    Thanks Malcolm, it is a relief to know it is in and ready to be sat on so we can think of Bruce and eat fish and chips or something. Will take a little trip to the SPCA with the left over dosh soon too.

    You've seen Malcolm, eh? I think his being whippet thin somehow gives the impression of height.

    That Monster is designed for cool wee folk like yourself. I think you should wait for the run out specials on the S4Rs start appearing as the new model gets released and hock the Hornet in. Or wait for Malcolm to get desperate for cash when he decides to buy a Desmosedieci as his road bike.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Popped in to see the seat on the way to work this morning and it looks great. The plaque is awesome. So much so that I fear it will inevitably be the victim of vandalism.

    Only a phone shot........

    I'm thinking the same thing when I had a look last night. I felt like I didn't want to draw attention to it by sitting down as there were some evil lower hutt youths lurking (lowercase intentional). I'll wait.

    The visual integrity of the seat isn't the most important thing anyway. Maybe if we put a suzuki sticker on it then the miscreants will leave it alone? (again lcase intentional)

    I'd be more worried about the tree behind it.

    Well, at least it is where I asked them to put it, good on them (the Council), I have to say that the lady I was dealing with there was very helpful and sympathetic to the significance of it.
    In case anyone was wondering too, the council are in charge of keeping the seat looking nice, cleaning off graffiti and bird poop too hopefully. I asked about painting the seat, but apparently the green is a deterrent for taggers... so go figure.

    I totally agree. We will always know the significance of it regardless of any vandalism.

    Don't sink into the tar swamp! You'll have to keep moving to avoid it.
