    Triumph 🙂
    Would be riding over from Northants so if you’re heading further west may not hang around for long.

    Left handed for a start…. which it seems excludes 99% of the market!
    Vintage V100 LP, tobacco sunburst, in really great condition apart from the damaged corner on the headstock and small chips just below it where some silly b*gg*r knocked it between two chairs 🙁
    Looking for a Strat which is a step up from my Yam 112…..

    Octavia estate in VRs form, Mondeo for kitchen sink capacity. Estates are a giggle (but then I’m old).

    Can I just point out that contrary to margarine walker’s understanding I was being sarcastic when I said Hans no way Rey was cr*p in the video!!!

    Maybe it’s a case of needing to be around at the time to fully appreciate what HR, Jason McR, etc etc mean to old gits like me….

    Shimano’s Pro brand overshoes are toasty.

    Saw some footage a few years ago of him riding mountain trails – very fast, very smooth, using his moves to ride the trails rather than for show.

    Sorry, belatedly realised you couldn’t be on Anglesey to see the sun dropping behind it! Duh. Could do with being by the sea now…..

    Five skips. Pfft.

    We used to go to Anglesey, stayed a beach just down from Church Bay. Beautiful, peaceful, so restful. You anywhere round there?

    Flying Ox – which company?!?

    I’ve just asked about changing a 1.0 polo which my newly qualified sons drive for a 1.4. Almost double the price to insure!!! Stupid thing is the 1.0 is so gutless it’s a positive danger……..

    Sorry, but I have to draw a line somewhere so no, I won’t stop listening to Maurice and co.
    chiefgroove guru – so are you saying I need bigger cones in a bigger cabinet? Any recommendations, bearing in mind I’m on a budget?

    Strato – cool Kwacker. Are they as mad as their rep says?? Rode a 250 once, couldn’t get near a 500 or 750 when I was first on bikes….

    Really nice Guzzi…. can I have a go?!?

    You mean no noticeable power band? I see that as a +, but taking it towards the red line gets things growling more and accelerating harder…. Each to their own ;). I just love bikes!

    😯 A triple trumpet soul less??? Stick a decent can on and wind it it up and see how soul less they are!!!

    Mind you, big Aprilias sound fanbloodytastic. Might even prefer them to the sound of a Duke…. Heresy I know.

    I love my 04 Daytona. I’ve put one of those comfort bar conversions on it which makes slower riding a lot easier! I don’t think it feels heavy, nice and stable but will change direction without too much effort.
    Have a look at the marketplace on triumphtorque.com, some nice bikes sold through there – and you get some good feedback on what’s wrong with them!

    Have a look at their site http://www.alabama3.co.uk, there’s a few tracks in the audio section from the acoustic album released earlier in the year – including Love will tear us apart which is excellent!. Upcoming Shoplifting 4 jesus album sounds interesting……

    This[/url] site is good, some useful advice around.

    I went for a 955 last year 🙂

    Tagged webber early on, then tangled with schu, then has a go at button. His mind seems to be all over the place!

    andybach – you don’t sound like somebody who’s only in it for the cushty lifestyle (often a myth anyway IME!). Seems you enjoy getting out and seeing the places you live in rather than seeking out other ex pats in faux Irish bars, so I would go for it. If you don’t you could find yourself feeling bored with the UK anyway…..

    You’ll know best whether to continue with shorter assignments or go for something long(er) term.

    I’ve found it’s easy to pick up again with real friends, and family are family regardless of where you are. Good luck and enjoy yourself whatever you choose.

    bigbloke – I’ve got an 08 Rift Zone frame like snaps in medium if you get rid of the other!

    I wouldn’t bother querying the size, that damage to the rear of the seat tube which wasn’t mentioned by the seller is a clincher – deffo not cable rub. Tell the seller you want a full refund or you’ll raise a dispute.

    Take a deep breath, it’s only an attack of Freditis. I’m off to find some more positive vibes 😉

    Your diatribes seek to justify the violence, ergo you think it’s ok.

    oldgrump08

    Seems to be an acceptance here that it’s ok to go around punching people. Wrong, just as it’s wrong to drive carelessly. If the ‘cyclist’ hadn’t punched the guy he wouldn’t be dead.

    Elfin – that’s a bit rich coming from you.
    Back to the main topic – United were totally outclassed everywhere, congratulations Barcelona on winning in style.

    What’s that game Barcelona play???
    Would be great to see two Barcelonas playing each other. Shame United couldn’t string enough passes together to push Barca back.
    Elfin – you’re a d*ckhead of the first order, your team deserves you.

    A case of ‘read the manual’perhaps??? Should make it clear though that there’s plenty of leaf growth, just no sign of flower buds….
