Why JL99 should NOT wear the #1 plate in 2013.

The #1 plate is bad. STAY AWAY from the #1 plate ...... unless your name is Mick Doohan (or kinda Valentino Rossi).

1999 Champ Alex Criville. Had the #1 plate, lost it.

2000 Champ Kenny Roberts Jr. Had the #1 plate, lost it.

2006 Champ Nicky Hayden. Had the #1 plate, lost it.

2007 Champ Casey Stoner. Had the #1 plate, lost it.

2010 Champ Jorge Lorenzo. Had the #1 plate, lost it.

2011 Champ Casey Stoner. Had the #1 plate, lost it.

Yes I know that VR46 defended his world titles but my point is he never used the #1 plate.

 He kept running his trade mark #46. 

The last rider to use the #1 plate & keep it was the Legend Mick Doohan. 

5 x World champ. 1994 - 1998.

What a top bloke.....

I have been a fan of John Ryland's work ( http://www.classifiedmoto.com/ Twitter @JohnRyland  ) for the last few years now. I admire how he takes very plain and (almost) boring bikes, rip them to bits and re-invents them into stylish, attractive and simply beautiful machines. 

I was introduced to John by Chris Hunter of http://www.bikeexif.com/  ( Twitter @BikeEXIF ) and have since been a fan not only of John & his team's work on two wheels but also there work on taking old, broken, unloved old bike parts & turning them into feature items for the home:

From disc's & shocks that were left to rust and scrap to this :

If you think the quality of the lamp his good take a look at the bikes .

Even though my main 2 wheeled passion (as I'm sure you all know) is MotoGP, I do like to see people making a difference to the way people see motorcycle's & people like John & Chris are doing this. 

By showing not the normal plastic fantastic or yet another Harley based cruiser, but a whole spectrum of different styles & even types of motorcycle. 

We need people like this.

Well, after bouncing many tweets back and forth with John & doing the pleasure of introducing people to his site & his products, John said he was very great full. I said not to mention it.

Today, Mr Postie knocked on the door ......

Here is Jade in her new CM T-Shirt. Brilliant.

Jade loves her T-Shirt! She says its her new favourite.

So many thanks John, you really are like the title says, A top bloke !

I think I will give the other T - Shirt to my Father who will proudly wear all over France & Europe spreading the name !

Thanks for reading.

Happy New Year Team :

Another year has flown by. 

Some good times, some bad times.

Lets hope 2012 brings us all good health, good fortune & good times.


From myself & Jade : 

Twitter was not my friend for a few hours today.

I hope #TeamStayingIn is having fun tonight. 

A Present, but not on MY Birthday ......

I have know the Twitter user: @Proc1 for a good few years now. I would say about 5 years. Maybe even closer to 6 now. We knew each other before Twitter went mainstream.

Well in all that time we have never meet. We have sent 1000's ( and I do mean 1000's ) of dirty jokes via SMS TXT and email, even he sends Jade Xmas presents, but we never meet face to face.

I do hope to correct this matter in 2012.

Well today, (30th Dec) is Mr @Proc1's Birthday. A very big Happy Birthday from myself & Jade.
30 today I heard!

Well today I got a knocking at the door & a Parcel Force van outside. I thought it must be be for next door as he was out, but the driver asked for me. Result.

So, on Procs Birthday, the man sends me this :

ohhh, this look's good !

I was knocked off my feet! Not only at the gift itself, but when I read the ALC % :

Fifty nine point six % WOW. Rocket fuel !

 

Or in layman's terms: Bloody fantastic !

I was really touched by this present. Proc sent me a few tweets saying he had my address & would send me bottle over for new years. I told him not to be silly & keep the bottle & drink it ....... I'm glad he did not listen!

What a top bloke.

Well, Happy new year Proc Dyanne and Yoshimura. May 2012 bring you all you wish for.

Welcome to my Blog.

Welcome all.

I have not done a Blog before, I have always built my websites from the ground up, but these days, these seem so much quicker.

Please don't expect daily updates, but I will keep it roughly up to date.

Enjoy.
