- Wow - It's been a long, long, long, long time since I saw JOHN KOCHINSKI mentioned anywhere ! I even had to go check-up the correct spelling on his name, as I wasn't sure "how" to spell it, myself. I believe the way you've typed-it, is the correct pronounciation, but not the right...

Cheers F.C Am using Firefox mostly (with 'Opera' as a back-up) Have noticed that Firefox & Google maps are like Priests & Orgygoers - Tech NOT compatible. But then you know what some priests & church-ministers are like...... (Jimmy Swaggart anyone?) Am out down the Pub shortly (sans bike...

- Earlier today I hit the 'block push notifications' tab as it kept cropping-up, thinking I wouldn't miss it Some hours later, I go back into 'my preferences' page & try to change it back - to "re-enable it" Trouble is now, it won't LET ME reverse it, even if I wanted to, no-matter how hard...

- Hi Peachy - I was going to attach them to the other thread ('Boss Equipe') that you spoke to me on, like you asked. But then I figured "Hot Damn" (Americanism !) - Might as well open a thread on it, itself. After all, it does deserve "it's own". I'll do that sometime in the forthcoming...

Having picked-up that Claud Butler MTB yesterday, I fixed it up today & went out on a test-ride. Perhaps ironic, but my route took me past "The Three Horseshoes" Pub again - which I remarked about, above ( x 16 bikes ) Today, an absolutely STUNNING "E-Type Jag" outside, in very, very 'pale...

I've driven to Essex today, to pick-up a rather nice Claud Butler MTB that I've won on E-bay - (for just a mere £37, laughably) Basically, it been a very, very long drive, back into my old 'hunting-grounds' (Essex) & was def' worthwhile. Passed countless Pubs on the way (& back) - more than I...

To be fair 'T.H.M', - I found it all rather stilted, as it was filmed, segment by segment. The Producer (man) briefed the audience - "When the LAUGH clapperboard comes up, LAUGH exaggeratedly" This didn't go down well with my mid-twenties 'jaded-cynicism' or outlook - About 120 folks in the...

Don't laugh - Back in spring 1988, I went round my "in-laws" for Sunday Roast dinner, only to find..... " ***** (me), we've got FOUR tickets to the BBC TV centre, as audience to go see RUSS ABBOTT's "Christmas Special" being filmed" I'm like - "F.F.S - Ain't much keen on Russ Abbott, don't...

Hmmm, strange similarities there, between us both. My Dad taught me 'how' to record the Audio side/section of "Top of the Pops", from tele' onto my (then 'new') PYE tape-recorder "Caroline" by Status Quo (in 1973), was THE first track that I ever recorded - Funny, as I rather dislike that...

. I've always been into 'Heavy-Rock', 'Hard-Rock' & 'Classic Rock' - (despite my 'love' of ABBA, which I've just posted, in another thread 😖 May come as 'no surprise' that I've always viewed the mighty Dave Grohl as THE musical 'second-coming' - (excuse any blasphemous slant !) That Man...

. Colin Bluntstone, Rod Argent AND 'The Zombies' WERE supposed to be performing "on my block" here, an outdoor-concert Then, that B'strd "Covid.19" appeared and tragically put-paid to THAT idea - I wuz gutted ! They've (of course), since re-scheduled, but my local nearest outdoor venue...

Hi Fromage, I took your sage advice & 'genned-up' on what to buy & as to what I needed, headstock-wise. After some deliberation, I chose to purchase a GOOD strong alloy stem-riser, that went up to 70-degrees - (raise) I deliberated twixt 31.8 & 25.4 & chose the latter - Purely in case...

Yeah, I'd already figured that the Claud Butler ('Criterium'), would be FAR easier to date, rather than the 'Boss Equipe' As of now, am STILL "none the wiser" as to the actual date (manf'tr) of the 'Boss Equipe' - (but obv's now know it's 21st-century & not 1988-1994) The 'Criterium'...

Absolutely & truly amazing, this old dear ! Wasn't till a few moments in that I realised she's playing Left-Handed - (Like mah GOOD self 🥰 🥰 Many thanks indeed for playing this truly magic clip, the like of which, I'd never have known of, otherwise ! Million miles away from Free's "Fire &...

' Hi again Peachy - As you rightfully said mate..... "He'll move it across" (to the '2000ad' onwards forum) and he has. I sincerely posted it within the 1980's-1990's forum, as being a 'newb', I had no-idea of it's true age ! Sounds terrible, me claiming that I wuz 'clueless' (well, at...

Hi Peachy - Yes mate & please accept my apologies for the delay in replying As I noted by the 'blurb' under your Avatar, you're clearly a Claud Butler fan, no ? Due to the (wretched) rough-weather we've had these last few days (Artic), I've been hibernating. Getting over a nasty...

' I think it's best from my perspective "if" I include FOUR of the FIVE bikes (M/cycles) that I currently own. Not that I'm showing-off or anything - Just that, over 42+ years in the hobby, I've bought a few & kept 'em. I tend to buy bikes, get VERY attached to them (or, NOT, in the case of...

' Some really nice bikes on here & it's great to see you guys have a 'dedicated thread' going. I've only ever owned Japanese bikes (M/cycles), but have also ridden/used Brit' & German bikes, too. I'll see if I can rustle-up some pix (photographs), as I still have five bikes - several are late...

Many thanks for your swift reply - Fromage - It's much appreciated ! Gawd, 2010's onwards eh ? My mate Andy (Suffolk), seemed to think it was 1988-1994 ish, due to the (quote/him) "Elderly paintwork styling" 😊 Meantime - Me, I'm clueless - I figured (at best) it would be (say) 1996-1998...

Spoiler Alert Warning - As this is (inadvertantly) a "Necro-Thread" from the year 2009 However, being a "Newb" here, I wanna state - That it's THIS thread that 'drew me to this forum' & caused me to join it (Gulp !) My first bike was a gorgeous little Elswick Hopper - vary smartly appointed...
