Stop kidding on, you just want an opinion on your new purchase
Wonder if you can get a tune out of it 🤣

I’ll put my hands up to liking some strange and obscure shite but you wouldn’t get me near that thing. Got to ask why? Like really why? Get it if you’ve been t**tted round the head but really?

Think this one should make the shortlist for “Take His Tools Away”
Criminal doing that to such a nice wee bike.

Seen this before on ebay, fairly recently. Surprised it never sold !! Listed as Staines, but having done 31 years in the Fire service in Staines, and having a hunch regards his location, he is in fact in Stanwell, which is where my Fire Station was. Stanwell is right next to Heathrow, and you can regularly smell the aviation fuel when the wind is in the right (wrong) direction. It accounts for a lot that goes on in Stanwell, believe me !! Stanwell Village is twinned with West Beirut, and also Mogadishu, so you get the idea Dusty

I like it. I could go out for a ride with the Rotterdam Rollout crew and I would fit right in. They don't like my RD because it is Smokey and smelly.

He has loads of stuff some nice classic bikes as well. He’s obvs a kick boxer come actor I do know a kick boxing member of trumpton that lives Heathrow but it ain’t him. Look at his stuff for sale.

Yes I live there and it's twinned with Beirut, the avgas can be a problem but since Covid it's been amazing. However it has a reputation and not just for f**king up a 400/4 either. Been broken into 3 times, I car totalled whilst it was parked outside one evening, others broken into and my only ever new anything, Aprilia RS250, was nicked from my VERY locked garage after 5 days.

We had the Old Bill doing surveillance on a house in Stanwell. They used our smoke chamber in the station yard as a base for their monitors. They ran a cable 2 miles !! yes, 2 miles into Stanwell to a hidden camera ! I've got sooo many stories about Stanwell from the years I was stationed there, I could fill a book ! They moved a lot of families out of the east end of London after the blitz, and they settled in Stanwell , and the village grew from there. There are some right nutters in Stanwell Dusty

On a plus note I only seem to use this place to sleep in. Spend most of my time in Shepperton, and that's divine. Nice folks, the Thames a stroll away. Love it there.

That’s a proper Japanese custom.

I really would love to own either. It would be fun pulling up to a bike shop or a meeting place for bikers just to see their reactions.
