    After many years of dithering I've finally decided to buy a Buell. A
    test ride on a City X has finally made me decide that they're great fun
    to ride, finally look good and, despite it's small size, is comfortable
    for me.

    For the first time in a couple of years I'm excited about getting out
    on the road again on a fun bike. Hurry up and get my plate transferred
    DVLA so I can get out on my new bike!

    Fortunately I'll only ride for fun so any unreliability can be lived
    with, fingers crossed though, I don't want it off the road in the
    summer.

    You seem to have lost the tail of your letter Y.

    Very good, that's twice now in a week I've had this humorous comment.
    It's like being back at school, you'll be wanting my dinner money next
    and forcing me to do your maths homework. Stop it or I'll tell my mum.

    Hmm, I'd really have problems riding a bike with the same name as the budget
    end of the Austin Metro / Maestro range in the early nineties.

    My ex had a Maestro City X, what an unmitigated pile of fucking shit
    that was.

    My girlfriends first car was also a Metro and I think it was a City X,
    it didn't even have a parcel shelf and I had to add a 12v socket so it
    could be hoovered. It used to shake at 65mph so I guess there are some
    similarities to the Buell.

    The technology on this group is not in tune with my brain, I was having
    trouble figuring out how to add a quote. I've had a breakthough though,
    is this message understandable?

    PS. Your keyboard is playing up and is mixing up the y's and v's
    withing continuingly humorous results!

    Nearly there. Couple of extra blanks at the top could go, and you
    should remove anything after the '-- ' line, or get your newsreader to
    do it for you. But I've seen a lot worse :)
    Looks all right to me.
