| I'm toying with the idea of taking the 250 instead of the 10R. Does
anyone want to influence the decision making process by reserving a go
on it on the Sunday morning?
Champ saying he wants a go will push me towards taking the 10R.

I shall be taking the Guzzi although predicting whether that weekend will
be free is a bit tricky.
If it is and if I'm there those who want to experience a proper bike can.
By proper bike I mean unrefined, alarmingly noisy, surprisingly small and
slow. A bit windy too.

I might well take you up on that.
If you make it up there I'll make you laugh by telling you about a
job I've done recently where the customer would have had an absolute
fit if they'd known who the cunt was that fixed their piece of wanked
out old rubbish. >> Stay informed about: BOSM |

Heh. I'm not stupid enough to be caught like that twice. The best bit
was that they filmed some of the work being carried out but I wasn't

Well, if I take my 10R that means anyone who wants their eyeballs
permanently enlarged can have a go on mine.

Mind you, I could take the turbo. Decisions, decisions.

The only way I could describe riding that Guzzi is that it's like playing
leapfrog with someone who has really bad Parkinsons.

Yeah, cos "fixed by skeletor" doesn't narrow it down.

You've made a valid point there but the people in question never knew
what the subject of their hatred looked like. >> Stay informed about: BOSM |

Not entirely sure I get that but if it helps Daz described following it
as "worrying" because "the shapes it makes are not right".
I'm /normally/ quite good with surreal imagery but unfortunately ...
