    **** I've not heard from him in ages.

    I shall investigate.[/QUOTE]

    He is alive and well, I bumped into him at GLFs a few months ago.

    No, apparently it sits on its tyres.

    Is the winning opinion.

    After much thought, I've decided to fettle the bits as need fettling,
    and leave the rest.

    far. :^)

    Heh. I've been absent..generally.

    I thiink it's the right thing to do. One of the things I like about
    that bike is it's never been down so there's a degree of patina that
    is just...nice.


    Still miss it. :-(
