Part time model, part time enforcer. Semi professional gigolo?

I didn't go to sixth form, I did a YTS. To get there I had a GP100, when that was stolen a KC100 and when that was stolen a NS125R.
Working in a village shop and then as a motorbike courier sadly.


And look at you now, shitting the clever IT money and motorhomes and Mercs and Maseratis. And me ending up as a form filler in and checker, running round in an old VW.
His success mocks your failure...
Everyone's does when you're a small-time form filler inner and checker. :(

My first bike was a Honda C90 in brown. I loved the freedom it gave me. Looked shit though.

You can't actually get a quiet exhaust for one once the OE one rots, I ended up with a Black Widow with the biggest can that would fit on the bike, baffle in and it still sounded like a bloody Manx Norton.

I had a CB125S when I was in sixth form. All style and no substance back then, and now.

A friend's parents when I was a kid had a farm - we used to ride round the yards & fields on his C90 (with no exhaust). Absolutely loved it. His was brown too, eventually.
