Female - yep
Slender build - er...no
Must be able to handle a motorbike - have been riding a while, so I guess I could say yep to this
Pref. long black hair (but wig can be supplied) - would need wig
Interaction with cast members is required, but acting experience is not essential - I've been on Shortland Street (albeit as an extra....) does that count?
A feel for music is desirable (music reading not required, however) - I love Buddy Holly...

But woops, I don't have a Harley. Shit. There goes my new career.

Hey Lynda, don't give up! From what I recall Donizetti's opera is set in Italy, so someone has cocked things up. When they realize that what they need is someone on a Ducati, not a Harley, you're in!!

This opera must be a fantasy - A Slim Hog Mama?

johno, I could introduce you to a few of these so called "fantasy" women but when I told them why I wanted to introduce them to you they kind of lost interest and walked off muttering something about "not that ..... again" - guess they must have already met you somewhere?

A Ducati isn't an Opera bike. They need someone on a Moto Guzzi California.

A fine bike, that is. Quite a modern classic. You lot haven't checked the 'Bike Trader' section recently, have you?

The story of my life. I remember the 60's and 70's. Those halycon days of free love and flower power, where gorgeous chicks were sleeping with anyone. Anyone but me that is; it never happened to me. They never lost interest as they never had any. Well they are all fat now, Huh!

I went to see that Opera, they used a baby virago or something in the end.

Aaargh - It's True!! Italian bike owners ARE classy!

[crashe]

My baby is a Virago and she has been on a stage many a time since I have owned her.... so what a pity that I didn't know about this show....lol...
tis a bummer that I aint a slim thing thou... or have long black hair....

I have even ridden my bike in the Auckland Civic Theatre on the stage twice now..... first time they made a ramp out the back for a number of bikes to ride up.... and the second time I took the bike up and down the lift..... fitted in no sweat. So my baby has been in the Civic twice now. She has even been inside a big hotel in the city as well in once of the big function rooms in an event.

And since mine is, I believe the only black and white virago around town, she does look like a Harley from a distance. (unless someone has spotted another out there)

Oh darn, there goes my chance at fame

[Riff Raff]

I could do it on my Rebel - the average punter probably wouldn't know the difference. Had long black hair in my younger gothic days. Already had my shot of fame and fortune starring on Coromandel Med - hmmm probably not something to brag about . I'm used to regularly making a fool of myself. Yup, sounds like a good career move for me.

Ahem - might just pay to look at the start date of this particular thread.
