Great meeting another club member

[guest7]

Billy B came down from Scotland yesterday to pick up the 650 motor that I was selling. It was really nice meeting him and his partner Lorraine and I enjoyed a very pleasant evening in the local hostelries with them.

I've met some fantastic people through this club

No, it was my original 650 that had been XBR-ised (XBR primary gearing and electrics fitted)

And yes I have met some nice people through the club, like yourself Pat (and some tosspots too  )

Strange seeing as you are the shortest here.

"no club member should be offended if they aren't mentioned"

It must have something to do with the bike, it couldn't be personal..........could it?

It's true, one meets a better class of nutter on this forum ;-))

Aha - quantity and quality.
