He can't be as annoying as my old dog! Cairn Terrier crossed with a Jack Russell. Loved him to bits, but good god he would never stay still or shut up! Even when he was 15 and had arthritis and all. Until he got the tumour in his spine, then he just didn't move at all :(

Say what you want, you know you love your dog :wink: :lol:
I love mine. It was our first kid.. :lol: we loved him so much that we gave him away because we moved to a no pet alowed apartment. . A year later I get a call from the dog pound.. "hey we have your dog, hes been here over 3 weeks you need to pick him up or we have to put him to sleep" (we had him chipped.. and it still had my info )we dropped everything and drove an hour, as he was on a diff city.. paid for vaccinations and his 3 week stay... felt bad for giving him up. Its been 2 years now... kids and wife love the dog but some times I wish I could kick hin in the nutz.. :lol:

reckon that's the downside of nuts, whether a dog or a chap, easy target for the wife's foot! Reminds me of billy horrocks and his wheelbarrow. Oh, does the hijack rule still apply?

I have taken the cover off my bike today and promised it a long and happy future with me :D

What sort of question is that. Anyway, seeing as you asked, but I think about a good half inch shorter, only on the assumption that like the rest of your bod sags a bit with age it must do to. Maybe Kev can shed some light.......

btw - is a trip to Virtland planned when you are able to ride the steed??

Umm.. Okay, tasty? :lol: :lol:
How nice of you to share.

A trip to virtland doesn't require the steed as I live in Virtland :wink: unless you are referring to other people coming over?

well, a kind of lining you up at the roadside and smashing a beer bottle over your head to launch you might be a laugh

If anyone is off on the 11th November and fancies a ride they're more than welcome to join me :lol: :thumbup:
Although I haven't decided on a route yet, I want to do as many types as possible and see how the storm holds up on motorways and everything

That engine looks nice and clean Lloydie :thumbup:

Tru Dat I can see the garage floor now :lol:

I'm gonna do the street fighter casings & rockers with PJ1 fast gloss black, it's a spray epoxy paint that is pretty tough and heat resistant on casings etc
