One for the oldies here....
It's been well over 20 years since I first ventured into the ukrm 'bar'.
And it's provided more than two decades' worth of laughter. And I'm
trying to remember some of the posts and threads, rather than off-line
experiences and swift witty sallies (though God knows there were enough
of those).
Trolls and how they were despatched back under their bridges were fun -
who was the one who, it turned out, had pervy pictures of his sister
not-well-hidden on his home page?
The thread in which it transpired that someone had smoked the catnip
brought to a ukrm party, for the host's cat, under the impression that
it was some decent home-grown dope?
Bear (I think), on returning from a holiday in Cuba, triumphantly
relating how he'd met some guy who took him to the very best place, that
the tourists never knew of, for Havana cigars, only for someone else to
methodically explain that he'd fallen for the most classic con in Cuba.
Someone else (was it Simes?) who admitted to licking a live model
railway track to see if his tongue would tingle as it does when you
touch a PP9 battery to it.
Someone else please remind me of others: at times like this I need a
good laugh.

Don't remember that!

But I'm giggling now as I've recalled another:
Molly, after Melanie had had the 'gender reassignment' (though I don't
think we called it that back then) op, proudly taking a large close-up
picture of the finished article, in the hospital, and emailing it to
Darsy.
Who innocently opened the attachment at work.
I can still remember Darsy's comment afterwards: "Fokkin' hell. Fokkin'
split bayver spread across two fokkin' monitors."

He then went into detail how he undid his jacket, pulled his top down a
bit to expose his boobs, then got let off with a warning, as he reckoned
the PC only wanted to see some tits!

funniest was Windy, in remission, climbing a ladder to clear gutters or

retold the story had me in fits of laughter
2nd funniest was the re-enactment of sweller's separation from his outfit
I often wonder if darsy has any memories of UKRM stuff, especially his
comment directed at me after I made a wine recommendation, "you have very
good taste in wine for a fat, Welsh poof."

tin foil on his head (with a slot for vision) connected to the tinfolil lined dash with

JP's story about finding someone parked on the hardshoulder/embankment of
some motorway (M20?) passed out drunk with porn all around the car and his
flaccid cock in his hand, 'adult chat line' audio coming out of the carphone's
speaker.
I'm sure there are lots of good Matt Tab stories, I just can't remember any of them.

BY THE OLDER GENTLEMAN
CLUES | SEPTEMBER 13, 2001
Early in 2000 a few regulars noticed that topics being discussed in ukrm threads had a habit of turning up, in one form or another, in MCN's pages, masquerading as news.
It was happening too much to be coincidence, so a trap was carefully set and baited. A poster who is not that old and certainly no gentleman cooked up a story, and passed it onto another poster who definitely doersn't ride an Aprilia, who put it on the newsgroup.
The gist of the story was that Honda was about to launch a whole range of supercharged vee-twins, in various capacities, and out mythical poster's mate worked for the supercharger company and had been involved in the project. A little convincing technical detail was thrown in.
Then we all sat down to wait.
Lo and behold, the very next MCN had the story prominently splashed as a scoop, "from our contact in Japan", on their first right-hand news page. They'd even named the circuit where these machines were being tested (a nice bit of extra invention on MCN's part).
I reckon it gave us the best laugh of all, last year. I was away from my computer when MCN came out, but picked up my email via web mail service. There were 35 new messages in my in-box. At first I thought I'd been mail bombed, but then I saw that they were all from ukrm-ers who'd been in on the plot, and all said much the same thing: "Seen MCN? The wankers fell for it!"
Did we laugh? I should coco. Not only did we laugh, but we made sure that the media world knew of MCN's incompetence. The UK Press Gazette was passed the story by this young no-gentleman, who pocketed a three-figure tip fee for his trouble. UKPG got onto the editor of MCN, who was suitably embarrassed. Other motorcycle magazines had a field day.
I mean, just one phone call to Honda, to check out the story, would have resulted in the truth coming out, but MCN's hack was simply too lazy to do that.
MCN rather shamefacedly owned up to having been conned, and blamed it all on a "spoof e-mail".
Yeah. Right.

"someone else"?!? It was you! That was quite an amusing exchange.

Probably because by the time I've had a few glasses of plonk I'm done
for in the boozing stakes and of to kip.
First French run attendance by someone on a French manufactured bike I
suspect.
I resisted the attempt by Champ and Bonwick to organise an impromptu
sprint down the promenade. Though I do recall having to move the 'French
Tart' off a side road on to the hotel forecourt late in the evening,
accompanied by a certain amount of 72 degree V twin music.

Wasnt there a big argument between Bear and Jackie?
Mind you, Bear argued with nearly everyone at some point, so yes, there
was an argument.

I think we are in the dark about the interesting stuff but recently contracted Sepsis, lost toes, then broke his collar bone.

Last year in a remote boozer in Wales, after we played at a local festival and we’d gone for a few beers. Conversation afterwards...
That bloke in the denim shirt was a good guitar player
Did he show you his tits?’
Oh, he’s going through gender reassignment?
No - he just wanted to have tits.
I guess there’s not much to do in Wales

Ah ok. I believe both Cane and Darsy were there, possibly Hog too.

Yeah, that's the one in the write-up linked above. You didn't read it,
did you?
What it doesn't show is that there were actually two attempts to get
out on the XTR, with a first breakdown being "fixed" in a couple of
hours, but then expiring again once he'd got packed up and going for
the third time.
Adie had stayed at mine to wait for him, so I remeber the sequence of
phone calls, incuding trying to find someone at an insurance company,
_any_ insurance company, to give him cover on the Fazer. The plan to
meet in the Black Forest was only made late in the day when the
earlier attempts had failed.
