An opposite thread to the "What Gets My Goat" one.

I'll start it off...

Those new sweeping Audi indicators that light from one side of the unit across to the other. I think they look great

Is this thread supposed to be bike or car related?
I think it might get closed very soon if you open it up to everything that floats your boat!

Yer right there Tiger it does look mean, I love the look of it.
I think there is a bit of bullshit thought, that tyre has had one hell of a hard time I have never in all my years of riding ever ever ever had a rear tyre look anything remotely like that. But funny enough that disc rota on the bike looks like it's never been spun

It's seems much the same but opposite to 'What have you done with what ever else you own' thread.

New socks and freshly baked crusty bread

(I'm easily pleased

)

I tend to have those two things the other way around new bread and crusty socks.

What about the '20 something year old bird'?

Just wanted to know so I know what I can look forward to when I retire

And the only gagging that goes on is being sick after too much chocolate and whisky and carbon monoxide.

A Manx Norton, with a four valve head.

A race G50 Matchless.

The stars on a clear night. Sorry about this one, sounds a bit soppy, but I could stare at them for hours and never get bored, diamonds on velvet, etc, etc.

Going outside at night and hearing a bike in the distance having the tits thrashed off it, and thinking, go on sunshine give it some.

Seeing someone else wheelying their bike. Both big AND clever at the same time.

Working away the odd night, no wife, no kids, watch what I want on the telly, free beer, free food, free beer, now I know I mentioned beer twice but it was such a biggie, that I thought it was worth the repeat.

Seeing a bunch of guys on "fully loaded for camping" bikes and thinking, I wonder where they are going? Then usually, I wish I was going with them.

A white and red Yamaha 350N YPVS, 1986 for preference, just like the one I used to have, sob, sob.

There will be more when I think of them.

Summer and a good sun set and a glass off beer whilst gently swinging in my hammock listening to a blackbird singing from the top of the south tower of Sharp Hall, after I have been out on my bike.

Good adjustment call

. Surely there are better places for a bit of swinging though
