DSS EI £132 including the VAT. I'm still running my 36yr old Piranha that was bought for a Guzzi.

Just read it G, bad news followed by good news!, I thought I saw you as I rode away from CMC but I guess it was another thruxton owner.
PS thanks for the DS tip, £99 is a bargain if I end up needing one.
PPS just check on DS website, they are now £110 but that's still cheap.

Hi Mark

No it wasn't me mate, still suffering unfortunately, I cant do with any bollock bashing right now...Ouch

Ha, I can imagine, nice line up, shame you've only got 3 though, I believe that 4 is the bare minimum that any biker should own, not more than 4 though because obviously that would just be greedy 😄
PS only one floor to your house as well, every man should have 2, I mean how do you go on when the wife misbehaves an needs throwing down the stairs?.

3 of the best is enough for me mate, I don't like fiddling with them too much & I am not as capable as you with the spanners.. ;) bikes are for riding & we all can only ride one at a time
I have to have them looking as near perfect as possible all the time. so it takes me hours to keep them clean which is sometimes too much for me at my age. :'(

Regarding the bungalow I did have 2, but with no stairs, just sold the 2nd [in Spain]
My other half is a little angel & she goes to work brings in the cash while I go out riding to Matlock etc, so no need for the violence.. ;D.. 25 good years together so far.

Lisa says hello >>>

Ha, and something tells me that if anyone was going to take an unplanned trip down the stairs (if you had any) it would have been you! 😄, Yes cleaning bikes is a pleasure that eventually becomes a pain, oh to be 21 again, nothing seemed to hurt back then!, anyway very attractive line up of photo's and if you don't mind me saying so that includes the good lady 👍

Mark, thanks for "some" kind words.. ;) but Are you trying to insinuate that Lisa would want to get rid of me.. :o Well if she did she has had 25 years to do so but not tried ....Yet... ;D... perhaps that's why she encourages me to get on my bike. :-\

Ha, yes I always wonder if that could be the reason that my wife never has a problem with me going out on mine! 😄

I'm looking at an MV Augusta F4 1000S next week, been my dream bike since they came out, only 2 issues, no space to put it and struggling to justify another bike spend 😄, problems are there to be solved though aren't they!.


Mark I have found a cheap MV for you... 8)

Blimey a free one, now that is a bargain, unfortunately I don't like the black ones so I'll keep looking 😄👍
Oh hang on my phone hadn't loaded the ad properly, 53k, well I would have but as I say, blacks the wrong colour!.
