I had a 1984(?) GT550 model, in deep red. Best shaftie I ever had.
I must admit I'm interested in this 1987 Kawasaki GT.
Be a great project bike.

@ournewhomecoach.bsky.social I really do feel for you. I'd seen it, and thought it didn't apply to me as I was born in the UK. Wrong! My UK passport has expired, and I don't have a GBP550 sticker in my Australian passport, so I still need the ETA - and that's just to let me on the plane.
PSA: apparently Australian citizens need a visa to enter the UK. FROM TODAY. #auspol.

@philipkallan.bsky.social, I've just checked out your website, and being a retired (Australian) submariner, and someone who trained at Bletchley Park, I couldn't go past Sea of Wolves. I've bought it, and it will be the next book I read.
Thanks for connecting.

As it's still early in the year, I'm going to claim my personal motto as my New Year's Resolution:

Aaah, the sticky carpets ...
Ah, the ‘meeters and greeters’ also known as the ‘chucker outers’ of the Royal Navy’s Dancing school in Portsmouth in the the 1970’ s and 1980’s…

If someone mispronounces a word, don't criticise them; they probably found the word in a book. If you want to improve your vocabulary - read, then read some more.

I've taken the step ... I have moved here from the gloom and doom of the old place. I will stay there as well for a while, so that I can maintain some continuity, but can't see it being too long.
Looking forward to following those who I have been following in the twittersphere.
