Originally posted by RadarSid has offered me a project LC and I am toyong with the idea of buying it. Would be a great project. But I have something else in mind…not a Yamaha. Shock, horror, scandal!
Message to Imperial Data……I reckon someone has hacked into Radars account…..[:p]The REAL Radar would NEVER stear away from Yamahas[:p] But, if this is true I also reckon the News of the World would be very interested in the story.

An LC in need of plenty of fettling .
I took it to the Blacksmith and said I wanted it stretched like those Yankee sports bikes. Just look what the idiot did! Trucking Hell.

Originally posted by RadarI will Ses, but I do already have a new machine in mind…
And would that be yet another Yamaha by any chance? And the model being one of those starting with the letter R and ending with the number 1?
Passed mine in 1972. Ride round the block three times with the tester at the roadside watching you 1. Ride past and negotiate a right hand junction observing from behind. 2. Approach a crossroads and turn right observing from the front. 3. Same as 2 but after the turn observer stepping off the path into the road with arm up and palm facing to do the emergency stop. 4. Then do a longer circuit back to the test centre to give the tester time to walk back the 250 yards. Then 6 questions on the Highway Code. Oh, that was the 2nd test I took, as on the 1st one I ran into the tester on the emergency stop due to severe camber on the road and hopeless brakes on my Lambretta (dammit I didnt mean to let on about the scooter). Oh and that was for a fee of £3.60

The Driving Standards Agency said: “Unfortunately accidents do happen on all categories of test and it was precisely for this reason that we opted to carry out these new motorcycle manoeuvres off road.Is that so that the accidents can take place away from roads then?

The areas used for the manoeuvres have been tested thoroughly in both wet and dry conditions and provide a safe environment for the candidate.Safe environment? Not safe enough it would appear.
Know what you mean, I find that the Met Office site changes their forecasting tune very very frequently and tend to err on the damper side of reality, quite often I’ve missed out on a trip out cos they say its wet only to find its been OK, and when I think I’m going regardless of the wet forecast its turned out to be fine.

Anyway I wouldn’t want to show everybody up obviously…[:p]Thats obvious[:p], [:o)]I would have said exactly the same about me[:o)]
It certainly was dramatic, reminded me of some of Foggies World Superbike battles. Also the end of the 125 race had high drama when Simon punched the air in victory not realising there was still one more lap to go. He was extremely lucky to grab back that fourth place. And what about Stoner after the race he was absolutly shattered.
