    Arse... logged into the wrong email account.

    Before anyone says anything, no I'm not trying to morph my way out of
    any killfiles.

    Fukkit. I've got to keep the 750SS, really. But explaining two Ducatis
    to The Doctor might be tricky.

  3. *snort* I wondered hat was going on.
    You? In somebody's killfile? Perish the thought ;-)

    Heh, nicely illustrating the experiences or possessions dilemma.
    Sometimes they're linked together too tightly. I'd have to be pretty
    desperate before I sold the Beeza I've had since I was 16.

    It's quite simple really:

    'Bike A, as in the BMW is a tourer, dear - this has now been disposed
    of and replaced with Bike B, as in the Ducati ST4... which is also a
    tourer (1)'

    (1) It just happens to vibrate a lot more / have more bits fall off /
    break, than Bike A

    ;-)

    ****, I'd have been interested in that but can't justify the expense
    right now.

    You should have heard him on the phone last night - I wasn't
    helping him much either!

    You should try it with 3 and *then* buy a Honda...

    Hey, TS, how many now ?

    3k since I took it down here. Not much for to summer seasons, but the
    German bikes do the dirty work . . .

    Jean will be happy it is still getting used, she had a soft spot for that
    one.

    I know why :) But I've no plans to go touring on it as she did; it is
    more a balance of care & sunny day pleasure use. Please tell Jean that
    she'd be welcome to HAG is she should happen to be in the area[1]

    [1] well at least during the "summer season"; it is on SORN during the
    winter.

  17. Overtaken by events now, but thanks anyway. Decided I just didn't really
    want it. And didn't want to sell the 750SS.
