    Good grief, it's not the Second Coming.
    No; if I were ashamed of it, I wouldn't mention it in my sig or anywhere
    else. I'm just not in to the "look at me" thing that a new bike
    announcement involves.

    I haven't unsubscribed, quietly or otherwise.

    I was intent on going, if the latest acquisition had been acquired sooner.

    I was going to make an official announcement to the list, but it's
    hardly worth the effort now: essentially, it's too late to take the time
    off work.

    Also, I appear to have committed to some other, ummm... commitments.
    Pffft. Equal opportunities for all.

    I'll go next time, if you don't all die of hypothermia this time round.

    You're one of many, but in the flesh it was fucking unbelievably funny. The
    owner didn't think so though, probably because it took Triumph over a year
    to supply the first replacement shell. They were a bit quicker with the 2nd
    one taking a mere 4 months.
    Life was a Keysone Kop film when I was working in the garges during my
    teens. Fainting female office staff when she saw a finger hanging at an odd
    angle with the knuckle joint out in the breeze. I think the blood running
    down the arm (unfortunately, MY fucking arm) was the final straw. Then
    another fainting spell when I opened her window with a hand that had all the
    skin burned off the palm by a feral space heater. That nearly got me the
    sack, but I pleaded stupidity.

    One of the funniest (and a REAL Keystone Kop moment) was when our resident
    arsehole of a salesman put his leg into a customers Merc auto and revved the
    fucker up. The owner had a habit of not taking this thing out of drive and
    EVERYONE but the salesman knew it and normally it didn't matter coz the ramp
    she parked on had a nice incline. Not enough to hold the Merc when he revved
    it though, so the car fucked off into the showroom dragging him along with
    the door catch and smacking a nice shiny new Zodiac. The same Zodiac that
    fucked the Triumph.

    Result, a fucked Zodiac a fucked Merc and the biggest plate glass window in
    Christendom in pieces all over the Merc.

    It's hard not to laugh when someone makes such a pigs ear of things.
