Rash ebay purchases

I keep being drawn to non-mainstream bikes, would it be really silly to
wander along to have a look at this?

Well, he claims it's black and gold, but I'll acknowledge that it
appears to have a bit of a beige tinge in the photographs.

Culturally speaking, 1981 is still part of the 70s.

It's still brown. There is no excuse for that.

Well if you didn't like riding it, you could always rent the space behind
the fairing to a family of asylum seekers.

I was in Portimao[1] a couple of weeks ago, and in one bike bay, there
were 4 bikes, all near-identical Blaney-Brown CBR600s. Which was odd,
not least because AFAICS, only a very small percentage of bikes in The
Algarve are sportsbikes.

[1] no, I didn't see Maddy.

There are bloody signs up in petrol stations in *Sutton*, asking Have
You Seen Madeleine. FFS.

Talking to some Brits here in Rhodes last night - they come from our
neck of the woods. And they trumped that. Someone lost a tortoise, and
local shops and lampposts had a blurred snap of it.

"Have you seen this tortoise?"

Lovely.

"Yes, but it was too quick for me...."

Googling on Laverda and Bayflex throws up some references. On
reflection, I'm thinking now it must have been a colour-impregnated
plastic.

Made by Bayer,apparently.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember

I recall being mightily impressed by the flexing qualities of
International yacht paint at least 30 years ago. You could take a mature
sliver of it and bend it almost back on itself.
