The chap who ran the corner shop where I lived in 1970/71 bought himself one of these. His car was much nicer than he was, an utterly odious man. He never smiled and treated customers with contempt - and his prices were outrageous. No wonder my mother preferred shopping at the supermarket in town.

I have to throw this old stuff away. Ditto my clippings archive. It’s tough because that was undoubtedly the best part of my very varied career. When I left my last job, at a place that can’t be mentioned in case they send me another cease and desist, I binned/deleted everything immediately.

Discovered a box full of notebooks from my WSB race reporting days. Any secrets I may have (ineligibly) written in them back then are safe for ever.

More accurately, two real racers and one cafe racer. You’re not going to be racing your mates from one coffee shop to another on a bike without lights.

Real dicks can be used for taking a piss, rather than for taking THE piss - like the dicks doing this shit.

And you simply attach the very short adaptor to the headphone cable resulting in a cable that’s very slightly longer. The adaptor stays snapped into the headphone cable so the only way you’ll lose it is if you lose your headphones.

I’ve tried that method with off centre single but sadly I’m hopeless at it and they usually end up playing even more out of whack.

A friend bought the 250 Dream the first week they were released. We rode to London to a motorcycle show and it attracted big crowd of curious bikers. Then flatly refused to start. A few weeks later it blew its head gasket! Honda’s reputation for reliability at the time was previously unquestioned.

He was very mechanically unsympathetic. He literally didn’t own a single motorcycle that he didn’t manage to break somehow. Often through stupidity - like not keeping the oil topped up. He even broke his BMW R65LS airhead, but that was by driving it into a ditch 😂

Actually a could have been the mains. I just know the crank went on my brothers and possibly I’d assumed it was the mains. This was one of the few occasions when it wasn’t me fixing his broken motorcycles 😆
