Where's TOG?

I always had him as more of a French street kid.

La Rue, perhaps?

 

*snort*

 

Me too please. It's 4 or 5 thousand for me.

 

Make like a 50s spy and digicam the page.

 

I'm not bothered about the Katy, it's the description of my poor ZXR.

 

I know that bike inside out - however Tog described it, mere words
would never convey just how truly awful and abused it was/is.

This is the one which managed to shed its front brake lever on the
outward trip last year, right?

That's a failure I've not known to happen to anyone else, on any bike,
ever.

 

All he said was...

"if Katy (names changed to protect the guilty) can manage the Elefant on
a knackered ZXR400..."

Really, storm in a teacup.

servicing!"

the Boche! And give you the good servicing you so desperately need. And
then I'll fix your bike, so I will!"

And they all lived happily ever after.

 

I remember that. The one that was falling to bits in pretty much every way
possible, and which LN couldn't be arsed to do up, despite declaring it was
her One True Love?

Was the nasty man rude about your bike then?

quelle surprise

 

Don't do what I've just done today, rush out and buy last months edition
or you'll be very disappointed.

Last months edition is encased in a plastic bag with "FREE HEIN GERICKE
CATALOGUE" carefully concealing "April 2009 £3.99". It's also got 600s
'09 CRB600RR v ZX-6R v 676 v R6 v GSX-R600" along the top.

 

^^^^^^^^^^

This fucks me off. HTF can the April edition be "last month's" while
we're still only in March?

Actually, I do know how the mags got there, but it's about time they
were realigned. Maybe they do it so that "dozey and sleepy" people buy
the wrong edition and have to fork out another four quid, simply
because the date on the month gives no clue as to whther it's the
current one or not.

 

And pouting, don't forget the pouting.

The bike got fixed first. Otherwise, an uncanny summing up.

<warm glow>

 

In fairness, I had not yet acquired my special powers and was merely a
mild-mannered motorized mechanical engineering lecturer, without the
usual charisma of the post.

 

Silly me I should have said next months edition. So the one you want is
next next months.

I think the Elefant article would be better timed for a
November/December edition so that people would be reminded that you can
actually do fun stuff over the winter if you fancy it. There would be
just enough time to actually do it too.

 

I'd agree. I only read the thread of Champ's received SMS messages when
I got back, and even though I sent about half of them I was laughing fit
to bust.

 

Having just read through the "British Expeditionary Force" thread a
rather prescient Carley foretold of the cremation of the Tenere in his
witty poem on the 28th of January.

It's almost as though he's picked up special powers by hanging about
with a witch or something or am I mixing him up with someone else ?
