    There's nothing much more crap than a Honda 4. I'm just saying. . .


    Well maybe those CZ parts I helped move out of the Good Lords residence. I assumed at the time they were a communist plot to sink the free world by shipping all the pig iron to us.

    But have you ever tried lifting a 750/4? What a POS dead weight.

    No offence.


    To any Honda lovin homos.

    I'm just saying
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Painting the fuel tank red, fitting four open pipes and calling it a classic racing bike; I hear you Dave.

    I'll just claim RS125 parts are made by HRC not the *onda company.

    Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!

    Apparently, those funny people who race vehicles with TWO pairs of wheels are using lots of Docol tubing (and sheet), said to have the "advantages" of chrome-moly* but much easier to use. Just wondered if it had made any inroads into motorbikes. I have heard there are BMX frames made from it.

    Things have been quiet here for a month and a half, so this is my chance to show the recently-discovered nightmare of the month: Gianni Pellegrino's concours-winning Ducati Monster (never has a designation been more apt).
    It has everything you could wish for: no front suspension, no rear suspension, a non-steering engine-driven front wheel (note the chain) which makes anti-wheelie control superfluous, and a feet-steered rear wheel with no less than four confidence-building steering dampers and twin brake disks (very useful in case of a stoppie).

    Oh, no, wait maybe they were aiming to take the piss and build something stupid to get attention.

    What amazes me most is that this 'thing' not only got attention; it won a concours! Makes me wonder about the creations that came second and third. And about the jury. They must have been smoking some really good stuff.
