Greetings to you all.  Last week I took a comment about copy write , I was not happy about this, as 99% of the images are sent to me, plus I get a lot from various sites that give me absolutely no information about the photographer, the people, or indeed any content apart from the image, which makes it very difficult to apportion credit where credit is due.

 Well this guy got me at a particularly low moment, and I sat there thinking " why do I even bother". If it's not people like this, it's Moto Guzzi people whinging about having Ducatis on the blog, or Ducati people whinging about having Moto Guzzis or other brands being posted to their facebook pages. I even had one guy who got stuck into me about having Jap Crap on the blog, so when I check his page, all he had was a VFR1000 and an old jap import Datsun, or Toyota, fuck knows what it was but Japanese. I couldn't figure that one out. So at the present I am pretty pissed off with the small minded attitudes of some, who obviously have nothing better to do, but to wring their hands, and have a little gripe about something, anything. I even got taken to task about too many fucking hipsters ( his words not mine). It seems to me that this particular section of motorcycling lifestyles is very much alive and well with customising motorcycles and I applaud them for that. Jesus, really too many Hipsters? . I don't need to be sitting here late at night defending myself. 

I'm reminded of the time when I was sitting in Venice, my VW Kombi had a flat battery and this little Napoleon Bonaparte type cop in riding pants, tall black boots, covered in badges and gold braided pipettes  came up to me and started having a go at me. All in Italian. After about 5 minutes of that I lost my cool and said to him " Fuck You". he puffed himself right up and said back to me in perfect English " Fuck me.....no fuck you". I was arrested and marched of to a cell and was given a fine of 12000 lira. I was laughing the entire time.Well that's kind of how I feel about these whingers that have noting better to do.

It's so fucking hard to be nice to these people, when all I am doing is spreading the joys of our sport, our lifestyles and the things we all love. So please enjoy ( those that have the capacity to anyway).

Now I like the hipster style, but you guys have to wear socks. C'mon I mean really?

My old Le man 3 when it was being painted

Shit!!!!!!!

An Indian handling test by the looks of it, haha, just joking

That definitely wont buff out. Zarcho's Ducati after the Austrian MotoGP

I'm still looking for one

Even after taking his hands off of the bars he still out accelerated Rossi

have to say the KTM is a damned attractive motorcycle

It takes a lot of time and some money to get the exact correct decals for the restorations

Love the color of the sportster

 

OIl rigs that power themselves

A view I have had the pleasure of looking at for several thousands of K's

This is what happens when you have no brakes and have to jump off at 200kph

Saw one of these for sale the other day for $1000.00, what a bargain, this is what you can do, build your own little special.

We do this in New Zealand, it's called fun.

Rally in the old days was a bit fraught.

A view I know ohhh so well

Now this is a truck. I love it

What a pretty Guzzi, well done that man

Hmmm still not sure, I know they go like a cut cat off of the line but ,,,,you know what i mean

Love these machines, if you've never had the opportunity to ride an older two stroke try and give it a go.

I'm nearly over it as well. See you all next week, maybe?

OK, that's really it for this week, I hope you've all enjoyed this.
