New bike day. Rode 70 miles home in 4 degree temps but sunny and dry roads. Bike is small for 937cc motorcycle, agile and a pile of fun. Being tall I have had the high seat installed. Bought from Ducati Abingdon and got a monster deal. I like chewing the cud with sales folks. In January they sold 13 bikes and so far this month 11. Considering these are the worst 2 months for selling motorcycles that’s pretty good as Ducati I guess is a premium brand. What cost of living crisis eh. first mod done 🤣

Bin dippers eh. didn’t realise there was an injury. ref getting stick as well. sad I missed this game.

To my sadness I missed the game. Scoring an equaliser in the 8th minute of a 5 minute extra time period is annoying I guess. the interwebs are alive with the fallout of the game. but in all this, Moyes is doing a miracle there.

As they all have them what’s the point.

I went the other way back in the day and bought the VTR1000. Absolutely loved that bike with two bros exhausts and a few minor mods. Ran a 1:59 at kyalami with that bike back in the day. It was a glorious machine with the only drawback being 48 mm carbs that used juice at a rate of knots unlike any motorcycle I have ever owned. when I bought it, honda were battling to sell em as everyone was buying the TL so got a great deal. Classy bike and unfortunately one day it was stolen. By then the VTR SP had come out and was winning so the vtr profile raised and prices were up and couldn’t afford a replacement with the insurance payout. The TL was always the hornier of the 2. Had a bad boy rep. My mate had one of the first and Simon F loved his back then. Never stopped raving about it back in the day. congrats man, lovely example.

Lots of anger and gnashing of teeth here regarding the prices of tickets. Can go to download for 5 days for less than a golden circle ticket. Glastonbury is around 340 etc. etc. etc.. cheapest ticket is 197, when I factor in my train fees, beer , etc for spouse and i I am in for probably around 700. I have booked a 4 night ocean cruise for less than that. Becomes difficult to justify. that said, I suspect come Friday resellers will have a pair of tickets for over 10 grand.

Pricing is eye watering.

In a nutshell, don’t sell items you have no intention of delivering.

Will Ange survive tomorrow, I think not.

Not so long ago, in fact in the last 18 months both the Beatles and the Rolling Stones had a number one, right after each other too iirc. Nostalgia is a big thing. on that note…yes yes. Intentional. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Becoming_Led_Zeppelin

Yes, it’s sad that he was singled out for the loss. Totally unfair and he was lambasted and castigated back in Italy. And still is.

Dude will forever be remembered for that penalty. That’s his legacy. Sad innit.

Long injury list , think Levy’s patience may run out if a loss is recorded at villa park on Sunday.

Wonder if Ange keeps his job now. If spurs don’t win in Europe next season will be dire. cos they sure as shitzola aint gonna win the fa cup.

Speaking of, the young lass is going for another world record, this time up the dark side. what a wholesome lass.

Naai jou maatjie is never ok, even more so for a supposedly role model.

I hear you. Got myself onto a pre launch list to try and get a ticket. I was meant to see ozzy in 2019 but he postponed due to ill health , then Covid came along then his health again and finally in 2023 we were refunded eventually. so this is my final shot at seeing ozzy and black sabbath. Great line up including Jake e Lee who I rate as a guitarist, he was in ozzy’s band at one point but fell foul of Sharon, so good to see him tooo. And Gojira , wow, just wow. suspect tickets will be north of 200 though. But if I get the opportunity to buy one I will certainly do so. Or failing that will live stream it if they have that possibility. here’s a pic in front of the mill that was the album cover for the first album. This was on the anniversary of the album launch.
