pointless and mundane

Post by HiFi »

Bit silly and pointless, but I was just watching a repeat of the BBC show "The Apprentice" - first episode of series 8 originally broadcast 2012. The girl's team were selling screen printed t-shirts and the like from a stall in Greenwich Market in London. Close to the end of the day they started running about trying to sell what stock was left to shops in the district - and ran right past a nice looking naked yellow Rappy thousand parked on the curb. Was cool to see it on TV, anyone else seen one on any other programme? I remember being quite pleased to see Cagivas chasing down Pierce Brosnan at the start of Bond Goldeneye when I first saw that too!

Awesome :thumbsup: reading an internet articel on the great "Bazza" , Barry Sheene. I see he also owned a cagiva raptor 1000 and gave the bike a good rap :oops: , pardon the pun. Link for anyone interested, a good read.

Oh, I wouldn't say that at all. If you ask me I reckon that's a bit of top anoraking :D And always looks good in yellow.

Bazza article was great & the first I'd heard of his involvement with Cagiva. You certainly do learn summat every day.
