Zed, is this not the same as the thread you started yesterday and which you later asked me to delete?
Title: Re: Nationality
Post by: zedmeister on December 07, 2012, 07:35:49 PM
Yes it is LW but you deleted both threads of the same when i only wanted the second one taken off that i fkd up, admittedly i did not state this at the time , my mistake again , i thought common sense would prevail but obviously not. Do you not know how to use the PM !!!!!, I would expect better from a moderator than to broadcast members mishaps.

Now please remove this post for good, i feel it will not be good for the forum, thank you.

Oi Bryn! I come from up there. You are clearly wrong - everyone knows the answer is Highfields!

How I miss the place - especially Spinney Hill Park and its occasional green patches! My first bike was an RD125 in 1979 bought from Ray Wilson M/C - I believe they were a Kawasaki dealer as well!

I did end up with a Z250 & Z650 as well- my very first Kawasakis - funny I end up with the big one now eh!

Winny ... Chris B means that he was actually born in Manchester and being RED supports Manchester United Football Club as opposed to BLUE which is Manchester City Football Club ... but more importantly he is from Manchester and not from London, where for some strange reason they have a massive fan base .... :laugh: :laugh:
Hope this helps !!
How is the Vermillion Red going ?
Title: Re: Nationality
Post by: Winston Smith on December 10, 2012, 10:51:05 PM
Ah!

As it was football connected it meant nothing to me.

The Vermillion is still awesome Rusty.  Not one regret (apart from my bank balance!)

Speaking of West Yorkshire, it seems I shall be visiting Bradistan for work next week.
LW, do I need my passport?  :innocent:
Unfortunately I shall be in the car.  :sad:
Title: Re: Nationality
Post by: Lonewolf on December 12, 2012, 12:36:33 PM
Boomer which part of Bradford will you be frequenting? Passports are optional, but if you get stuck I know someone who can get you one at short notice for the right price of course....if you know what I mean!  :whistling:


Basically I would advise that you try to avoid the following areas, BD1, BD2, BD3, BD4, BD5, BD6, BD7, BD8, BD9, BD10, BD11, BD12, BD13, BD14, BD15.....BD16 is ok, avoid BD17-19, BD20 and above is reasonably safe during the day.


Enjoy your visit to Bradford.  :gunsmilie:

Steve, were you at an incident on Mayo Avenue on the approach to the M606 yesterday?
I only ask as on my way out of Bradistan I passed what seemed to be half of West Yorkshire Police Force.  :mfr_lol:
At least 3 cars and a couple of vans.
I didn't wave as I am loathe to wave to strange Policemen.  :nono: :whistling:
Title: Re: Nationality
Post by: Lonewolf on December 21, 2012, 04:01:59 PM
At least three cars and a couple of vans? No that wasn't me, I work over at a different division but I'm off work at the moment on compassionate leave in any case. In reality though three cars and two vans is nothing at a job. Dont forget my postcode warning I provided earlier, Mayo Avenue is in BD5 and therefore on the shitlist.
