    It wasn't for very long, he played more in their youth team and a few matches with the busby babes but quite after the terrible accident.

    Please forgive the Man U bit, been supporting them for 45 years, one of the rare times my father went out in the evening and I was allowed to watch the telly, and the game was the European win against Benfica.

    Good idea getting out of Luton, I work there that's enough.

    I don't mind playing it, with most sports I enjoy playing but I just don't get too excited watching it. I do get involved when the world cups on but that's all really.

    Engine bars, in my opinion not only look good but apparently, serve a purpose. I wouldnt purchase from a Triumph stealership as they tend to be bloody expensive. They pop up on ebay regularly enough, think i paid about £80 max for mine. Dont the Highway pegs fit higher up? Personally, i would find that a chore moving my feet up to the highway pegs then back down again to apply the rear brake or change gears.
    I have footboards on my 07 America & find them very comfortable. You can move your feet about a lot on them & still be close enough to the controls in an emergency. Mine did have the rocker gear selector too, which i found a pain in the arse to be honest as i rarely used the heel plate to change gear & it got on the way when moving my left foot around on the boards, so, i fitted a standard gear selector & all is good.

    Thats good advice, Just what I was after, I like the idea of the boards too, I don't intent to ride on too many motorways so highway pegs may be a waste of money, I have a little bit of difficulty changing up sometimes, I have adjusted the lever but I still seem to struggle, I've even altered my footwear .

    Well basically, she was in this wooden box called a coffin, we all sat around (family, friends etc) singing hymns & saying/listening to prayers etc etc then the curtains closed & the coffin with me poor old Nan in it went into the incinerator.... Hence she got badly burnt.

    They dont fuck about up the crematorium!
