Not the cb750 but from the same era, this arrived yesterday. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20240418/9bf4384b833590123e0e9f6694a72b96.jpg

Well I’m thinking of going down to three (or four!)

I Can’t disagree with any of that.

My initial point about good timekeeping is still an important factor for me though and however good the level of finishing is, if the timekeeping is poor then I...

That’s great new Tony, hopefully the weather will kind and you can enjoy the summer. [emoji106][emoji1696]

Whilst we are currently seeing a correction from the past few years of madness, I think they’ll always continue to rise (albeit at a much more realistic rate) as I can’t see Rolex either reducing...

I certainly not suggesting that Rolex watches be used for investment purposes, just that they can be a low cost ownership proposal again. They certainly have been in the past.

And I also agree...

Indeed, but I wasn’t really thinking about the madness of the last four years or so.

Now it seems that relatively normal service is being resumed, buying most models at or around retail should...

It depends on your definition of value for money. Long term, Rolex watches are much better vfm than most because they tend to increase in value.

Spend £300 on a San Martin and that’s £300 lost...

It’s got to be the FE.

You could be right, but not for me; poor time keeping bugs the hell out of me and I only use my phone as a bedside clock. I don’t use it for the time during the day although I do wear an Apple Watch...

I agree, I was just pointing out that it’s not all marketing and any product is going to cost a lot more to produce in Switzerland than China.

Big bikes are addictive but smaller bikes that you can push closer to their limits are more fun in the real world.

Whilst undoubtedly true, the eye watering difference in production costs in Switzerland compared to China no doubt are a contributing factor too.

I was going to comment on the timekeeping, after all that is the primary function of the watch. I love the design and finish of my Seiko SPB143 and 297 but the timekeeping annoys me. My 16710 is well...

I have both optimate, oximiser and a cheapie Halfords one. They all work well but the Halfords one doesn’t have a quick release connector so can be a bit of a faff to use regularly.

Stranger things have happened and I wouldn’t bet against it.

It’s so tight now and recent results have almost brought Southampton back into the mix. With both Leeds and Leicester still to play though, they’re going to have a big bearing on the result even if...

Just need the boys in white to say “well, if you insist!”

Probably not going to happen though.

2nd tier competition or not, whilst they are still in it, they will want to win it.

Even to most Liverpool fans, I’d suggest that any trophy in the cabinet is better than none.

Are you trying to Rob Belstaff Bob of an income stream? [emoji23][emoji23]

Second rate tournament against second rate teams yet taking a 3-0 home drubbing by one of those second rate teams.

Or are you just giving them a head start?

It really is a case of diminishing marginal returns; one the one hand, how much more fun will you have on the £12k bike compared to the £8k bike or the £15k bike compared to the £12k?

On the other...

The Highway Code changed recently; if you are on a side road and turning onto a main road or vice versa, the pedestrian has right of way to cross in front of you.

It’s stupid but is now the rule.

Then halve it for SC pricing! [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Whatever happens in the coming weeks, the playoffs are going to be extremely tough for the team that finished third!
