To me introductions to start a message are a matter of what someone wants to use not always what is dictated by others.
Bloke, Buddy, Feller, Guy, Bozo, Doc, and many others are used depending where one associates with others.
Ya sure are sensitive how I am with my phrases.
Some info.
All right there feller! Bang sentence
All right there feller? Question
All right there feller. Just a statement of no Bang or Question.
Seems ya pay more attention how I say things than what is really meant.
I can't help but notice no actual response to my questions with positive info.
Problem there feller?. ...:-)......lm

Hi LM,

You used that same sentence in another thread, and that wasn't nicely meant (HE LISTEN FELLER, instead you forgot), I learn quick.

If you were commenting with some respect, I would do the same thing.

Hi, or Hi Jensen, or Hi J-man are starters I can't misinterpret.

Hi,

I pay attention to every detail, word, style, and the meaning of it. I have to, because English isn't my mothers (nor my fathers) language. I know it isn't an issue for you as you are possible a mono language guy.

This is a forum were words are used, so I try to interpret what you say, how you say it and what you mean by it. Maybe I start replying in Dutch, and see how you handle things.

Where does "he listen feller" fit in ?
Is it a bang sentence ?, a question sentence ? or just a statement ?

Where exactly do you associate me with when saying "he, listen feller" ??

As it is not one of the possibility's you mentioned, could you reveal exactly what you meant by that ? Could you be more specific on your info ?

btw, some words you use are not to easy to translate, is it slang or just miss-spelled words ?

"he listen feller"?
Ya really do have a concentration problem for sure there feller.
<<<< as you are possible a mono language guy.>>>
Another assumption on your part.
Ya use Dutch and most on the list won't understand and ya may actually give no credence in what ya offer.
Now I would never use my other language "Spanish" on the forum cause others wouldn't get the message (granted some would).
Now back to pics and constructive information plus any proof of the 1968 issue of the CB72 from the Netherlands would be nice. .........lm

Hi,

No assumption, as I said possibly, that means I do not state you are a mono language guy, but could be. When I'm sure about something you will know.

You are a master in chancing the meaning of a sentence (like the example above), and sometimes even wonder if you read them carefully. I never stated that no CB72 came into the US, I said they are rare in the US. I also stated that the CB72 is produced earlier and later then the CB77, it's true and you know it. Don't change what I'm saying into something different, as you do it so often.

Now, I would like you to ignore me, as I do try to ignore you. Don't ask me anything, as I don't ask you anything. In that way we won't collide, and that's good, for everyone.

I won't respond to your mails, as I expect, you don't respond on mine either, and if you do, I won't give any content on the question, only on the words you write, just like now.

Thank you in advance,

Jensen

I imagine that, back in the day, the CB72 would have been a popular choice to import into the UK; the rationale being:

• It
  could be legally ridden by budding motorcyclists with just a 'provisional' licence*
  looked and performed like a proper motorcycle**
  is a 'twin'***
  has looks that are indiscernible from its bigger-displacement sibling****

* Back then, in the UK, one was allowed to ride a m/c under 250cc with just a provisional licence; there was no time limit surrounding 'passing the test' and one wasn't compelled to undergo CBT (Compulsory Basic Training); L-plates were required to be clearly displayed, back & front and carrying a pillion passenger was reliant upon him or her having passed their m/c test. Upon 'passing' one could jump on any displacement of m/c (at 16) and ride, ride, ride! This law was first changed -- I can't be sure as to when but I believe it was the late '70s -- whereby a 16-year-old could ride only a 50cc moped and then, I believe, up to 125cc after the age of 17 until he/she passed the test. Maybe G-man, phactory Phil, Simon (Fisher) or Dennis could clarify here? It didn't apply to me and I had no kids 'till '81, so no interest in the law change.

**We had decrepit 4-stroke 250cc singles (BSA C15 & Barracuda -- I'm sure Matchless, AJS et al tried too -- along with the 200cc Triumph Tiger Cub)

***We also had a 4-stroke twin: the very woolly and wheezie Norton Jubilee! Our 2-stroke twins (Ariel Leader & Arrow, plus '50s Villiers 2T-engined leftovers) weren't particularly inspiring either. The importation of the CB72 was a no-contest invasion!

****Every '60s & '70s self-respecting motorcycling 16-year-old would have been desperate for his mates & their girlfriends to think that he had a 'big bike'! Britain had little that could compete with the 305 -- short of the 500cc BSA A7 & subsequent A50, or Triumph's later 5T Twenty One, 5TA Speed Twin or Daytona -- and the 350cc 3TA Tiger 90 stood little chance.

Sorry if I've opened up a festering wound, guys. It's all in a good cause, though!

I change meanings.
Ya did infer I would be/could be/ may be what ya say "mono language.
Did I surprise ya with the truth?
Ya make statements about these bikes which I may differ with and even now ya won't stay with requests for proof so I/we can believe them.
In truth the CB72 was/is a popular bike and not all were sent to your nation.
You offer no response to my question on the size engine one could get first time out.
Ya wonder if I read correctly!
Ya bet and I don't leave questions unanswered either.
Where did I say ya said "no CB72 bikes were shipped to the US"?
I'll for sure ignore ya when ya have things right, respond to questions of what ya say, and be a big boy and show some proof to your statements.
Taint your forum or mine only and if I see anything ya say and I disagree with I'll bring it out.
CB72 production figures per Bill Silver 43,176
CB77 " " " " " 90,349
And both were sold world wide. ..................lm
