    Damn straight.

    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Actually Colin, I'm sorry (absolutely crap with names, too).
    I apologise for my last post.
    I had forgotten your Australian heritage and the problems that go with it.
    Had you not realised the reason that so many New Zealanders move to Oz is that they need more room to wave it about?
    This situation also explains why Australia is so good at sport. I mean, when you have a whole nation that suffers fron "short man syndrome", just imagine the ferocity of attitude that it engenders.
    It also explains why the Aussies routinely thrash the Kiwis. It's rather hard to be athletic when you are stepping on it all the time and if you roll it up to get it out of the way, it moves your centre of gravity too far forward of course.

    Of course there are some Kiwis with a bit of Pom or Aussie in their ancestry and also the consequent problems. They are easy to pick though because they usually ride...........oh shit, I'm sorry mate....................KTM's
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.

    Looking at the new KLR range I have to say the all black colour scheme looks bloody good.

    DR lovers don't worry all the KLRers on KLR650net are moaning they haven't put a twin in it or other things - But you'll never please everyone.

    I didn't have to ask your wife - she talks in her sleep.

    Ah, a riposte, excellent.
    7 out of 10.
    Might have been higher but it doesn't actually contradict anything that I said, now does it?
    I may not be as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I always was.
