Just another day in paradise
My brother is always in the right place,at the right time.The bastard just bought a Triumph 650, for less than i paid for breakfast.It aint a "barn find",but it was parked,as a runner, in some blokes garage,back in 1987.It turns over,and has decent compression.We just got it off the trailer,and everything is looking up from here.
Hey TC,"pictures or it did'nt happen"Working on it mate.

Us northerners are tight arsed because we never made the same money as you southerners. We learned to make less money go further.
Go further north to Scotland and they can make $25 last a month. |

I was told they made the 50p coin octgaginal,so us southerners could get it out of you northern blokes hands with a spanner.

I was going to say that southerners don't know how to use a spanner but you have your bike apart more than anyone else I know

He says he might just sell it on,or he might turn it into a flat tracker.He has already bought an export model tank,so i reckon he will keep it.I hope so anyway,it would be nice for us to go for rides together on British bikes.
