No .. I am a hunter gatherer. Then as soon as I have all of the parts I am going to have a big build off with loads of beer. Or if you mean do I ever do any work...work  .. yes but yesterday I was stuck on the M25/M3/M1 for about 10 hours so took it easy today and did a bit of Honda Research. Always go to work early to avoid traffic and go on the bike sites to see what you bu**ers are up to. ;D

How come  there are loads of people who say they were on the Brighton Bike shot looking up at the bike, can't have been that many. Also I know at least 5 people who claimed they did the whistle in the middle of a Wishbone Ash track on one of their Album live tracks recorded at De-Montford Hall Leicester  ::) Showing me age now!

Racing & Sporting Show.

Takes me back.

Dreadful location but as you can see, we climbed all over everything.

One of my mates got a parking ticket for parking his bike on the pavement outside one of the halls.

Ralph - I think you've stepped over the line here mate. If you've got something useful to say then say it, but there's absolutely no need to be negative towards one of the most valued members here. Don't preface a statement with 'don't mean to offend you' and then go and directly offend someone - clearly if you're calling someone's contribution 'boring' they're going to be put off and not bother to contribute any more. Frankly, that just pisses me off mate. I always find Ash's contributions interesting, regardless of whether they relate to a bike I have / own / have an interest in. I'm sure you'll come back at me with some comment about 'if you can't take it' blah blah blah.....don't bother mate as frankly I for one am bored of the negativity. I'm all up for having a laugh / bit of banter.

Always find the old bike films fascinating.

To All
Clearly it looks as though I have offended Ash.All I can say is, it definitely was not my intention at all to do this. So Ash please accept my profound apology.I do not find you boring at all, so why was this thought and the word boring appear I never mentioned it?In the past I have shared good banter with you and hope to continue in the future.Your files off all Honda stuff are interesting and does help me to remember stuff I had well forgotten.
Best Regards
Ralph

I may be sticking my head above the parapet on this one, but anyway, being a bit more junior member than some of you longer term contributors I do find it quite hard to place comments/replys that I think could be amusing but could offend someone/original poster. That's nothing to do with you guys but more that I find what is essentially a remote means of communication a bit harder to judge than face to face if that makes sense.
I've only met Pete on here (recruited by Pete at the Ace-cafe) and there is certainly a different affinity with someone that I've met in person.
I have definetly kept out of some of the Trig/Bitsa banter as I'm not sure of contributing anything or judge accurately as to the level at which it's happening and can see how Bitsa has maybe overshot in responding to Ash........but can see that he has offered a sincere apology.
I'm certainly not asking of anybody to respond in any particular way but think it would be a shame to potentially loose two very good posters from the general discussions on the site, one of it's great strengths is it's personal feeling backed with a huge knowledge and willingness to get stuck into the topics.
I find all of the build threads at whatever level fascinating and certainly, given the chance, would have no hesitation in meeting any one of you.
Ash and Bitsa, I've enjoyed both of your different directions and appreciate the time you've taken to post both words and photos of two very different approaches, and hope you may find a way that gives us more.

Nigel.

PM'd this to Ralph ... Bitsa

Hi Ralph.. Just a quick one to say no hard feelings mate and I know we have exchanged good friendly banter in the past. Suppose there’s some truth that I should be getting on restoring my bikes / work instead of waffling on about the past and perhaps the frequency of my posts a bit too prolific recently, so I decided not to contribute on the UK  forum for a while. Will definitely come back on in the New Year , once I have my ‘ducks in a row’. I am nearly there now with the parts I need for the 750K0 and my 250K0 now but it’s been a struggle because some of the parts are so rare. I want to come back with more focused postings /rebuild threads. For example, I now have all of the stuff for black anodizing and I want to have a crack at it and report on the forum so that someone else can have a go too.  Please post this on the forum if you wish and I appreciate everyone’s comments and your apology you put on there.  Waffling on again !!! … must go …. Cheers Ash

As an ex Lancastrian I find it very difficult to promote the "straight faced" humour to these damn sotheners where i live, even been with the girlfriend/wife for 12 years and there are many times she don't get me, but life is life and as an old boss used to say "He who does nothing wrong don't do anything" so whatever happens and whoever gets temporarily upset live life as fast as you dare 'cos that Mayan prophecy may just be running a few years late!!

Well in the spirit of this forum, Ralph if I was a bit over the top with my slightly vitriolic response previously then I apologise. Last thing I wanted to be perceived of here is as the bad guy..was just speaking my mind I guess as we all do from time to time. Plus I'd had a pretty shitty week so again, hopefully no hard feelings.
I would just hate to have seen Ash gone completely, but based on the above looks like we'll see more quality content from Ash in the new year which is a great thing.
Oh and as one of the 'damn southerners' you're right Bryan there's definitely a difficulty in getting the diverse ranges of 'humor' understood, especially given the age/cultural/location diversity of the members on this and other forums, and the fact we communicate more or less purely in text.
Still, we have common ground in theses amazing machines that bind us together.
