    And that, boys and girls, is the one Gotcha.

    I believe that Platy has one more to play - but he'll probably never
    need it.

    I'd say there are easily enough humourless twats on UKRM to knock
    your assertion into a cocked hat.

    Well, shit still happens if you smile or frown. I just see more
    advantages in being able to smile when shit happens, that's all.

    No hurry - I won't be riding or driving for 6 weeks or so. Anyway, apart
    from the new bits I've put on it, the RT's a bit of a shitheap. I may get
    something else instead.

    Would our SR250 qualify for the Morocco run?

    Heh. They were itching to do some sort of hospital hygiene number on me,
    but I wasn't having any.

    It's got to. I bought one. One of the shitest bikes I've ever known.
    Nice soft engine, but no power whatsoever, soggy handling, no comfort,
    no speed and definitely no brakes.[/QUOTE]

    As we are leaving early this evening on our way oop north[1], Owen
    won't be replying to this. However, let me explain the Mayes-comfort
    factor. He rides it sitting on the pillion seat and says it's very
    comfy. I ride it sitting on the proper seat and it's very comfy for me
    too. The rest, however, is true. Especially the brakes. The first time
    Owen rode it to work was, erm, interesting after the Bandit. Owen came
    home saying he'd have to work on the brakes. I said they'd always been
    bad; the bike needs advance warning in triplicate of intention to
    stop. He's got used to it now.
    Yeah, fun aren't they?

    [1]We arrive tonight at my uncle's house near Leicester, tomorrow we
    are staying in Halifax with my daughter Jeni, then we will be at EOSM
    on Saturday. Oh yeah, and we will perforce be in the car, we can't
    both sit on the SR250, the BMW is fucked, the VZ800 also, and Owen
    can't ride the Bandit that far because of damaged wrists (also I
    wouldn't want to ride pillion that far on it).

    I might have been tempted, had I been a) an ex-pupil of St Custards, and b)
    even remotely interested in the same old biddy who fitted the polysling
    incorrectly.

    I shall treat that suggestion with the contempt it deserves.
