Hi everyone, as some of ya know I've been doin a motorcycle related blog for the last 105 years on here, you can read them all A to R at this point and be totally flummoxed as to my motivation! Its ironic that ive reached R as our bike shop went caput in December last year and i thought this was a dead donkey but fate, as it seems, isnt without a certain amount of irony (anyone tell me which movie those last words are from and I will be enormously impressed lol) I can make tea if all else fails
Robinsons started in 1954 or 55 by Mr Robinson believe it or not and they sold cars, Honda I think and Triumphs, you remember those Triumph dolopashites? Cool cars man lol Dont know a lot about the history way back then but I do know our (old) parts department has still got Hugh Robinsons 1960's faded wallpaper trying to escape off the walls, its funky but no I wouldnt have chose it, maybe back then it appealed, course it would. So the top floor used to Hugh Robbies flat too, above his business. Mid 80's they became known as great sidecar competitors, with Dorian their then parts lad at the helm or half of the helm, the driving helm shall we say, not the idiot on the side clinging on with his balls in his mouth! Incidentally our now MD worked as a salesman downstairs during this time selling trials and motocross bikes and returned 20 years later to buy the better part of Hughs business, been there a year or so when I met David the MD. He's competed in the TT on the isle of man and still competes in Ford Races somewhere, dont know exactly, cars bore me. He's managed to become the Secretary of the British Supermotard Championships, so he's in charge, his baby, loves it totally and mostly orrientated around his love of KTM motorcycles and our team has done extremely well over the last couple of years with him at the wheel - loadsa podium finishes.
Now his focus is to make one of, if not the, biggest dealerships in the North West with his major interest in competition and exotic motorcycles - all things two wheeledness and I believe he can probably do it. He has a great quiet demeanor but a bubbling anger beneath that, its a good mix believe it or not and I like him alot! He's trusting me to be in charge of parts again with my faithful padowan Justin, the ginger guy who pops his face into the cam twice lol We get on coz we love film and online gaming, oh and he's a smart cookie, the guy could run the best Subaru dealership in the world if he put his mind to it but like all people from Rochdale, ambition is just a word, hahaha I love him really... mmmm ginger babies
So Im happy to be back there and not stacking beans in Tesco, its comfortable, I know how to get there hahaha my old friends will return and I can start helping people out again, new and old and foreign and tempramental, everyone, coz being the guy who gets your parts has twist and turns and you gotta be reliable and not screw things up, being relied upon is good and I can be trusted to sort you out as I should with advice and a smart alec comment and a smile, we should smile, I smile when I take your 300 squids off you and you smile back coz it could have cost you 400! Oh and the comments about Rochdale and the swearing on the vid? Well Rochdale is a bit of a shit hole and I hate the black box in the centre, they are trying to "regenerate" Rochdale but it will take a while let me tell ya. There are so many bad elements there and Im not that keen on the place but still there are famous people that have come from Rochdale and it has history as any place does and I apologise for my language but im not keen on camcording either and I get nervous so blank that shit out, like I do! So the link is at the bottom, Im somewhat bitter about the varied bikes we will be selling but this is the future and I must accept im heading that way too, god willing!

And open tool box to prove yah did some work was a good touch, nice!
Nice documentary, and if the black box building is civil, it was bulit as a bomb shelter, maybe?
Patience is something I taught myself, so I never know when it's going to run out?

Movie Trivia!
"but fate, as it seems, isnt without a certain amount of irony"
Taken from the Matrix... at the scene when Morpheus and Neo are talking about how humans scorched skies in order to stop the machines.. but instead humans are used as batteries... Interesting how humans depended on machines... but fate, as it seems, isnt without a certain amount of irony....

Well heres a quote for you...
Im not sure if calling me a MOFO is a good thing as in being Awesome for answering that fast or a bad thing for just being a MOFO.... However, I will truly be impressed if you can figure out where this quote came from..
"Being Awesome is not a Priviledge, It is a Responsibility. You will never be more Awesome than you are today, except for how Awesome you'll be tomorrow."

What a lovely green motorbike.
Nice bleelog mate, glad to hear your shop is opening again and that you are in gainful employment. I know Rochdale quite well, super place. lol, I had my leather jacket stolen out of my van once, i only got out to take a piss,came out and a lad is sprinting down the road in my jacket into a really dodgy looking housing estate, I think it was near spotlands, didn't bother giving chase. Are you having a grand opening? I may come along for the champers and dancing girls.
He's not the messiah, he's a very naughty boy.
