting wind would def follow at a respectful distance, to avoid that oily pong!                                                                                                                                                                             

ahh Karey.......when you said she left luggage on footplate i assume she put it on the train.........just to save a day or two Pxx                                                                                                                                                                             

mate o mine in the 60's went to the south o france with his girlfriend on the back, on a Honda 90!!                                                                                                                                                                              

Is he back yet?                                                                                                                                                                             

Give em a break, scooter riders are people too ya know, even carry spare wheel on the back, could have done with that a few times, lol. Admitted, castol R would make em much nicer to ride behind, why I love goin to scramble races, Ahhh, lovely smell.

What gets my goat is the 50cc bikes taking there baffles out, can hear there doin full stick from 3 miles away, poss even touchin on the 28mph, lol. That constant tone in the air, reminds me of when I used to put a peice of cardboard in the spokes of my pushbike with a clothes pegg, .
                                                                                                                                                                             

xkl love that last comment........tears in my eyes, Newkid re the cardboared in spokes they still  do don't they, and yes I agree that is what gets the scooter boys a bad name, no baffles or even no silencer at all on machines barely over 50cc screamin' its nuts off do barely 30MPH what a racket....nearly as bad as those guys in small saloons with there RAP music flat out with full base aghhhhh now that drives me mad......   Peter                                                                                                                                                                             

Is there a Grumpy Old Man thread?                                                                                                                                                                              

your right teecee he got a few grumps out then!   can you still get castro R,                                                                                                                                                                             

OK, so new thread "Grumpy old men" or "What gets my goat".                                                                                                                                                                              

After our previous chat on oil I decided to put half a cupful of Castrol R in my fuel tank, it makes no difference to performance but OH THAT SMELL!!......you can still get the oil now called Castrol R SAE40 from any racing outlet price is around £8-10 per litre........a lot cheaper than Channel No 5

Maybe suggest it as a new scent for Lynx or someone...   .. with a warning that you may get followed around and sniffed by other men!                                                                                                                                                                             

so thats where im going wrong
