    Et tu, Brute.

    Sibyl paid me a vist today (no, not that Sibyl, she's got her hands full with Basil and Manuel. The wise and prophesying Sibyl. She of the Golden Bough)

    The Quadrumvirate is now a Triumvirate, it seems. Aye, the Heaven Born have turned upon one of their own.

    And a goodly man ,a gentleman indeed, has covered his face with his toga.

    He's been here a long time , longer than most, and contributed a lot to the site, and to motorcycling. A biker of the fine old school (not many of them around now, wonder why) .

    He deserved better than a knife in the back.

    But perhaps we will hear that he was ambitious. And they are honourable men (and woman) the Heaven Born.Or perhaps he did not meet his infraction quota. If it were so, it was a grievous fault,And grievously hath he answered it.

    "Et Thybrim multo spumantem sanguine cerno" Sibyl said to me. I dare say this latest blood shed upon these Forum steps will not be the last.

    So the chicken entrails spoke the truth??
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    You've identified the fact that this website is privately owned, as was brought up so well by OAB.

    However, this forum wouldn't be what it is without the contribution of its thousands of members. And you can, to a certain extent, exert control over members on this site. This is because we community members value said community sufficiently enough to tolerate a small amount of bureaucracy.

    And hey, this websites pretty popular now, and its getting a bit of publicity in various magazines. So I guess that makes us something of a commodity.

    Baaaaaa....

    'Final' third thanks.

    4 years ago I was worried i would run out. The enormity of that erroneousness has me reaching for the thesauraus lest I alude to alliteration.

    And I've only fallen back on the open with a literary quote gambit twice.

    Welcome back Ixion and I'd say there's no need to ever go away again.

    Now can you go retrieve grumpy old Motu and get him back? He'd be enjoying Paul's story on the FZR400EXUP and offering advice I am sure.
    Cheers
