combined with that reassuringly "homely" touch of paronoia..................... :lol:

Who? 'w@nk3r'? :lol: Ralph was great when I visited him, he put the kettle on and let me look at (and take some pictures) of some of his 'exotic' barrels. After that we looked through the records he keeps on lap times when he and 'w@nk3r' were in the 125GP class racing a Honda RS125. The dogs didn't maul me either! He's a top man and I like the fact that he speaks his mind. Funny as f@@k and his work speaks for itself.

Glad you got some sense out of the man.I designed the dyno b@11@x advert for him- dog with huge danglies :P :P modelled on his dog simba ( simba was well pleased with the result obviously being in a national publication with giant marraccas helped him in the park dating league),again i noticed noone passed my Ralph motor on the way back from cleethorpes, maybe i should get my engine set up on the Dyno to slow me down a bit!!! :cry: :cry:

as time goes bye you always manage to put a face to some of the user names on these forums. you did half the advert ,first to the rally, first in the pub, hairs on your chest, dyno bollox, I did all the rest of the advert(s). Me and Ralf nearly pissed ourselves when it was actually published!
that one advert got even more calls than the RS250 advert, not even the de-tour exhaust came close!

He's still got the originals.. when I was up there a while ago, he pulled them out for another good laugh. We could barely speak for laughing! :lol:
