Oh really? I've known him for years then, I shall pop past.

And have free BBQ's under them on Saturday mornings

Or bikini bike washes.

You may well find the council has something to say about that, and, even if the council where ok with it, the chances of them lasting even 2 months with out some oxygen thief stealing/damaging them is slim.

Funny, I could see you on one of those new fangled KYMCO,s-one of the smaller ones perhaps?

I had to get a new visor for my Shoei X spirit 2 (hit by a crazy driver) and only they stocked them.
Not only did they sell me the visor, but they also put back on a locking clip that had come off in the crash and then put the new visor, and original pinlock visor back together for me.
No, not a hopeless female, just temporarily one handed!
And Adam from the Guzzi shop on the corner is really nice and loves to talk Guzzis which I'm a bit partial to doing now and then.
