I was planning taking the bike out tonight, alas after a hard day at work was so tired there was no chance on taking the bike out the shed, and doing a charity car wash tomorrow so that knocks that on the head, hope it stays for Sunday, not likely.

Try a plate of their Cheesy Bacon Chips with lot of sweet chilli sauce on them and a Mug of tea £5-00 . Chilli Sauce just inside door on the right along with the milk & sugar.
I pop in there a couple of times a week and always neck back a trough full of them.

Its ok the little black spots is pepper. Oy! not so much about the poor old retarded retired brickie. :'(

Had a squirt around this afternoon and popped into Loomies for a mug of tea, and this BMW came into the car park while I was there, Cafe Racer, going up for sale in about 3 weeks, the owner wants £8K for it so I did not ask for his details. :eek


I think he said it was a 1978 model, notice single front disk and drum back brake, the body work is a paint dip and not carbon fibre, but looks really lifelike, very very clean, but a shed load of dosh, he said it handles very very well but the chicken strips on the back cover tells a different story.

Where do these nut-jobs get their price expectations from !


I know, I know, "Hipsters" with more money than sense and who are too young to have been around when real cafe racers we're all the rage. These new faux cafe racers seem to go for looks and image rather than function, ignoring that the original cafe racers were bikes modified for better performance, not just "style".

 The problem is they're butchering classics to do it, original unmolested R100RSs and the like will be unfindable before long. It make you piss when they 'café race' CD200 Benlys and the like though and put them on Ebay for £2k. Clip ons on a single seat don't make a dog slow, poor handling bike into a racer.

Exactly. There was, maybe still is, a US series on tv called Cafe Racers that I followed for a while as it sometimes featured a pal of mine, where they'd cafe race various suitable bikes. But when the ideas started to dry up and they'd start putting clip ons and a 5 gallon tank on a CX500, you just think why, what's the point.

Yes, the weather, at last.  Blew some of those cobwebs away myself on Sunday.  A nice 60 mile round trek Rye, New Romney, Hastings.  However, remember to stay safe guys and gals.  On the route I took on Sunday, later on in the day there were two serious motorcycle accidents  :(
