Oh dear.

Sadly, there is a very small TV audience already, so they can forget the long hoped for 'deal' now. Rugby is a participation sport for many thousands of minis and juniors, with the huge majority of them dropping out just after their bollocks drop. Having no pathway to the top certainly isn't...

At least football keeps a clear and open pathway from top to bottom Dave.

Ha ha. About as subtle as a sledgehammer across the back of the head. Used to love seeing Roger (Windy Corner) Winterburn wringing their necks. Brave man!

Fnnrrrr. I always, always lusted over a Jota. Lucky, lucky bastard!

Everything the RFU does adversely affects Cov. Not new.

The 400s were rarer than the 250s as the latter were bought in numbers as a learner bike (at least pre-83 when the law changed to permit 125cc max). They were pretty hateful tbh. Poorly designed and noisy top end too. Even after having the cams reprofiled it rattled. Sold it and bought an old...

I was never a great Honda fan, though I did have a very pretty CB550F2, and a less pretty CB750K7 (the last version of the original sohc4). I also had a CB400N Superdream twin for a very short while, but the less said about that the better.

My first non-learner was a '73 Yam RD350 bought new from Beauchamp Motors in Leam. Went like a scalded cat, but still tractable for two-up camping touring, which I did a lot of. All the Triumphs I owned, a 350 Twenty One, a 500 Tiger 100, and a 750 T140v Bonnie were all oil-tight, and also never...

Oh well, a screenshot of the vid at least...

Bollocks. It appears not!

Last weekend - hoping this'll work. His missus posted it so I guess it depends if her fb feed is 'open' to all...

Incidentally, a lad that worked for me at Browns Lane about 12 or 13 years ago had a Viper. Bloody thing shook the car park. He's also recently finished a from-scratch build of a 6R4 replica which he has just started hillclimbing. No expense spared on it too, but the first three or four times...

Not my favourite of his. Huge in every way, but just doesn't look right (to my eyes). The Flying Millyard is a fairly incredible piece of engineering though, but just looks unwieldy - if brilliant. However, I just love his reworks of Z1s and so on. Perfect-looking bikes in their day (even though...

The six was something else. Have you seen Allen Millyard's hand-built tribute? Stunning. What that boy can do with a hacksaw and welding kit is verging on sorcery.

Not where I thought then. Yes, I loved the rear door handle treatment. I've no idea why it's not a common thing now on four-door sedans. Shame.

The 156 was such a pretty car. A classic in my eyes. Where was it parked up? Looks familiar.

Not to my knowledge. They were getting steadily less competitive against (in particular) the Suzuki RG500, and the Yamaha, until in about '75 or so they didn't stand a chance against the strokers and it all came to an end. Shame, as that 'noise' was music to most racegoers ears, and we've not...

Surts was an incredible rider, and I used to absolutely love the sound of the MV4s (and even 3s). Spine-tingling.

I had a Vectra once. Never making that mistake again.
