Hey,just as I wrote this two Vincents just rode past my door!

No way !!! ... thats a bit Twighlight-Zone-ish

OK, this is the last lot, I promise. Thought I'd sneak in a mens-style ad as well...

"Ask for Brylcreem - its emulsified for clean grooming"

Ah,the Dandy.....I rode one once,before I knew how to ride.It didn't help my co-ordination in that it had a sort of pre-select 2 speed gearbox.

Oh shit, I love that . . . so, you're in gear, right, in a 2 speed gear box, and you have to TELL the gear box which gear you are going to select next??? What fking gear does it think you are going to try for? Third, perhaps?

That makes modern gear boxes look positively telepathic.
