Just be yourself - it will be far more comfortable within that skin , 'cos I don't really think it's that thick , if you're in this for the duration .....?
Haha - only messing with you - take care

Well we're in agreement that you're a cock, we will leave it there. Doubt or think whatever you want, I really don't care.

Hmmm. So that's me in a pink chair, wearing a turtles t-shirt, picking my wrist and staring at the floor like a retard. Well at least you captured the moment.

That Naylor boy was a nice bloke. He was a sparky wasn't he? He's not on here is he?

Royalties...? Me , to you ..!! Ha !! You owe me and you know you do ....
Anyway, here you go Andy ! Sorry , Al. sent me some emails of the stuff his mate photographed but they were all single shot and after opening about twenty ....I fell asleep and never remembered to go back to them ...text me your email address and I'll dig all yours out - ps to anybody else there that day he only sent me my stuff and yours , didn't ask for anything else ...

[anonymous-user]

Thanks fella .

[hebegb]

Digging photos out for Soofsayer , tripped over an Anglesey shot from early this year too, an Alex James shot - he is certainly one of the best photo boys out there and I like his " arty farty" effects....
This pic makes me absolutely ache for dry, sunny, warm riding conditions - role on Jerez just two long months to go ...just got a bike to rip apart from "road" to "track" ....probably for the last time as I've bought an FZ1 for the road now for next year

Yesterday was an early start.

Hired one of these Harley things for the day to take out of Dubai, and into the Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) in the North of UAE, and across into Oman into a place called Musandam. The drive was looking more Yankee than normal!



Got to stop for a bit of breakfast before the day begins properly (after a 90 minute freezing cold motorway ride).



At the top of Jebel Jais in RAK







Stopped in Musandam on the way to Khasab













The obligatory goat in the road







Then the day got a bit messy, as someone T-boned my bike. Third time I had been hit by a car in my biking experience, and the first time they have managed to actually knock me off the bike. Fortunately aside from a couple of small grazes, and bruises I am fine. The way it works over here, the police have to attend all accidents, and they decide at the road who is at fault, and the insurance company have to stick to the police report. I walked away with a "No Fault" document.

The Dragging jeans stood up very well!

I was coming from the road on the left, which is the main road.



The car was coming from the other side of the road and doing a U-Turn. Unfortunately straight into my front wheel, knocking the bike away from under me and forcing me down the road.



The bike stood up to it brilliantly and was able to be ridden home.







Yes - it was a Nissan that hit me!





A little video of the day can be found here:-

And yes I did have the radio on for the 80's and 90's weekend, and you can hear a bit of Edwin Collins in the background.
