Bloody Thing Using My Garage Space

[grog]

This week have  bloody visitors coming. Could stay quite a few months. Will my 14 get jealous, maybe. Have to keep clean, charge  battery, pump  tyres, even ride  i was told. Things you do for mates. Mate is moving house and unfortunately i have to store his toys until he gets new house. will i survive?

[grog]

Before anyone asks,the girl is not one of his toys, shes mine for nearly 30 yrs.

The things you have to do to keep a mate   

[Kiwifruit]

The Duke yes the Trumpet no. Just too big for me.

[VladTepes]

Two extra bikes is too many for you to handle mate.  I'll look after the Diavel for him....

[Globalrider]

Love that Duke!

[VladTepes]

@grog pair of six-pots for someone else's Diavel seems like a good trade to me !

[grog]

Does sound a good deal

[grog]

Diavel gets delivered 6am tomorrow. Today mate brought his Thruxton around. got a sit but not a ride. Seat is too skinny, footpegs too small. riding position perfect, thought bars woulod be too low, not at all. Spoilt at moment. Has promised me a ride, cant wait. I reckon my old girl held her head up, looked good next to Thuxton.

Is that you and your wifey in the first photo Grog?

[grog]

No mate, im the photographer, yeah my wife JA, no idea how she puts up with me, simply the best woman ever made, bloke with her in same category. just a best mate for 40 yrs. luck if you can find people like that. they seem to like me so i cant be as bad as i think i am. life can be good.

@grog, you'll love riding the Thruxton, nicely balanced, beautiful to ride, beautiful sound and go around like they are on rails. Maybe I'm biased having a Trumpet myself, but having ridden my mates Thruxton, if I didn't want to do touring that would definitely be the bike I'd have.

Is that the 1200 Dave?  I've ridden the 900 & it's a bit down on power for my liking.

Yes the 1200. I'd agree the 900 could do with some more oomph

I know that road well. I used to go up for the Cooktown festival every year to enter the billycart race.
I won it in 1999 and 2002.
Just sayin'
