    Gargre's

    First things first, why aren't these spelt properly? Is there a distinction between a garage and a gargre (I'm thinking one is at home, one costs more)?

    Secondly, what am I gonna do with my spankingish new GN250 since I don't have a gargre/carport?

    On this site the repository whence one retrieves ones scoot from is known as a 'gargre', lesser mortals only have a garage but we KBers have been blessed with gargres!!!
    (except for the poor sods who have to leave their scoot out on the street or similar.)

    They are spelled properly. Even Mr Hitcher agrees. The palce where a motorcycle lives is a gargre.

    AS for where you keep the GN250, what's wrong with the lounge ?. Or failing that a verandah ? GN250s should go up and down steps pretty good.

    Get a waterproof bike cover. Your helpful bike shop will no doubt relieve you of some cash in exchange for one.

    Good luck with the new bike. Those GNs are fun to ride.

    Gee, you have no gargre or caport and we have five car gargring... which means we can fit more than five bikes.

    Glad I don't live in the city and have to leave my bike outside - hell, ours even have covers on them in the garage!
    Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!

    Do a search on a "member" by the name of Sk8r_Boi_ have a read through some of the threads he posted in and you'll find the origins. Not to mention have a laugh along the way.

    Uh, dunno what's happening with the double post, I edited something and it came up twice - please feel free to delete this one whoever has the power!
    You can do that yourself. Go to Edit on one of the 2, next screen has an option to delete...
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
