  3. Just out of interest like, how much would people pay to see me have mine
    lopped off? 10 years growth with less than 1 trim a year average.

  6. One clothing related thing you didn't mention was Windproofing.
    I always thought people wearing fleeces/jackets over their leathers were
    a bit pretentious, until one day when I actually tried me windproof
    jacket over my leather.

    Now I won't do a long and likely dry journey without it and I have
    windproof inner gloves.

    At the Brum Bike show, Knox (maker of back protectors) had a display
    piece consisting of a large fan in a cabient with a sliding door. The
    door was made of the windproof material. It really did block out all of
    the wind generated by the fan.

    FFS a couple of cans of Veet spray might be handy.

    You're avoiding the full top and bottom trim though....

    My last bike was a Bandit 600 and I loved it. Great bike. If I hadn't
    crashed it I'd still have it. You can keep up with most on a Bandit.
    It is. Pretty much superceeded by the SV650.
    Well don't let them, then.

    I'm fairly committed to the idea that men shouldn't have long hair.

    Either that or we'll have to find out if Gene Hackman's got anything on
    that week.

    that's not a very cavalier attitude.

    I know. Things will be better the sooner it gets round. Heads will be
    more aesthetically pleasing.

  17. And there was me thinking that you, from your part of the world, would
    go nova at a suggestion like that.

    You don't mean the SV1000, do you?

    At least you're being civil. War has been declared over less.
