    I know what you mean.

    When I was repping I'd have the radio on in the car and it was the same....

    Got to be that you almost knew what song was going to come on at a particular time.

    After I'd been through most channels ( well ones I could stand anyway ) I went to talkback,it was ok for a bit but soon turned to the soft and pungent!

    That was some years ago and to this day the radio in the car doesn't get turned on, well maybe for a few minutes for a traffic report if it ( traffic ) grinds to a halt.

    Cheers

    Ha ha, speaking of Nayook and Noojee!

    The planets have aligned and me and ole mate Dave are off on a wee jaunt to the high country again in about an hour or so and will be heading through here on our way out! Of course, after great weather the last 2 weeks it decides yesterday to turn to SHIT.

    It's been about 2 years since we got away and in fact the last time ( Xmas hols in Jan.) the planets aligned for a day out on the bikes ( and it takes a planetary alignment for such these days) the bloody breather hose called it quits and put paid to that idea...so heres hoping no such bs this time. 

    Cheers Guzzler.

    Ps not to mozz it, but it's looking likely to happen now!

    Woohoo bikes got new shoes and Tank bags packed and ready so I'd best get togged up myself.

    G'day.

    I also had a mate with one and got to ride it back in the 80's.

    His one is still going strong too I believe.

    Mate there is a thriving owners club here in Oz but also very active clubs for them overseas so maybe contact them for advice.

    From what I know they are or can be EXPENSIVE to restore and like anything have their foibles so maybe specialised advice may save you $ ??

    Try CBX world and ICOA both seem USA centric?

    Cheers

    I just had a wee look but not enough time to watch all of it...

    Think you might be right about the public school twat ha ha .

    Anyways I don't think they ( Norton ) got it right with the standard Commando,To me the pipes are wrong and the tail lights embedded in the rear cowling look ah crap.

    Having said this, I think they got it absolutely spot on with the Dominator version, but this was under the previous management. (or lack thereof).

    That version is one of the best looking bikes I've seen.

    Cheers 

    Ps I also prefer v twins though.

    The Greenie's booked in for a new set of shoes on Friday!

    Went with another pair of Angel GT 2's as this set has seen it all (apart from snow and Ice) in the 18K and never once did they misbehave.

    This also includes 10k of usage before the suspension was sorted and serviced so I'm bloody impressed.

    Cheers

    Ps can't wait!

    Ha ha 

    I'm just about to replace mine this week hopefully.

    The current Pirelli Angel GT 2's have 18,500 kays on them and still handle ok.....

    My last ride to the office was cold and very very wet and still no slips slides etc and my ride home on the fun twisty bits were also wet and still no moments but I reckon they'll go downhill quickly from here!

    Bloody phenomenal really and will look to put another pair of these on!

    Cheers

    Ps I also run a 160/60 on the rear
