HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO BOY’OS It’s been a disgustingly LONG time since I was last on here, it’s like coming home again, I am truly sorry from the bottom of my black smoke riddled exhaust perverted heart for not being on here more, gonna change that, been on Facebook TOOO much but wanna come back on here full time, so....... What’s been going on in ere then, what’s up with the photo posting situation, we still using photobucket or some other hosting site.? As the top of this post says, the goal was to build a 1999 Peter Goddard WSBK replica, well I can now say that after nearly THREE years it’s pretty much finished, the paintwork was completed yesterday and the bike is ready for pick up, gonna take it back to Griff at AP for a final going over before the first track day which will hopefully be a test day before the big aprilia meet up at Donny in July. Let the piss taking and ridiculing commence guys, don’t hold back NickyBoy

Welcome back young Sir Was wondering where you'd disappeared to. How's the wrists these days? Not much new on here these days unfortunately,most of the old crew have moved on with newer bikes, although some still drop by from time to time. |

Yaay, so glad your still here matey, I’ll have someone to take the much needed piss outta me Haha.!! Yeah they’re not good matey but I’ve been giving them rest from bikes for about the best part of a year with the very occasional ride here n there...
Hopefully that rest, coupled with some much needed weight loss and training will help with my upcoming track day tests and fun days on project Goddard99 NickyBoy

Ahh, weight loss, something I really need to do. Easier said than done though. I haven't ridden my Mille for around 3 years now although I have been out on the T a few times this year. I managed about 500 miles last year according to the mot cert. You still driving trains for a living? |

Yeah it was a real struggle in the first early weeks but managed to stick at it and it payed off hehe, once the first month or so is outta the way, it’s plain sailing then blimey, you’ve covered MORE miles than I have lol, just getting the time ain’t it, constantly fighting against that big ole thing called life to give us some play time on the bikes lol... Yeah mate, I’am still on the trains, work for TFL Rail now, gonna be Elizabeth Line soon as part of the Crossrail project lol, it’s taking bloody ages though, how’s about you, what you upto now?

Oi Oi matey, nice to see your still in ere too hehe, errrrrmmmmmm, I’am not bullsh*tting when I say this but all I can remember is the “original” £940 I paid for the bike, however, all that remains of the original bike is the frame, wheels and some fixings/chassis parts - THATS IT I’ve spent god knows how much on parts, replacement parts, bespoke parts etc in getting this bike finished lol...

Nothing exciting, happily retired now so just chilling really. Most days I just can't be bothered to get suited up and get the bike out even if the weather is good. I'm spending more and more time with my grandchildren now over in Vienna, in fact I'm over there now for another 5 weeks or so. I do miss having a bike sometimes over here when the weather is really good and we're out in the country but wouldn't fancy riding around the city.

I can understand that, I get very little enjoyment road riding these days. Got fantastic roads at home but I seem to have lost the ability to just enjoy the ride and instead spend most of the time watching my speed and looking out for scamera vans and dozy motorists. At least on track things are all going the same way

Yeah, that’s exactly it mate, at least with track riding, we can do what we really wanna do (go fast) and enjoy it, safe in the knowledge that as track riders, were all reading off the same him sheet, no I can’t spell that word NickyBoy
