I used to live a couple of villages along from Puckeridge and used to attend the motard meets. Who was it had the CR500?

Whatever happened to Mr Soap?

I remember telling someone IRL I'd bet them a soapy tenner and them looking at me like I was nuts.

I was on VD, I must have joined in 2003 because I remember where I was based at the time and joining using the computers where you used to put £1 in and it gave you a certain amount of time, IIRC thirty minutes of ridiculously slow internet speeds.

Wasn't there a young lad who stuck a CR500,or KX500 in a 125 frame? I think he was killed on it later.

SM Spike, and it was a 50 frame. EVERYBODY told him it was a bad idea.
There's pushing the envelope, and then rank stupidity. Sadly cost him dearly.

I was thinking about Supermotospike earlier. Someone mentioned Storm, I think he was a Guardsman, killed on Chelsea Bridge Road. There was Jim in Hong Kong, he was a proper character. There's been a few others.

So I renamed him to wind him up :obscene-birdiedoublered:
