Modern Vespa

i will be at the pilot on saturday.

i'm in plymouth right now tho. just taken a 3 hour cruise up some lovely river to a really really lovely town. and back. stunning.

somebody explain to me why i live in london.

Can't help there.

Off to Wales in the morning, brekker at the Ace at 07:00. Bloody hell that's early. But it'll be a lovely 250 mile ride there, 200 miles on the best tarmac in the UK on Saturday, 250 miles back via a different route, and I'm Tail Gunner, so good for me. Defo a GP800 ride though.

Booked alarm call with BT - NOT via the operator, that costs 7 quid!
*55*[time in 24hr format, four digits]# does the job for 20p.

haha! glad to see this thread is still doing it lol feel so out of place, neglected MV for so long

Welcome back!

Sitting in the beautiful Lincolnshire sunshine with a cup of tea and a kit kat. Just about go load the muintainbikes onto the roof of the car ready for a drive to Sheffield and a day in the peak district tomorrow

After a very stressful week shouting, I am having a day where my template for existence is the Dude from the Big Lebowski. I am abiding on the sofa.

Excepting the Creedence Clearwater Revival, that's going too far.

I'm off to the NFT later to see Zazie dans le métro:

'Hilarious comedy of a pert little girl taken around Paris by cross-dressing uncle.'

Christ and I thought I was weird.

Thought that would bring you out of the woodwork, mate

I'm riding "my new scooter" home tonight.

Can't make Pilot tomorrow. Off to meet up with the in-laws in Cambridge, which is generally more unusual than an episode of League of Gentlemen. So raise a glass for me, please, while you're all having fun. Love hurts, you know.

My absolute, deepest, heartfelt sympathies. I've seen that beast myself, and mercy....she's an ugly bugger.

I heart Zazie! And her uncle's a likable sort as well. 8)

I can't talk Alice . One of my favourite films is Luc Bessons Angel - A.

sitting on the sofa injured.....................

finished work at 2pm ready for 9 days off, showered shaved done the jobs "in town" (collected a bag full of spectacles from vision express, reading distance, sunnies, uncle tom cobbly and all ) went over the field to play footie with my 6 year old boy and all the local "yoofs" picked sides, kicked off, 3 strides into my first full on intercept and "bang" muscle packs up in top of my left thigh...........

oh my god, the PAIN

That's what happens when we get to our age.

Need a massage Maver ? Sorry but someone was going to ask.

Also sorry I havn't commited on the Bikers Lodge 2010 thing yet but the Hornet falling over thing kind of got in the way for a while.

Bill X

great film

Mrs Mav is sorting me out m8 8) i can imagine, must be soul destroying

commit soon though............

Ouch maver!

I nearly gave myself a hernia playing on the monkey bars with my 7 yr old daughter a couple of months ago. That's why I wouldn't attempt to climb the pole at the bikers loft. I have to remind myself that my 42 yr old body is not what it used to be!

Is that some disgusting euphemism? If not, tell us more!

...if it is, tell us even more!

Zazie rocked, by the way. Quite a lot of Vespa content on the streets of Paris too.

Glad you enjoyed the movie Alice. You really must sell it to me later.

Erm I've just put the matt black painted lowers that I'm going to give to Genie back on the Hornet and they look amazing.

Dammit why didn't I think of that and not buy new ones ?

I'm looking forward to seeing you all later.

oh no. am i going to have to fight you for them? handbags at dawn?

that's what happens when you do sport!

I'll see you lot tonight.
I'm waiting for my landlady for some negotiating, please wish me luck

Oh are you asking for a rent reduction - good idea!

Jubilee line is suspended from Stratford to Green Park. Just a heads up. I was looking forward to some ale...

Oh crap - that's my only way of getting there.

What a lovely evening!

even without booze! doug fell into a coma after dinner anyway

Yeah, I felt decidedly wobbly all the way home.

was it something I said?
BILL MADE ME SAY IT!
GENIE MADE ME SAY IT!
ALICE MADE ME SAY IT!

Oh no. We enjoyed THAT conversation.

I didn't make anyone do anything nor nuffink nor niver.

Great night out though even if the converstion did get a little dodgy at times.

At least the sad old drunk found most of it funny.
Did he say he was livid or living ?
More in a bit.

Dessa thank you for an uncanny Tarot reading. Sorry I wasn't saying much but I was a little thrown about how close you were to the truth.
I'd suggest anyone out there to ask Dessa to do a reading for you.
I was a bit blown away.

thanks Bill, love to see happy readees. If anyone would like a tarot card reading just pm me, in the london area or online via skype
I do actually like reading those who don't say anything, so if they're happy with the reading afterwards it reminds me the cards never lie!

oh the old man was a little way off, the burping out loud blowing nose extravaganza was getting on to me, ugghhh

He was a real life Father Jack! Feck...booze...girls...'ave you had a lovely evening?

I'm not generally one for tarot readings but after seeing Bill so impressed I'll definitely think about it.

Got up at 5 this morning as some of the London Advanced Motorists were doing a breakfast run to Rye. Motorcycling early in the day is great - no traffic, everything pretty - but I've just woken up from a 2-hour nap.

Roly Berkin from the fast show wasn't it ? I thought the two of them were hilarious. At least the first old boy could get up and go home.
I'm sure the one that remained is still there now. Did you see the condition of his skin ? I think he may have a bit of a drink problem.
Getting up really early on a Sunday Alice ? Not sure I understand the concept of that.
Mind you I did wake up alone which as kind of nice.
It's a shame we got split up on the way home but a Nissin pick up truck almost took me out on the south circular roundabout.
You may have seen me trying to keep the Hornet upright and keep my thumb on the horn.
Until next time ?
When is next time boyz and girls ?
Missing you all.

Yeah alright it doesn't belong here but shall we organise a big Donkei Skok meeting in the next couple of months ?
You know a really big one that everyone can make like kinda big type stuff ?
All the regular Koks and all the people who just wanna turn up and say hello just as long as they are good looking ?
Somewhere like a big pub, possibly the Pilot or somewhere Italian in the smoke or close by it ? I kind of leaning towards the Italian idea so we can line all the scoots up out front ?
I'm going to suggest the 6/7th of June. Who isn't washing their hair that day ?
If this idea takes off I'll transfer it ( or it will be done for me ) to the rally section.

PS Not a ride out just a meeting of good looking people. That's you Doug.

count me in!

meh. i'm too funny looking. i'm staying at home all june on account of it.

now that drunken fellow in the pilot with his charming deep rose coloured complexion and enchanting berry-like nose ... he can be my stand-in.
