Welcome back Rob...
I had wondered what had happened-i knew you were contemplating moving away, but figured as you'd gone quiet that you probably had, but didn't have any internet connection!
I guess you've prob. seen the latest? Chris is breaking his 480, Edd sold his, RichP wrote his off and may never make it back into a 480, and said good chance there'll be no more Rich Mod's... MHUK was talking of breaking his 480, but has disappeared...
Think VBB is a Dad now, hardly see him here... Murf is 480-less now, as is Owen080808 & Piper1st, but we have had a few new enthusiastic members which is good.
Other than that, it's same old same old! Nice to see you back though

Welcome back Rob, looks like while some people are leaving the 480 world other old fans are returning.
Thats right, have been for a whole 4 months. I may not post as much as I used to but I am on here several times a day now, being an IT engineer I am more or less permanently connected to the internet so still quite regular.Dan the 480 Man wrote:Think VBB is a Dad now, hardly see him here...

Its breaking because unbeknown to us all, under the windscreen surround the rust was slowly eating it away, only becoming apparent when the windscreen cracked from top to bottom! Looks like a spiders web now.robkendall wrote:

Hi there,
Bad it didn't work out, If you think of moving to France, I've got a few 480's for sale, up to 4 of the bloody things now, my O/H now has 2 480's + BMW + the bikes in the garage/yard and is suggesting setting fire to the 480's...so same as Murf, if you need parts or anythng, giz a shout !
Apart from that, I think everyone has resumed the past year pretty well...oh, yeah, JT has gone mad and bought a Jap...think that's all the recent excitement really
Good luck finding a new 480

You said you didn't love me anymore, and that you'd be happier with a Skyline
