Coming over from the UK site for a bit !! My posts are too boring old-timer!
« on: November 12, 2014, 10:08:34 pm »
Hi,
Started on here in 2008 when I bought my 10/69 UK diecast CB750. Great help from you guys on here. When I started  out I looked at old-timer members old posts like Hondaman and many others and Wow was that a mine of info on my bikes.

Been a bit prolific just recently with my postings on the sohc.co.uk site and boring a minority number of members with my old-timer postings so coming onto here for a bit to hide out. So hope I don't bore you on here too much. If I do just PM me and I will 'Shut my Trap' as we say in Yorkshire (UK).

I started a feature on the UK site asking questions to David Silver of DSS spares and reporting back on the site with answers. I  gather a number of questions/problems etc. to ask David all at the same time via myself. He usually answers in double quick time with informative, honest and frank answers.  For example I asked him about supply problems with 400/4 exhausts and he then got Ian from MotadUK to join us and answer all of our questions because Motad make the system for him. If anyone is interested in me doing this on here just ask.

Here are some recent 'boring' links:

ENJOY ..if you have not seen before ! ... Cheers ...AshD (UK)

BTW if anyone needs Yamiya/PMC Japan bits in Europe and doesn't want pay import duty/high shipping try these people (sponsor on UK site run by a nice bloke called David). http://www.saisei-europe.com/Shop/Products/SearchValue/CB750

Watch out for the Honda's in these .. Blink and you will miss the Gold CB750 Pre-Production 'Brighton' bike in the 1969 clip!) ...the only sandcast CB750 to be officially sold in the UK.

Good morning Ash.  Those who complain about other being boring are usually boring themselves and choose to simply project their insecurity on others. 

If you still feel the need to spice things up add an English slag word of the day to end of every post.  I for one have no idea what English people are saying when I watch a movie from the UK or BBC.

Brilliant warm welcome back guys. It's not that I ever went away really, as I always visit here  regularly but not so many posts over the last year or two. Going to miss all of the guys on the UK site but coming back on there in the New Year more focused on my posts and less banter. SteveD who runs it is a great guy and Bryan on there is a wealth of knowledge our UK 'Hondaman' really.

Cheers ... Ash

Great stuff Pete  .. It's great on here we don't get ribbed because we have a 750K0 or people asking us to give them enough parts for free to build a complete bike !

Hmm  Can't understand that Bodi and they always welcome guys from here so don't be shy. I am sure SteveD / Bryan reads this site so should be able to help. If not I am sure  Glenn may be able to help out.

Cheers ...Ash
