On Fri, 5 May 2006 18:47:13 +0100, I was sharing with Bee too. Would the potential replacement also be sharing with Bee?
Five million dollars. I think Bee should also comment on this. After all, she is currently down to share with a perfect gentleman. If I cannot go then she may well prefer to have the room to herself in which case I will just forfeit the cash. There are things that I wanted to get looked at before the French Run and I haven't got them done due to having to zoom off around Europe and around the country for my employer. I haven't got the bike serviced as I had planned last month. I never replaced the front brake pads (they really are in need of doing now), I never replaced the rear tyre which will need throwing in the bin at the end of the month anyway, I didn't even make arrangements to take up Lozzo & Wicked Uncle Nigel's most kind offer of having a once over on the bike before the trip. Although Auntie Carole would assist I don't wish to risk the extra expense of having the ER-5 throw a rod or otherwise snuff it whilst abroad. I can't afford it.
Jesus Creeping Shit. I shagged a big end on my second BMW a week before the Duclair run, and still went. Let's look at the list: Brake pads - half an hour? Rear tyre - take it to the preferred local tyre shop some lunchtime over the next three weeks. Once-over - I'm sure something can be organised in the next three weeks. Is this a cry for help or something?
BGN wrote You have no way of judging what Ms Zeebub my or may not find perfect in a gentlemen in fact I would go as far as to point that that you are particularly badly qualified to comment in this respect. But you are right.
No. If it was a cry for help it would be far more dramatic and would involve me saying "Can someone give me a hand?"
I spent a great deal of time thinking about and in my childhood spending time in one way or another with gentlemen so feel confident in my judgement of them. And YOU are a treasure. If I manage to sort out the brake pads within the next couple of weeks then I may well turn up. I suppose if my rear tyre is almost ready to be replaced now then it'll be ready to be replaced in a few hundred miles after the french run.
On Sat, 6 May 2006 09:05:13 +0100, I phoned Cheriton Motorcycles and have booked it in for Monday. "Are you the big bloke that has damage to the front of their bike?" "Yes, it's still working." Slightly infamous ER-5 shokkha.
BGN wrote I know it, you know it now all we have to do is convince the rest of the world. Excellent and the response you should have given in the first place.
BGN wrote Why bother? According to an ever so slightly prejudiced mate of mine they have all moved over here and are working The Lump.
