after seeing Macs photo ZZ TOP could be volvo drivers sm53 sm53 sm53 sm53 sm53 sm53

must admit I am quite into bands like the Kooks ,zutons and artic monkeys at the moment
but still admit to enjoying a good blast of 80's so called " gay" groups like Erasure , Bronski Beat ,communards ,culture club,Yazoo and of course pet shop boys

Fraid I'm a grump with modern 'music'. I sorta froze around Jefferson Airplane and Fairport ( ah! the booze and herbal help of the 60's & 70's). and of course ZZ's are cool (most discerning redline). In those days of course I rode a hogged up Sunbeam S8 (my right side got the biker tatoos). I also ran a custom CF with an injected Volvo V6.

Love trad. jazz (Black Bottom Stompers are my fave.) Very partial to Grappelli and Rheinhart. Also much into folk (well I must be really looking like I do).

For easy listening it's Meatloaf, for driving it's Wagner (weird huh!) and the only modern stuff I really like is Nick Cave (Zutons are ok though).

Anyone know a good shrink ?

Mac.

you dont need a shrink Mac , your probably the nearest thing we have here to "normal"

wouldent mind seeing some pics of the hog and the cf van when you get time to upload them.

I had a few chops from a 125 beeza bantam with ape hangers and a stepped saddle to a harley (those were the days)

I always wanted a bedford cf (much better looking than the transit ) and nearly bought one with a V8 rover lump and jag rear end but I settled in the end for an HA van with a 2.3 firenza lump

Need pictures of the BSA Mick!

Al used to drink in my local. He had a nice chop. I think it was a hardtail, huge apes, madly over forks...

...and an MZ 250 lump. Great stuff! Don't see enough of that kind of madness these days.




Don't remember if I've posted in this thread yet but I'm pretty much with Mac, except for the Wagner. I get my classical kicks with JS Bach.

Oh, silly me, the question is about what I listen to in the car. That'll be Radio 4 blah, blah, blah then.

:cry: sadly there are no surviving pictures of the BSA ,
I got it literally as a basket case ( well a frame and four big cardboard boxes to be precise )
although it was registered to the post office it had a fishtail exhaust and two seat saddle with the rear of the saddle attatched to the original rack when I got it ( usually post office bikes had a single sprung saddle )and was in green and cream,
but as I said it was in a sad way and all in boxes
I sprayed the frame dark metallic blue and the tank black with red BSA logos.
I rebuilt the engine with the carb on a pipe that made the air filter face the front of the bike giving me a very basic forced air induction system which helped increase acceleration and top end a bit.
the only pictures of it were borrowed and lost by a mate of mine .

I think he was jealous because he had a chopped Honda Benley (ugh )

If I had rebuilt it in its original guise it would have looked like the photo below and be worth a few bob now

Most of the above - recently added a 700 series stereo and amp to mine, replaced rear speakers with sony xplods which sound pretty great - so... anything goes... depends on the mood and speed... 100+ it's gpt to be a bit of dance, but 80's,90's classical... god anyhting really!!
