Whats the deal with new tyres, they are a magnet for screws. Old tyres no problem. New tyre 20 miles on it lets have some 
I'm convinced you could roll a bike over a screw backwards and forwards a hundreds times and it wouldn't hook up unless it smelt newness .
2 days before our holiday last week the Mrs picked this up commuting to work, on a 500 mile old MichelinI'm convinced you could roll a bike over a screw backwards and forwards a hundreds times and it wouldn't hook up unless it smelt newness .
A key. A sodding car key.
This was the 2nd puncture on that tyre, had a screw at 100 miles.
ker sitting across the bar giving me a smile???

Probably the most profound post to date on this thread. To be honest 26 years with the same bike is special but its made profound by the actual bike. Years go buy and people sell for funds or just for a change but to actually have a bike ( and a special bike) for that long is beyond my comprehension .
Fair play

He couldn't get the £10,000 on finance at the time so got a home improvement loan, the Honda was often referred to as his fitted kitchen.
A less impressive bit of VFR ownership than the last one(lovely bike). But they’re all good!
Coming up to 2 years with mine and just ticked over 9000 miles with it, a third of its total tally. Zero commuting, all for pleasure.
Still amazed by how good it is ( much better than me) but the chicken strips are just about disappearing, thanks to doing 2.9 laps of owler bar every time I go up there

Took the hurricane up to a VMCC run round Royal Deeside - and it stayed dry 
. Passed the gates of Balmoral and I guess HRH must have been in residence as cops with guns about. But seemed happy enough with the exclusively black number plates 
And the 'coloured' group, away from the regular 'black' of most of the older bikes. Very nice Triton - some don't look great, but this was oh-so-right. Much fun to be had behind it over the old military road/Balmoral-Lecht way.
...and that new-fangled Triumph Rocket 3 that snuck into the back of the pic was nothing to do with us - in the old-bikes world, Rocket 3s are exclusively BSAs.

Went racing on the weekend. Borrowed the bike while mines in for repair but the 440cc did me proud despite not being setup
Had it pushed hard in places and cracking race results in the twin shock
It's funny how with Mx you are completely opposite leaning away from the bike Vs Tarmac where at speed you lean in

Their crayons are ill-suited to traffic tickets.. Passed the gates of Balmoral and I guess HRH must have been in residence as cops with guns about. But seemed happy enough with the exclusively black number plates
