Miserable sods!

Post by Extreme Steve » Sun Nov 29, 2015 5:04 pm

Damn it's bloody hard work! I have been trying to get a few mates interested in getting a C90 for almost a year now, with not much success. It all started while driving home from work on a February afternoon. The traffic was slow and noticed a dim light coming the other way. It turned out to be 3 guys on Puch Mixi's, fully loaded with tents, sleeping bags and backpacks. What sort of adventure were they on, or half way through? What could be better, that setting off on a Friday evening (summer would be good) and just heading off and just enjoying a nice ride to anywhere? One says get wants a 1200cc as its more comfy! But he's missing the point. We live in Kent so a hop across the channel is just 45 min away. There is so many places to see in the uk, but on a 1200cc blasting along the motorway, really! Oh well just little old me then.

Never mind Steve, lots of adventures to be had in the South East on tiddler bikes.

Plenty of like minded nutters around.

BTW, My best mate was riding an RSV 1000, when I lent him a 90 to tag along on the East Anglian Rideout! He's since moved to Aberdeen and given up motorcycling, but he still raves about the wonderful weekend he had! :D

Greetings. Just tell your 'mates' they are a bunch of w*****s and disown them for good. If they don't get it now they never will.
