Twittering On

Now I don’t know what’s stranger –

The people who purposefully…??? …., put total stupidity on Twitter itself , or the radio D.J.’s who insist on bringing this to everybody’s attention over and over and over again…………in a vain attempt to be “hip , trendy and funny”…………….


………….. and now I’m just wondering where I stand – talking about it all - on here………………………

………………..errrrrrrrrrr………………………………..:)


Saying that - I do notice Twitter and other forms of modern communication have been invaluable in getting information on the current situation in Iran , re’ the protests over the presidential elections - out of the country , which like the Burma situation of last year would have been severely censored by the government in the not too distant past.

Nice to see modern technology being used against the authorities - for once :)


Riding the Range

Well it’s a bit of a vintage motorcycling weekend coming up :)

What with the trip to the local show on Saturday , taking - Leo’s 1919 Triumph and 1922 Levis, and of course on Sunday it’s the Beamish Reliability trial for pre 1963 bikes and cars , which we are thankfully not taking part in ……………

……………… well not to my knowledge :).

I’d probably be typing this from a hospital bed on Monday ……. otherwise :)

Now - It’s bad enough me switching from my own Harley to a mountain bike to my car - never mind anything else , and saying that , I think I’ve inadvertently developed three different styles to differentiate between them.

I ride my mountain bike like a Japanese sports motorcycle – fast aggressive and
“ knee down” - according to a friend of mine , I ride my Harley consistently – what ever that means :) , and I drive my car like I’m riding a bike , according to Evil Don, but he didn’t say what type……………..probably Honda 90 …………… :)
