Good Bye Wilson....Hello.....







Maybe not my size..if anything not the right suit!


Right Guy.....Wrong suit, Wrong Bike!

Lovely Autumn day in London enjoying Brian's favorite pass time..taking pictures whilst staring into the sun!

Outside Grandma's House...see into the sun, that was the last picture I let him take that day!
Elaine and "Cakeman"

"Cakeman"

Mmmm ahh yes that doesnt look like the usual English number plate does it??

Ten minutes later after circling the bike five times....tentatively plastering a fine on Wilson face!..you friggen idiot!


Now thats a nice welcome to London for a globe trotting bike!...Ha,ha fool!

Oh yeah I'll be paying this...mmph straight after my wedding to Eva Mendes! 

Camden Council could you please post me the increased penalty when this is not paid!...ahh ha ha ha!






This ticket was an undignified end to "Wilsons" time with me, after 74,442km around this planet he deserved better, but it was just easier to watch him float away and hope that what ever becomes of him he will always remember.......All those f.....times he broke down and not to do it with his new owner!!



Some say on a dark night or while drinking rum on a ship bound for Colombia that he looks like me?
The Exchange...yep got it all on camera "Man with guilty face"


Only time these bikes are ever going to be in the same place...ever!

No stay...don't go!...oh well alright...where's me new one?

I remember the early days "Wilson" we didn't know each other well!



and now your in the back off a Van!..ha



And that was the last time I saw "Wilson" in the back of a van getting carted away like some common criminal!

The new Thumper!...look no tears!

What time is it kids?...Yes it's Farkle time.....Oh Joy!!!
Oh I just thought not everyone may know what a Farkle is?...well Farkle stands for "Sparkle" and "Functional" accessory, hence Farkle!...or some say
F.ancy
A.ccessory
R.eally
K.ool &
L.ikely
E.xpensive
Now this video below is a example of an extreme Farkle! (although not an entirely successful Farkle)But still awesome!...now where can I buy them?


Metal Mule the guys who made my indestructible panniers!






Oh yeah 1 hour of ownership and I do this!..yeah nice one!
