@ da brixsta,
Very nostalgic about music from that period, mhlobo... the whole grunge scene of the early-to-mid 90's with Soundgarden peaking with their Superunknown album (who could forget 'Black Hole Sun'..?!) ...Nirvana's Nevermind...Alice In Chains's Dirt album... Smashing Pumpkins with their Gish, Siamese Dream albums, as well as Mellon Collie (sic) and the Infinite Sadness double album...
And let's not forget Cypress Hill's Black Sunday or Pearl Jam's 'Ten' album...U2's Achtung Baby album was also out, Metallica's iconic black album...Live's phenomenal Throwing Copper album..., Collective Soul...
Hell, even one of my fave mello rap bands, PM Dawn, were in their heyday then...
MC Hammer appeared, SoulIISoul, the list goes on...
What a phenomenal time for music that was...

and the cures-staring at the sea album.one of my faves if not my no.1 album ever.and dont forget the pixies with the awesome doolittle and surfa rosa and kim deals (formerly guitarist for the pixies) starting up the breeders.depeche mode,the cranberries.wow.i could babble on to no end with great albums.those were good times...memory lane for me is a happy lane i would gladly love to wander down again.how times have changed.or maybe its just growing up,having responsibilities and aquiring unwelcomed fears about ones future and security.its a cruel world growing up and having to make a place in the world for yourself.we are becoming ants.

Oh gee HOBBS, you're gonna have me going on a nostalgic tangent here..
Firstly, The Cure. Staring At The Sea is my second fave Cure album. For me it will always be Disintegration. What an album. My first ever CD.
I'd switch off from lectures or work, press play and the wonderfully dreamy Plainsong, followed by the beautifully haunting 'Pictures of You' would have me in a pseudo state of karma...until the more eerie tracks like Lullaby (brilliant video, do you remember Robert Smith lying on the bed in those striped pyjamas, covered in cobwebs, while the other band members were dressed like zombiefied Napoleonic war uniformed soldiers playing on snaredrums by the window) and Fascination Street played, before the album settled into the dreamy songs again...
Ah, The Pixies. There was hardly a Wednesday 'alternative' music night at some of the places we jolled at where they didn't at least play one Pixies' Doolittle track (usually Debaser, Here Comes Your Man or Monkey Gone To Heaven) or something from the first 3 Violent Femmes albums, before they became more commercialised with stuff like 'American Music'...

...and then Depeche Mode. Hell, the chicks used to dig Dave Gahan. (and Nine Inch Nails's Trent Resnor).
Depeche Mode's 'Violator' and 'Songs Of Faith and Devotion' were out during that period too.
Policy Of Truth and Shake The Disease are probably my fave DM tracks of all time. They even used the songs in some of the last episodes of Miami Vice, together with various other tracks from Genesis etc. The soundtracks in Miami Vice were possibly the best from any TV series IMHO.
BTW, don't bother with last year's movie rehash of Miami Vice; what a load of poefie.
All this music talk..now where's Francois?

What a day. We went to a huge bike meet called The Southend Shakedown, in Essex's biggest coastal town, Southend. Literally tens of thousands of bikes there today!
First of the pics, although this one was with the digital camera, as by the time I saw this dude, the N73's battery had called it a day.
Yup, this Englishman has a tattoo of Madiba on his bloody noggin!
(warning: big pic!)

Do you guys remember the old Dunlop (I think) tyre slogan:
For a longer ride...
..go wide. (!)
N73 again:
Eish, can you imagine what it'd cost to replace those tyres?!

Thing is, he's a Brit; not one iota of Souf Efrican in his genes..well apparently anyway.
More N73 pics:
How's this for a spray job on an old motorbike and sidecar (26-year old Honda CX500) outfit? :
..even on the rear part of the seat, this time featuring John Wayne, as well as Klont Oosthuizen from the 'Spaghetti Western' era:
