Nice Trump! Try standing on the kicker, that way all of your 75 lbs can work for you. Sounds like a silly remark, but it's true. Just stand to the right of the bike, use the bars for balance, with your right leg step up on the kicksart, give a little hop. Presto: "rap-a-bap-bap..." Have fun...

Excellent, I'll get to finish my table-dance story! All together now: No Snow, No Snow, No Snow...

Have to add my kudos to all involved that night. I had a blast. Vinnie, I hope you won't hold that bump start against me. You've contributed admirably to the local ton-up lore. Keep on Tuckin. Aces. Yeah fun stuff to be sure. Weather was sweet, the conversation stimulating, plenty of noise and...

The big issue might prove to be the durability of your wrists, neck and lower back. How many hours per day are you planning to put in the saddle? Let's assume you're physically up for it. I'm just a tad put off by the degree of preparation you're willing to undertake. I've made the trip...

Funny shit? that's great!

Birthday brew to you-hoo birthday brew to you-hoo Birthday brew-oo to you-hoo birthday brew-oo to you next time I see ya peace til then

More belated congrats, Amigo. Stop by or call for your celebrity funnel o' beer and #46 decal-ed racing crutches! All the best, Manno...

CHECK THAT. Unfortunately I'll be en route to the Laurentians for some ski action. Enjoy. And maybe we can think about doing the GPs somewhere. Incredible field this year, it would be a blast. Anywho, thanks for the invite Fugue...

Absolutamente! Beat hell out of watching at the Swan on Bloor, sports bar stylee. Fugue, I look forward to meeting you then. Unless we met at Noel's the other night, in which case I should not have been driving home. Wait a minute, I didn't. Phew. CHECK THAT. Unfortunately I'll be en route to...

I had this early 70s Yamaha 200cc twin 2-stroke. Not the one pictured, but same under a far-out geometric tank mural and even gnarlier expansion chambers than this one. Flicked me off a couple times, screechy little bitch!

Definite interest. Shame if Speed is the only option, though I suppose it is. Their coverage of Grand Prix bike stuff is lamentable. Must confess, I've never seen the Daytona race. Except of course, for Duhamel's amazing step-out, endo and remount in 06. Now that's entertainment. Count me in if...

Okay so that tank's gotta leak like a sieve and that rad housing has definitely got to go but...

Re: Free to a Good home.. Just pay for shipping or pick it up.. Sounds great, not sure about the show. I'll take some dimensions off my Bonnie and get over there soon. best, L

Re: Free to a Good home.. Just pay for shipping or pick it up.. Hey Noel, still got that seat pan? I'd like to look at it. Best, L

Oh, and I didn't mention: on none of my Nortons did I ever take the practical step of fitting electronic ignition or a Mikuni carb. So, you can expect to have enven more fun and even less trouble if you're going that direction. Okay, I'm done, my apologies to all the nay-sayers...
