    I never suggested otherwise, so no concession neccessary. t'was only
    you suggesting the innapropriateness of the duke.

    The upside being, there's a possibility that it could be funny.

    Oh, I dunno. 4 years ago, the trade-in on my VFR800 (17 months old,
    ~18000 miles) was 4.5K.

    They can't have held their price that well, can they?

    Or even <pauses> the, er.. Honda Deauville. Possibly the most derided bike
    since the CB500T, it does exactly what it says on the tin, and is quite
    capable of overtaking those tossers that ride 996's at 80 on the motorway.
    IME if they ride like that on an M-Way, a C90 will show them the way home on
    snake pass. I will not forget the day I lost a Triumph Sprint in a 10yo
    1600 Toyota estate on the B4525 (as was) in a hurry.

    My ex-company Honda XR400R Enduro bike was specifically bought for me to
    ride from Flitwick into and around central London. It did it quite well
    too.

    stickers to prove it.

    That was his evil [1] twin Ross. Norris died last Monday.

    I smiled.


    [1] actually "more evil", honestly.

    why the reference to evil and you laughing? Just wondering as my brain
    is struggling to recall why the McWhirters would fail the sweller test
    of acceptability.
