That's what everyone was telling me.

I wonder if I can change my name to "Stout"...

btw, nice Bikes FBOB:)

[fatblokeonbandit]

The name came about in the holding area before a race at Pembray, two other racers were over heard saying, if that fat bloke on the bandit wasent as fat he could be quite quick!!! Anyway i decided its easier to modify and tune the bike than giving up beer and pies:D:DHeres the TL finished.

[Large]

Is the TL registered?

If so where's the tail/brakelight hidden?

[fatblokeonbandit]

Yup, its all legal, its git a daylight only MOT so dont need brake/tail lights all it needs is a horn and speedo..Well when I say legal I mean that very loosely as the noise from the pipe is ear splitting:D:D:D

[Frankie]

Gidday Fatbloke!

How about a recording from the TL ?!!

[cammy9r]

Hello FBOB, nice toys.

[fatblokeonbandit]

Hi Frankie, i would love to be able to do that, but Ive only just mastered this photo posting lark, so as for a sound clip, how the hell do you do that?????????????????????:D

[fimpBIKES]

day only, shit i could rego the tiller tomorrow if i could get that!!!

[Gix11]

Fat Bloke - you record it as a .wav or .mp3 file (or similar) and send it to me as an email. I'll do the rest for you.

[fatblokeonbandit]

Thanx for that GIX11, I have no idea what you are talking about, MP3wavey files????[:o)]
I will ask my mates 8 year old son he will know:D

[sluglie]

[clairebear]

hiya fatbob, i like the bandit...
my other half has a tlr, but he likes them all faired and pretty and shiny.
i gave up on fairings, pain in the arse things they are.

Welcome FatBob, you won't go for a lack of Poms here mate, especially ex-pats, and there's one or two fat blokes around.

Although I had to take my belt in a notch when I got to Macksville on the weekend (true, my business suit feels all loose now :))

[Razorback]

Welcome Gary, great to see you took up my invitation to join us. Yes its me Peter.... on Ebay Im goldcredit but here Im just plain old Razorback LOL. Dont ya love internet aliases.

Just for everyones info. Gary sold me a nice exhaust hanger a while back and has now come good on a tail light assembly for the Bandito that I couldnt seem to get in Oz as per usual. He seems to be able to source unusual fighter bits which shows in his bikes.

Welcome aboard mate ENJOY... and Ill be in touch about the light soonies :D

[fatblokeonbandit]

Hi Pete

[Razorback]

Hey Gary Im assuming from that listing that you are doing something to the bandit seat wise, whats the plan ?

[fatblokeonbandit]

No Pete just selling off some old stuff that has been in the garage for a while getting in the way, Its too late now anyway as I have to do the first hill climb of the season on it next Sunday..:D

[FIGHTERMC]

That looks like fun mate

[Razorback]

Ah when you said "hill climb" I was having these visions of chook chasers with oversized rear wheels and and lots of mud flying about... Thats looks much more like fun to me.. How did ya go ?

[Gix11]

That reminds me of the old Prescott Hill Climb. Great event.

[fatblokeonbandit]

What the hell is a Chook Chaser???[?][?]

Prescott is on the calender for later in the year, we did it last year but it pissed down all day long..Will post more pic later.........

[Razorback]

Chook = Ozzy for Chicken

Therefore... Chook Chaser = Trail bike.... as seen on farms chasing chooks :D

[fatblokeonbandit]

This was good fun but really cold about 2'c when the sun shone and about 0 when it wasent........

Yea, that sounds about right.
2 degrees c! Fuck me - you're keen! Where is that by the way? It looks like the road down to the pub in Torquay.

[Gix11]

I Love the casualness of it all.

http://www.nhca.co.uk/Pictures/People/Images/tig5.jpg

[fatblokeonbandit]

Its hartland quay in north devon near bideford, and yes it is the road down to the pub!:D:D

It all looks so sedate:)But i can assure you it wasent, I was doing about 70 to 80 ish at the next bend[:0][:0]Thats why I need good brakes...................

[Razorback]

Looks like bloody good fun mate!!

Maybe ASF can organise something like this hmmm ?

[Rich]

fatblokeonbandit fantastic hill climb pics. Razor I'm jealous too, got to get ourselves a hill....

Cheers Rich

[fatblokeonbandit]

Ive just got to show you this I havent stopped laughing since I saw it, my mate Fat Stan who fell of his xr650 AFTER crosing the finish line, What a DONKEY:D:D:D:D

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d106/fatblokeonbandit/P1010296.jpg

[ozkat]

Bloody hell mate lotsa fat blokes over there. You should fit in well here cause we have got our share of fat blokes on streetfighters too. :D

[Razorback]

Yeah Rich it would be a bloody short hill climb where we live... all over in 15 secs :D

[artkore]

Hey fat :)
You know i don't like your top fairing on the TLR... but with this smiley on it, i think it's better :D

;)

[clairebear]

all those pix make me miss ol' blighty!
summat the matter with me?

[dinorider]

Silverdale near warragamba dam has a hillclimb track for those that are interested.For me though I have Maquarie Pass,and yes we do time it!No I won`t put times here.That just wouldn`t be responsible-you know public road and all that!

Have to admit the run up Thunderbolt's way was fuggin fun, Eh damo, so perhaps we can have an annual Hill Climb event.[:p]

Would have to be somewhere in the Southern Highlands, as there ain't no other hills in Aus:D. (I can just see Razor and Rich heading out to the Gunbarrel Highway for a hill climb event, at least they don't have to worry about falling off the edge[:o)])

Definitely in summer though, the tyres don't grip too well on snow/ice ;)

[Gix11]

Artkore - how come you know Garry's TLR? Have you done a drawing of it?
As for you Claire, yes, there must be something the matter with you.

[dinorider]

well then gix heres a possible event for you to think about.any circuit stuff would be fun for an ASF event.hillclimb is probably one of the safest-time trial format.mid spring would be a good time as the weather would be fairer.straightliners then hillclimb.

Hey!!!!!!![}:)] maybe we can jack up the end of the runway[?]!!!??!!!!!

Then we can have a combination straightliners, hillclimb AND Crusty Demons;)!!!!!!!???!!!!!!!!!![^]

Yeah, come on, come on let's do it.[:p]

[fatblokeonbandit]

went ot watch another hill climb last wekend, :D

[Razorback]

Start em young... Thats the spirit!

[Gix11]

I was going to say, that bloke's shrunk. Sideways branches and fog in that second one - cold? Where was it? Make sure you get the Prescott shots over when you do it - many years since I saw that place.

[fatblokeonbandit]

Margam Park in south wales, and yes it was cold:D
Will post pics of prescott, I think its in July..
