You're absolutely right but it didn't get as many replies. -- Molly "Gower School" By Appointment".

The day I measure my worth by the number of replies I get to a post on usenet is the day I end my life.
ermm, I thought I said it was important to other people not just me. In fact the most important thing ever. Well nearly ever.
Bear says... Careful chummy, my mum was a dockyard welder when she left school in Malta in the early 50s. She was a real looker was my mum.
It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the I'd have thought a hooker was the ultimate capitalist. -- Dave GS 850 x2 / SE 6a SbS#6 DIAABTCOD#16 APOSTLE#6 FUB#3 FUB KotL OSOS#12? UKRMMA#19 COSOC#10

Bear says... My generation got the looks, it just skipped a child from elder sister to younger sister, leaving me out. Caz is the spitting image of my little sister, but with darker hair.
Bear says... She didn't look like a shipyard welder, her minder however almost certainly had a day job as a railway buffer in Frankfurt station.
Andy Wegg says... GPZ1100s only came in Firecracker red when I bought mine. It was an immaculate 5K mile, 18 month old GPZ1100B2 that I got for 500 quid in 1983 cos it sounded like the bottom end had grenaded. With a totally fucked engine it was almost worthless, so I gave **** all for it. The banging noise was unbearable even on tickover, but I rode it away thinking that it was fucked anyway, so a few more miles won't make any difference. Turned out to be the starter clutch bolts had fallen out. Cost to repair was a tenner. It was fixed by the mechanic at the Kawasaki dealers I worked part-time for within an hour of me buying it, and I rode back to the seller's house that evening to pick up the handbook and some odds and sods on it. The seller almost cried when he heard it ticking over quietly on his driveway. I kept it for 18 months and sold it for a tidy profit.
Ace says... I had the choice of two bikes or my car at the time, but it was a sunny evening and I had a new bike to play on. What would you have taken?
