Re: Just say No

Nowt wrong with a drink or two as long as it’s to enjoy the drink, imho.

If I do drink more than usual these days, which only ever happens at Xmas or the occasional party, I pay for it big time now, not so much with headaches but with aches and pain in my joints especially my knees.

The wife says at one time you would not mess with a prison officer as they were as hard as nails, quite often ex-forces.

Now they employ anyone as long as they work for a low wage.

Re: 1050 Speed Triple RS

Good write up. That 1050 engine was/is a gem.

I do think mine was still one of the best looking bikes i had. Not beautiful but very purposeful and full of attitude.

How heavy is the current 1050?

Re: Milan Bike Show - 9th -11th November 2018

Have a look at Hotel Minerva in Milan. It's near the canal area, good for bars and restaurants and also close to the Metro station.

Approx 200 euros for two nights for a twin room.
