Welcome @truckinthumper, enjoy what's probably the best forum around, definitely the most helpful & knowledgeable, but be warned, sarcasm & piss taking is a national sport in the UK, generally not meant to offend, except the snowflakes😜.

Amen, not just me then lol🙄

I kin luv irn-bru, but not the diet shite🤮

There'd be no one left to do any actual police work 🤣

Yeah my mate was firearms, if he got called In urgently he had dispensation that meant speed cams etc wouldnt count against him, but a few months before our "pull", he got stopped coming through Croydon underpass, going home from one such urgent call out, flashed his warrant card & explained to the rat the situation & that he was heading home for some much needed shut-eye before an impending shift, guy was like "take it easy, ride safe", couple of days later he got called in front of his boss & bollocked for abusing his "privileges", going to a shout its OK, but coming from one not so much. He wasn't impressed, hence why we smiled nicely & played dumb when we got tugged. Rule number one, admit, or even guess nothing lol.

Isn't it obvious, he's a plasterer & he got to a job & realised he'd left his tools in the other motor, if he wanted to get paid he had to improvise with what he had in the boot. Simples😜

I think it has been said the fairing/headlight shroud could be likened to an ugly child, only his mama could love him🤣, thankfully you can't see it when your riding. Will do, although I've not been to Box Hill in about 25 years, last time I set out to go there with a plod mate of mine, we got pulled about 10 miles away, jolly nice black rat who could have thrown the book at us 😇, & then warned us to stay away from box Hill that day as he was on his way there to meet up with colleagues & cane everyone who had small numberplates & moody exhausts, which we were both guilty of lol😇😇. Jolly nice bloke, very sporting of him👍, & me mate didn't even have to show his "get out of jail free" card.

Well, I took the plunge & now own my first Italian, & also my first twin, initial impressions so far are good, pulls like a train (even with my fat arse on it lol) & generally feels great. Only 20 miles done this evening but I've got a pre-op on Thursday so I'll do another 100 then, mostly winding Country lanes so good opportunity to test the handling 😁 & yeah I will be losing the cissy backrest 🤮

I can agree with that, one of my old regular sites bought a load of ready made velcro armbands, they were great for most of the younger players, but some of us real "men" had to attach two together to make them fit our ample "muscular" arms 🤣💪

To be fair, even the Ukrainians are using tape & armbands, all over the media, any wonder civvies are thinking that's the military norm 🤔. Should have wound them up with some mad completely over the top war story lol

Agree, I'm a bit of a water snob anyway, i only drink the tapwater at home if its boiled in a cuppa, most tap water seems to have a "taste", & usually gives me a sore throat ?, wtf that's about I don't know ?. But most supermarkets own brands are more than palatable, especially when ice cold, so I usually chuck 8 litre pack in the chest freezer the night before, time I need it on site it's started defrosting nicely🥶 While site owners have a reasonable duty of care to clients, it's shouldn't leave them out of pocket just to protect the Darwin award winners amongst society (all your doing is delaying the inevitable lol).

Damn right, plus your average bellend knows what he is, & probably shrugs off the insults, but insulting a blokes missus, that's like a kick in the balls😭

I'm undecided 🤔

Managed to click on the title instead of the latest post, so started at the beginning again, scrolled down, I know everyone is shocked about how long he's been getting away with it, but I think I'm more horrified about how pigging ugly his bint is, that is one wretched looking witch, clearly he's not using his ill gotten gains on beauty treatments for her🤮

I thought the schools don't break up til next week 😜

Geartechs jobs are awesome, even the ridiculous bright nerf style paintjobs look right, no easy feat. I've painted a few of mine in the past, nothing fancy, which I think is where some guys go wrong, trying too hard if you haven't got the arty farty skills. Mine were just some random dustings in no particular direction or order , with krylon obviously, as I think that's another area that guys go wrong in, yer Halford etc colours tend to be too bright & too shiny, too artificial, krylon rocks🤟

You speak for yourself mate, I'm a god of war AND............

Cats, yeah I get that, but my divvy Niece called her first kid Fred 7 years ago, no issues, & then 4 years ago had another sprog, AND CALLED HER ROSE FFS. & we're like "really, Fred & Rose" & she's like "I don't know what your getting at" ?

Dude, it's an appraisal thread, if you want to make him an offer do it via pm

For anyone that hasn't seen it, probably the most awesome shootout ever filmed👍 Just watched it for old times sake, now I want another FNC 😍
