Do you compete at all? That's big self propelled mileage!

Basically the newer and lighter bike as you can afford without going mental on the cash.

Anything with an engine (repairing, modifying, using, enjoying) current list of toys is:
3 Quads
2 Jetskiis (1 stand up and 1 sit down circuit racer)
4 cars
3 tractors
6 bikes (Ducati S4 Monster, Kawasaki "Street", Suzuki Enduro, GasGas trials, a 1976 Honda and a 125cc dirt).
I'm lucky enough to have plenty of spare time (and the space) to enjoy these with my family.

I went to the local model shop yesterday for some inspiration, I was left without any. Didn't see anything that grabbed my attention.

Very poor selection in airfix models and 00 guage railways. I'm not very good at buying things online, I like to visually see and touch things before i purcahse.

I love them stereotyped Yankee cops. There's a good one in the Moore (fav 007) Bond films too.

Everything was cheaper online too because of the lack of overheads.

Art, art and art; the innate and the personal one. It absorbs me, it takes me away from all the usual rat race-ish stuff, and it pleases me no end.

That's the guy. The best bit is when he's telling his buddies that his brother in law is coming down the river and up pops the black guy who stole his boat. Iirc he was in another film in a car chase with Bond. Golden age of Bond when they were worth watching
