Hi Mick.

Competing or just ar**ing around?

[Bryanj]

Now Now Steve EVERYBODY competes over there, specially on Sundays!!

Welcome, you picked one of the best supported modles there, just need Dave silvers number and a deep wallet

[SteveD CB500K0]

Couldn't agree more Bryan.

I have ridden my Triumph Sprint 12k miles this year (so far). It's fast, handles, brakes, fast, sounds gorgeous, fast, no carbs, no choke, no fuel tap, (did I mention that it's fast?) and it is Tornado Red which is the same colour as the Ferrari that was next to me at the petrol station tonight.

However, at weekends I like to go out on my 500/4.

I'll always have one.


How's 036 coming along?

Nice to hear you finally got the pot off  , if we get some sunny days and no salt on the road  , i'm still up for a brew at southport  , cheers Mick.

[Dave M]

If you can sit OK Dave I could pick you up.

[dave400]

Mick/Dave if you fancy a brew next time the sun is out let me know, I can drive my car now that I have my leg/foot back so getting to Southport is no problem! I hope to have my 450&400 ready for spring, I
