Post by: Johnny Mac on August 21, 2006, 02:28:58 PM: I'm off in hour or so. I'm feeling kinda cool but it's going to be a big task.

I had a few hours of tence searching for the elusive passport yesterday afternoon, about 5 to be exact! I put it in a 'safe' place when I moved here last May.

Be good and sorry if I got in your face about exams and stuff, but it's only cos' I care! :D

I had a good blast this morning on my Charvel and Strat, god I love em'!

Yep it's all true. We got stopped 5 times in a few hours. There was a mandatory 130 euro fine. For riding on an autobahn fast in a no speed limit stretch. Work that one out! I had my photo taken with a coppers hat on! :lol:

Most took it well with a pinch of salt. The boys out of their depth whinged like c*nts.

Post by: Fubar on September 04, 2006, 10:19:10 PM: How is that possible? I guess they could claim that they were driving dangerously or without due care and attention or somesuch :roll:

The other thing is that they can just impound your bike if you really try to argue with them. It's always nice to get a pic of you taking the piss outta them tho! :lol:

Post by: Johnny Mac on September 05, 2006, 09:50:23 PM: These girls are as mad or worse than the blokes! As soon as my camera came out they were pouting in the lens! I'll post another to show you what I mean.

Thanks for the comments on my pics lads. It means a lot to hear positive stuff. I don't do negative with pics any more! All digital now. :roll: :wink:

There were a lot of middle aged men and a few older. I tell you what though, I'd love to be like them when I go bald! These blokes can f*cking ride. There just like metal head guitar players in lots of ways. It all comes from the same place if you know what I mean.

A~F~G~H~A~N D~A~V~E

Off Topic Afghan! I've found a singer who can play drums and keyboards! His a trucker too, young and built like a brick shitehouse!

A bass player who's tall and built like, yeah you guessed it!

You like the girls Dave, just like the rest of us! So lets stop typing in here and get out there and go f*cking apeshite! I was talking to a Despatch rider mate of mine today, who was in bands for years one with Brian Robertson of Thin Lizzy!

Conections connections.......................... :wink:
