I've not really read this thread....till today.
Tell 'em to feck off. If they don't like your choice in jackets they ain't worth knowing in the first place. Nowt really wrong with it.
Go to the TOMCC event, yes you may be the youngest one there (I normally am) and yet I've never had a bad time with any of em. At Mallory weekend before, I saw one of the Brum and Wolves guys who I see once a year at our local rally, but I can never remember his name, he always remembers mine. Always says hello.
My fav pub in Bristol is a pub where a club meets - I was going in there before the club started going there. I don't tend to take my lid in there when I know they are going to be in there (it's oppostite work so I leave it in it's little locker), as they still treat there women with contempt (i've never seen one with a patch on their back, just a little patch on the front).
I'm quite happy with the meet up's we have on here - ok sometimes wish we had a few more... - and it's great on here for the tech stuff and the worldwide banter.
Stay lone......except for with us of course!!!
