Hi all, i thought i'd start a new thread for general chat about whatever they want in case people would like to use this instead of the rumours thread?
I always do it as i feel like starting a new thread for every Question i have or comment i want to voice would annoy people, but i know it annoys people using the other threads which i apologise for.
So we can use this when we comment on a thread then can move it to this thread when it goes off topic.

That's only a rumour.

Here goes. I'll start

Mrs Goldblatt currently has Strictly. The Results on

Watching IACGMOTH...I've only heard of Ian Wright...oh there's that dummy of the Street too.

Who we voting for..less than 2 weeks to go...

Any other bikers on this forum? What are your rides and did you go to the show at the NEC?

Had bikes for 45 years, currently have a Triumph Street Triple RS, loads of others before it. Didn't go NEC.

THE HOOF

Nice. Are you tempted by the new Street Triple RS? I've got a 650 VStrom, Kwak H2SXSE and a KTM790 currently.
I went to the NEC but it was fairly meh. The new Ducati street fighter looks nice though.

Any more bikers on here?

Not enough changes for me to upgrade to the 2020 version, the only thing I'd like is a blipper, mine just has a quickshifter. Bit more torque and slightly different bodywork, not enough to tempt me I'm afraid.

THE HOOF

Aprilia rs 125 2T

One of my sons has one of them, a 2 stroke. off the road more than its on it, had new piston, crank rebuild etc. Nice when its going though, years back I had the RS250 Prilla, that was nice.

THE HOOF

Had a Honda CB125 twin. Not super dream. Was a 4 stroke not particularly quick from the off compared to Kwacks and Suks but it had some torque and kept going.
It was handy as I learnt some nice puddle ox and acet welding lines from it. As soon as I passed my driving test...I got shut...

Near fecking killed me.

I had a 650 Ajs in the late 60s early 70s followed by a Bonny. then found it was warmer by car.
I tried the same again in the mid 80s with a 250 Honda for work then ,when winter came , realised why i'd got shut of my previous bikes.

Not tempted by a new Triumph Speed Twin with heated jacket and grips?

Prefer comfort these days !

Hey W71

The HS Kwak, is that the full on mental machine or a toned down version? I remember my bro had the original H2 750 TRIPLE a few years back, it had been restored and was a total minter with spanny boxes and alloy wheels on it, originals with it as well. He regrets selling looking at what they fetch now.

I had some bikes I regret selling as well, Honda SP1, Aprilia RS250 to name a couple, let em go for peanuts. I also had a KTM 625SMC Motard a while back, bought it new from Robinsons in Rochdale. That surprised quite a few sportsbikes back then, it was so nimble, stopped on a sixpence, and up to about 80ish was pretty quick.

THE HOOF

Not the Tories that's for sure.

I've got an old Trek 400 mountain bike. Pretty poor performance but that is probably down to the overwight engine that sits on it

It's the Sports Tourer Super charged one. H2 SX SE. Still I've had it mapped and unrestricted, titanium exhaust, no cat and its 215bhp at the rear tyre. Lively enough for me but not as mental as the H2!

I sold my SP2 for 15K in the summer. The prices are rocketing. Great bikes the HRC Honda 1000cc Twin.

What do you have against a Russian sponsored party that's full of charlatans and liars and that wants to take away your rights and make you poorer?

I voted leave....so I'm voting with the colour of my team. Blue.

I sold my ZZR 1200 a few months ago..... when it gets to around march 2020, i will be looking to pickup a Yamaha MT10

I will have to get it past the wife first though.

Any classic car nuts or jazz aficionados on here? The only two topics I can pontificate on with any kind of authority...

Classic cars - yes
Jazz - somewhat

What was it about being lied to and becoming poorer that first attracted you to brexit?
