if ya still need a screen Visual plastics in Hamilton are usually better priced than a factory screen
Ohh a bloody good news about the forks

Excellent news mate. Did you remember to claim for the 40 year old Glenmorangie you just happened to be carrying??

Do I detect a whiff of other members of the Glenmorangie appreciation society??

Amongst other malts of distinction. I have a bottle of Solera reserve I haven't cracked yet. Find me an excuse

[Hitcher]

That would have been nice. But actually I'm an Islay Malt fan.

Those highland malts are a bit sharp. Not enough of the wet dog fur taste to them...

You have to appreciate both on their merits. While the Lagavulin 15 year takes a power of beating (it's unbeatable actually) in any company, Glenmorangie is a fine and elegant drop -- particularly the port barrel stuff. Similarly the Macallan. And don't forget about those lovely tipples from Campbelltown...

If somebody volunteers the Bluff oysters, I may be persuaded to blow the dust of my malt locker. But only for a good cause...

I just happen to have an open one of those at home which is only a quarter emptied...

I feel a tasting night coming on...

I like Speyside single malts too.

With the possible exception of Glenfiddich??

You mean it's three-quarters full??

As for a tasting night, I have contacts to the world's best haggis, if that helps...

[Hitcher]

Enough of this foreplay.

Let's do a tasting night. I recommend two flights, one of Highland malts and one of Island malts. Three malts per flight, the Highlands to start, then halftime haggis, with the Island malts to follow.

I'll have a rummage in my malt locker and profer some suggestions for the Highland flight contenders. For the Island flight, may I recommend Bowmore, Jura and Highland Park (go for different islands, rather than an Islay only flight)??

For half time entertainment, I have an excellent tequila that has been on oak for 15 years. I am sure that anybody with a palate for malts would appreciate its subtleties...

That's one of them "mass-market" ones, innit?

Count me in. I will supply the three-quarters-full Lagavulin.

What is the address for the wrecker in Aussie - they might have some gearbox bits.

I've got an assortment of mirrors and indicators in the shed from the GS1000L that I dismantled. If you want to have a pick over them, come on round. Might not be exactly what you're after but if they get you on the road until you can find the real thing...

I've been talking to Lou. Thoroughly decent chap.

I will try and pop over and see you in the next couple of days Pete. Good luck with the fizzer parts. I know they DEFINITELY have a 1987 FZR1000. Doesn't have any forks now though!
