[newcastle phill]

Especially around the Newcastle area.
Itll soon be summer again lol

Let's have some pics of your rides, as soon as I've got my PC sorted I'll upload some !!

 

[newcastle phill]

If it's ever summer again perhaps also met up for a coffee at the usual spots, rothbury,hartside etc !
But maybe not squires anymore as it's been sold !!!

 

[newcastle phill]

I guess you lot are too busy counting your pennies lol !

I'm not allowed a motor bike otherwise I would be over the hills and far away going to California !

 

[lame plumber]

with a bike you can "go your own way" "everwhere"and "don't stop"coz you can see "the seven wonders" of the world as you "ramble on" "over the hills and far away" and end up in "california"

Had all manner of off-road and enduro bikes since I was 9, 44 and 3/4 now and sold my last enduro 2 yrs ago
Found I don't bounce as well as I used to
Never had a road bike, if I did, I probably wouldn't be writing this now:wings:

 

[newcastle phill]

Now that is on the bucket list lol !! America California Canada.... in not fussy !
Im not a Harley sort of rider but I do see the appeal just ambling along in the sun on a cruiser and not my bike which would probably break down in the car park lol

My old girl

we refer to motorcyclists as organ donors round this way, which is the main reason I never got one

My dad's got 3 garages full of old bikes and some classic one's too. ThrThey are supposed to be for working on when he's retired but I don't think it's going to happen.
I remember him giving me a lift on the back of his Honda CBX nearly about 25 years ago....

Nice Duke, don't get her wet! I sold my last bike 18 months ago. Would love another but can't afford it at the mo.

Harley`s are known round here as Hardly Ablesome`s, so big noisy and SLOW.

Have `85 GPZ900r in Blue & Silver and a `78 Z900 A4 (rough, very rough) spare engine and frame need help with the old zed though can`t work out if it the electrics or the carbs. Gonna be selling the lot this year coz I`m too old to get hurt and don`t bounce as well as I used to :wheelchair:

Family or bike ? Unfortunately I can't do both. Just been prom dress shopping. Well just driving SWMBO. £400 down tonight and that's just for starters. The dream will have to wait.

What's the problem with the old A4 ?

 

[rpm]

Just won`t quite fire up, get`s really close but not close enough to fire up.

 

[newcastle phill]

Compression test ok ?

 

[fogarty]

I remember in the 80 s getting pulled 8 times in one week. Once a day and twice on Sunday. By the police I should say before all you dirty minded souls get the wrong idea.

Anyone with a life is an organ donor to you you tart.......

 

[newcastle phill]

My organ is not much use to you mere mortals haha !

 

[rpm]

Yeah, think so. Met a guy last year who used to race them and he offered to come and look for beer tokens but I lost his number. Have spare set of carbs so thinking of buying new coils, points, rectifiers, carb rubbers etc and paying someone, really need to clear both garages this year.

Gave mouth to mouth to a bloke in dunoon mouth to mouth in 2010. Hit gravel and hit a lanny head on. I was pumping - bad enough his fellow rider was blowing not nice at all. Poor bloke had no chance. Helicopter paramedic let him slip away as he wasn't getting any better. Not been on or near a bike after that.

Please, please, please when you sell the Z900 let me have first refusal. She will go to a VERY loving home to be restored and cherished!
