No I most certainly haven't got a mid life crisis, I've been riding bikes constantly since i was 17 and started work as a telegram boy, I have never owned a car always had a bike or 2 or sometimes 3 but even I think that's extreme, when the kids were young the wife sold her bike and bought a car, so I had the use of that if they needed picking up, dropping off etc etc. No my mid life crisis came when I separated from the wife and got meself a girl friend lol.

Speaking to my legal team and showing her the picture. Psycho man next door is on a sticky wicket what should happen is the any one else who has had land taken by him should partner up with you and take him to court. Aternativly the advise was F**K him build the wall anyway and let him take you to court.

Looking at the picture (and trust me here I am certainly no legal expert) I can only say is this guy a total knob jockey.

Yep I agree with you on that one Gasssy. Looking back there have been certain tunes that have defined moments in my life, some i cherish the memories of and some rather horrific ones. I find it great that you can hear a song and straight away it can transport you back to a point in time, in the case of some 60's music I am transported back to my Mums kitchen smelling the food she was prepairing. I would say that all my life music in one form or another has always been with me , to my utter pride and joy my son was also bitten by the big and has become an amazing guitarist, saxaphone player, drummer, and keyboard player, done a degree in music production and is constantly fiddling with his apple mac home studio software. For my birthday last year he wrote in his card to me a big thankyou for being the person that has inspired him to follow a musical path. I don't normally cry too much but I must admit to having a lump in me throat.

Know what you mean about the area full of pikey's only the Harley went missing from dartford and to be honest I think it was a section of a famous so called "motorcycle club" ( I do have a few contacts who would'nt deny it). The Triumph was taken from my work place which is yet another fantastic area Canning Town East London and 4 of our tinted friends lifted it up and threw it in the back or thier "T" reg rust coloured Transit. With this knowledge passed onto the police I would have thought that doing a portion of thier job they might have taken the view that they may possibly get a result therefore take the trouble to investigate, but as I was told by both the Kent Police and the Newham division of the Met Police they just haven't got the man power to have more than a curseroy look for it.

In the end my insurance cost me a total of £575.86 for the 2 bikes which i suppose with my recent claim history is really good but you have to bear in mind that it is 3rd party only, this being the case the optional extra injury and clothing/helmet cover was taken at least that way I ONLY loose a bike.
