Well - aren’t tour shirts an amazing source of information and amongst the standard issue - Motorhead , Kiss , Iron Maiden – etc – etc – etc …………I spied a gem - a
Love / hate tour shirt , which told me the first time I’d seen this lot was April ‘92, and yes that was in the workingman’s club down by the seaside , just past Bladerunner City :)
If my memory serves me correctly , that particular evening was mild but it rained all the 90 miles - there and back . I had my Hatrley Electraglide – Marilyn, in those days, and being a tourer , it at least gave me at least some protection from the elements , but not from one of my mates running out of petrol on the way home
at 12.00…………….. .
This was unlike last night of course – as it was off with the Roadking screen and on with the open face helmet, totally ignoring the lying weather forecasters predictions of monsoons , typhoons , plagues and what ever other ridiculous , rubbish they talk about :)
Errrrr …………..guess what they were right ……….. and on the way home the torrents of rain could have blasted all the paint off my bike , never mind any purple bird cr*p :)
This must have been divine retribution for me bad mouthing those poor weather presenters …………or and even worse ………
…………………..praying at that evil church of metal…. !!! …:…….
……………………………..yet again ………….:)
The evil gig :)………….well that was excellent , and the guys haven’t gone the Samson route , after cutting all their hair off……….shock ……horror….:) , as the last time I saw the singer of the band , he still had hair , but was attached to a cross on the Y of the Hollywood sign …………I kid you not ……………………..
