I have been in many places, but I've never been in Kahoots.
Apparently, you can't go alone. You have to be in Kahoots with someone.
I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.
I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my children, friends, family and work.
I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too much on physical activity anymore.
I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.
I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.
Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older.
One of my favourite places to be is in Suspense ! It really gets the adrenaline flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age, I need all the stimuli I can get !
I may have been in Continent, but I don't remember what country that was in. It's an age thing. They tell me it is very wet and damp there.
Please do your part ! My job is done ! Life is too short for negative drama and petty things. So, laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly !
"As good as this bar is," said the Scotsman, "I still prefer the pubs back home. In Glasgow , there's a wee place called McTavish's.... The landlord goes out of his way for the locals. When you buy four drinks, he'll buy the fifth drink."
"Well, Angus," said the Englishman, "At my local in London , the Red Lion, the barman will buy you your third drink after you buy the first two."
"Ahhh, dat's nothin'," said Paddy Sheehan, the Irishman. "Back home in me favorite pub in Galway , the moment you set foot in the place, they'll buy you a drink, then another, all the drinks you like, actually. Then, when you've had enough drinks, they'll take you upstairs and see dat you get laid, all on the house!"
The Englishman and Scotsman were suspicious of the claims. "Did this actually happen to you?"
"Not meself, personally, no," admitted the Irishman, "but it did happen to me sister quite a few times."
Jack Knoops found an interesting image of a motorcycle fitted with a radial engine. A little research showed that the radial engine is an Australian ROTEC R2800 seven cylinder light aircraft model built around 2000-ish, and later superseded by an improved model in 2005.
Radial engines were designed initially exclusively for the aircraft industry as a means of arranging the maximum numbers of active cylinders mounted on the minimum size (and therefore weight) of crankcase.
Attached is the image that first interested Jack. sadly the initial caption is totally inaccurate, describing it as a rotary engine!
In hindsight I should have posted my Facebook status as: "I've blown the head gasket on my 1997 XR3i" rather than "I've just buggered a 14 year old escort".
The police still haven't seen the funny side, my lap top's been confiscated, and the wife has gone off to her mother.
Claude's bike was as far as you could see, absolutely bog standard - but he was a very talented rider, even before on a Motobecane home brew he was still one of the men to watch. Natural talent will win over bike specification every day of the week............
In those days, folding footrests were not usual.
The real genius on the Greeves during my stint in France was Christian Rayer.
The best sound has to be a Matchless G80 Motocross bike with a straight through pipe!
My favourite road bike was a Matchless G80CS with pillion seat and QD lights - made up in Plumstead for me in the Comp shop and delivered through King's of Oxford, where it was waiting in a special display window above the main door - and handed over by Stan Hailwood complete with local press camera.
Before the motorway speed limits were introduced I did the run from the bottom of the MI to the end of the road, at that time, which was at Watford Gap, every weekend for nearly six months, whilst I was on a Diploma course at Chelsea, and Mary was staying with her Mum on the farm just outside Rugby to help out whilst I was away, then home to Market Drayton for each weekend.
The M1 stint was just over 96 miles in those days and I did that regularly just under the hour.........
And that was before crash helmets were introduced.
I think Most people in Leeds send wheels to C. Wylde's Just off Kirkstall Road. I'd give them a ring first as I think they are mainly online these days.
Since many know I was brought up in Leeds can I explain that although I used to deliver groceries on a Saturday morning to Mr Wylde's home in Alwoodley on the shop bike with a tiny front wheel and a basket frame out front, and also bought several motorbikes from the shop over the years, that is the only connection between this Wylde and those Wyldes.........
The Gerald Simpson Trial is on May 15. The course will be the full monty of roughly forty miles based on Townfoot Farm, Carlton in Coverdale and will start at 10.0am.

The Secretary is Chris Wallis, Park Top Farm, Marske, Richmond DL11 7LS.
Quite true . We need plenty and afordable british bikes unfortunately which are not available anymore .. i wish we can re-manu facture complete engines again .. or may be get parts made cheap from india/china on same pattern..
Sorry this my view only. Just want to see them for next century i passionate about them since childhood regards
I know of several people who have used a Madras-built Enfield Bullet as an economical starting point.........

Hi ttspud,
My HT5, dry, weighed exactly 275 lbs on the local weighbridge in 1957; in 1964 my AJS 16C weighed 308 lbs, same weighbridge, same conditions.
