When I grow up I will never wear anything other than a velvet smoking jacket and a fez. I will also smoke cigarilles, spill ashes on my smooth jazz records that I constantly spinn.
when I grow up, I will never wear anything other than Spielhosen made of pink artificial longwool, driving my Guzzi
@Zen Mod "Spielhosen"... I had to look that up. OMG. The thought... and you don't "drive" a motorcycle... you ride it, but being Italian, It'll be most likely you'll be pushing it. Regardless, the thought of a grown man wearing a pink "spielhosen" pushing an Italian motorcycle is.....
@Cal Weldon Forget it, you live in Canada. You will have to wear something or you'll freeze to death.
I work from home... so I wear my PJs most of the day... actually, all of the day. Music sounds better when you wear a white T-shirt and classy boxer shorts.
Sometimes. like today, when it's 68F outside and the 72F inside feels freezing, I put on some sweat pants. I got a nice collection... Bob Square Pants, Santa Claus and so on...

moot point, expecting anything of common from ZM
ZM is Omni, doing whatever he wants; I'm going to fly my Guzzi, if I want
and Guzzi is ZM's, all wires are ZM's, so good ........... we know that with proper 'Talian bikes***, everything else is perfect, except wires
***Forgot fancy Ducati, these are for Weaklingsessssss
speaking of bikes - lucky Yanks, having Indian and Polaris; that other factory making V twins, didn't made proper one from year 1965
That is of course IF either of you ever do grow up.
Me? A perpetual youth at 82!

Honda.
Once, I was able to sit down on an RC45 (an actual MotoGP race bike!!). As I swung the bike between my legs it was amazing how low the CG was and how light it felt. Unfortunately, they didn't hand me the keys to it. After that, I stopped wanting my own Goof... or VFR... I knew I had been spoiled by those two minutes.
Everything else is a excuse to push an overweight, overdesigned thing around.
Just look at it... everything is made to go FAST... and slow down FAST... to be pushed by nothing, neither man nor machine!
OK, the triple Kawasaki was interesting.
Besides, ZM on a Gucci would soon become a sausage (OK, a Ducatti, they're all the same to me.... Italian bikes... Once you've lived with an Alfa Romeo, you look at a reliable 72 Grand Torino with mag wheels with new found respect ).

Well I am old but still haven’t grown up so I’m still in my silly flanell cotton shirt listening to old Donovan albums (NOS ZM, excellent pressings). On an mm cart thereabove. I really need to shape up!
Btw come back when you have scratched your pegs after a few laps on IoM TT or the Ulster GP boyz. Been there done that.

Trout fishing doesn't start here until 1st March (I think). They don't interest me too much....SEA trout (your River Em) is another matter.
My main quarry was salmon - but they are heading toward extinction. Have not fished more than a few one hour times since my bypass surgery. Now my balance is too bad to wade in strong water.
I see that our mutual friend is loosing it: he doesn't realise that motorbiking in the clouds is an awful waste of his 'amazing' powers!

Yep. Youth is wasted on the young. But Buddha is wise, I’m sure he’ll put him back in the old saddle
ZM.. in his own mind and how we see him.. ( the funny thing is that the old hippy on the Vespa picture is from his whereabouts... ).

ZM is a demigod. Usually spends his time meditating over human stupidity on a pole. He is untouchable.
Let’s close the evening with a talanted guy that didn’t catch all that endorsements

Let's go for the low hanging fruit, and just pray to our favorite gods, that Cal doesn't grow up.
Growing up is overrated anyway.
