I had a Fiat 127 hatchback. Brilliant little car. Loads of fun to drive, great handling, and with a peppy little engine that enjoyed being thrashed. The switchgear, however, was a bit marginal.

Met him in an Airport lounge in Madrid in the late 90s. A tiny man in stature. He had with him a very large man carrying his bags - his valet I think, who looked very much like Lurch.

I have not been misled at all by Meta. I know damn well they make zero effort to combat scam advertisements. They give not one fuck about anything but money. They prioritise revenue over absolutely everything else - including ethics, mental health, the environment, and even humanity.

So you never got to show her your warp drive, and you missed out on messing with her flux capacitor.

Unfortunately many do use it but without proper consideration about the consequences.

I was fortunate enough to see Cedric Myton on stage with Prince Far I, live in London in 1981. Oh what a night.

Gave up wearing them. Got some proper hats instead…

I know a guy who rode one around the world to celebrate his 80th birthday. He did it the hard way, genuinely solo and via many dirt road sections. An incredible feat that makes Boorman & McGregor’s ‘long way around’ stuff with their adventure bikes and support vehicles look rather tame.

I worked as a despatch rider in the 80s and our controller owned an R5 Turbo.
But he hadn’t had it long when he blew the turbo on the A3.
He was obviously an archetypal 1980s turbo-nutter-bastard because a week later he had replaced it with a Toyota Supra 3.0 Turbo.

Your wife, meanwhile, gets her fillings when she opens wide and says ahh for her personal trainer.

I remember when this LP was released. We played it over and over. And then played it again.

Agree. Two roofers, both under 40, were giving me a quote recently. Every second sentence was racist. “You’d get planning permission for anything if you were Asian”, “Foreign builders always do a bad job”, “We prefer cash because all our taxes just go on luxuries for small boat people” etc etc.

It would literally be cheaper to buy new sheets each time you shag. However, I suspect she actually has a hotel sex fetish - maybe it reminds her of her clandestine meets with her lover(s) and the clean sheets thing is just a ruse. 👀🤔

The Ten Kate CBR600 was a beast. I witnessed them testing their engines on a dyno at their workshop in Holland when I was their WSS/WSB press writer - I had to sign an NDA agreeing to keep mum about the horsepower readings I saw that day 👀

Shaivites might argue the point about the best weed. They have some rather good music too. And dreadlocks.

Earplugs are the answer - they used to roost near my mooring. They are indeed loud. Earplugs really helped.

Yes, if your hip flexors are restricted then you probably are best using a more traditional Mike Hailwood type style. The modern style is very physical, a few laps hanging off the seat and clinging on by the crook of the opposite knee can be very taxing.

But yes, knee down doesn’t always mean faster - at least not until you’re leaned over so far there’s nowhere else for your knee to go but down 😬

What about your personal geometry do you think is stopping you? You should be able to do it at relatively modest angles of lean.
A track isn’t really the best place to debut the move - a constant radius roundabout is much better, so long as it’s quiet with no traffic or coppers around 😉

Knee down is an addictive feeling. I once ran a riding school where I helped riders get their knee down. It’s one of those things, a bit like swimming, that seems hard to do until you’ve done it - and then you can always do it.

I wonder if there are any copies of the UK pressed single in the wild. I’m guessing if there are then they command a King’s Ransom when sold.
