"i DONT THINK STEVE WILL BE WRITING MUCH ON THIS FORUM AGAIN SINCE HE BECAME 1/2 A FOOT SHORTER."

I apologize for my ignorance but to what does that statement refer?
 
I believe that he is referring to the accident that Hobo"T" had when a Deer ran out in front of him and he creamed it. It broke his neck if I remember correctly. He'd been doing physical therapy, but may have had to have an operation. Also I think that when his riding buddy Wes, passed away suddenly, it had an impact on his spirit and could be that the fun has faded from all of this for him. Cj…..I for one, definitely miss his unique perspective on things.
 
Ah, OK, I somehow missed that; sorry to hear about it. :(

Yes, Hobot definitely had "unique perspective" (and writing style)! :)
 
Poor fella had a lot of shit going on that culminated in having an accident with a power cutter hacking back some foliage.
 
I was visiting my local watering hole one night and a rather large woman approached and told me how much she loved motorcycles. Then she asked if she was too fat to ride as passenger on my Norton. I was a gentleman... I lied.
 
In 1980 (I’d be 12) my Dad bought me a ‘59 Tiger Cub in an attempt to keep me off of street corners and out of trouble, which to be fair, more or less succeeded (and I still have the Cub).

Anyway, I’m riding it around the back garden one day when the woman next door shouts over the fence to my Dad:
“Are you going to take me out for a ride on that motorbike then”

To which, my Dad in glorious ‘none PC’ North Notts / South Yorkshire accent replied:
“It’s a motorbike... not a chuffing tractor”!

I nearly fell off laughing...!

What did you say? 'Sorry it's not my bike?'
 
My Norton does get periodic attention from the ladies however I am of the age where I have become invisible.
Not all bad, you can ogle the hotties all day long and they think you are cute.
 
Speaking of "Hotties"... I was in Rio some years back for a meeting so took some time afterward on my own to visit the famous beaches with all the hot women (and men) that are in the Rio beach pics. What I found was that on the beach with probably 1000 people I could see, there might have been 10 that could have been in those pics! The majority were people like me where onlookers would likely think "You should put more clothes on." :)

Anything like this?

The couple were in Stanley Park with a wedding photog team as I rode up on my bike. They seemed interested in my bike and I let them pose on it.
What struck me as very odd, the groom was only one saying anything in English and I felt he seemed nervous. Made me think this was some kind of staged situation for bride's immigration status.

I heard he had his right foot severed at the ankle. In typical Hobot fashion, he worked up a prosthetic to allow him to kick over the Nortons.

Slick

She would have stressed the Norton's seating similarly. The lady was cute but large. I told her I was a bit too tipsy to attempt taking an inexperienced passenger that night (which wasn't a lie).

Amen.
Every beach I have ever been on, nude, topless, or in between, no matter where in the world, as you said, 90% of those sporting the skimpy swimwear, or lack thereof, actually need to do everyone a favor and go put their clothes back on.

The above photo of the newly weds once again reinforces my stance on riding with the single passenger Corbin seat.

"Sorry, its set up for one rider only". ;)

My original two person seat is stored away nicely in the shop.

I was gassing up mt BSA one afternoon when a hot little 20 something at the next pump commented on my "cool vintage" bike and leather jacket. I don't remember either of them being "vintage" when I bought them, so what does that make me? :confused:

I had a somewhat similar experience @40 years ago in Chester. I was on my 72 Combat, with my mate on pillion (remember that ?) and the bike
was parked up by the river (Bike was scruffy and used in all weathers) anyway , this guy comes over and says he's doing a photo shoot with some models and asks could he take some of them on my bike. Of course I let it happen, most of the girls were real dolls, and wouldn't have looked sideways at me normally.
 
Back in the late 1970's I went on a holliday trip to the( then communist) eastern Europe on the Commando.
Few people over there had ever seen a superbike from the first world, as everybody over there rode Jawa's an MZ's and the likes.
East German, and Hungarian girls stood literally in line to have a ride on the back of the Norton. fun days...
