    You never did.

    But you know there's no way Platy will let it go now, right?

    Don't be ridiculous. What I want is a nice little GL1200.
    I'm sure WUN would be pleased to let you have a pole of it.

    While on the subject of WUN, a moment of inspiration from another place...

    "Next moment, hardly knowing how it came about, he found he had hold of the
    key and was turning it. As the familiar sound broke forth, the old passion
    seized on Nigel and completely mastered him, body and soul. As if in a dream
    he found himself, somehow, seated in the rider's seat; as if in a dream, he
    pulled the handlebars and swung the Blingmobile round the yard and out
    through the archway; and, as if in a dream, all sense of right and wrong,
    all fear of obvious consequences, seemed temporarily suspended. He increased
    his pace, and as the motorcycle devoured the street and leapt forth on the
    high road through the open country, he was only conscious that he was Nigel
    once more, Nigel at his best and highest, Nigel the terror, the
    traffic-queller, the Lord of the lone trail, before whom all must give way
    or be smitten into nothingness and everlasting night. He chanted as he flew,
    and the Blingmobile responded with sonorous drone; the miles were eaten up
    under him as he sped he knew not whither, fulfilling his instincts, living
    his hour, reckless of what might come to him."

    Oh yes. Particularly in Bonwick-biting beige.

    I first heard the term from you, at Ally Pally about 3-4 years ago,
    IIRC.

    It's an expression that was coined by me and an ex-boss one afternoon in
    my old office. He was Jewish and couldn't make up his mind what colour
    to paint his 'new to him' Renault 5 race car, we settled on JRG.
