You know it's the weirdest feeling sitting on the loo with a helmet on! You know, when stop for gas and a quick pee but you're in too much of a hurry to take the lid off.....s'pose you dont.

Ah Jersey - I heard somewhere that you have to be a two-digit millionaire (in pounds mind you) to even be allowed to move there. Surely that can't be true or are all servants cross-border workers?

Yeah, but somehow the link on rotten.com doesn't work anymore. "Nothing gets between me and my harley!"

Yes your bang on,they employ qualified people for the "jobs", saves the expense of training the locals.but you can't really settle there without housing quallies and a shed load of money BUT if you've got big money you don't need any quallies at all.

.Still gorgeous place.An ordinary 3 bed semi house costs circa $1,200,000.sorry rambling again.

Yeah I read all his books when I was a kid! He turned me into the hippy I am today! I even joined the "Dodo Club" (junior membership of the JWPT). Ah, those were the good old days when I was going to marry Gerald and change the world.

As a result of that I've sent a lot of letters to Jersey. Mostly love letters addressed to Gerald Durrell from an 8-year-old.

Err, thanks martybabe (I felt a little uncomfortable typing that). You're obviously endowed with a great deal of taste to not only move to NZ, but also to buy one of the best handling (by all accounts I have read - I've yet to steal a ride on one yet) HD big blocks of recent years.

Klingon - I was a Dodo as well! Started reading the books at 12 thanks to a very kindly Form 2 teacher who lent me this collection. Of books. Written by Gerald Durrell. I'm not sure an 8 year old girl should be reading things like, "The only ball game I enjoy, my good sir, is sex."

Which is a very good lesson on how to shut up taxi drivers who rave on about Cricket.

Waddabout some goggles to go with your piss pot? They are pretty high tech these days. Heaps better than sunnies. My similarly afflicted hog ridin colleague uses Spy and Wiley X brands. And he's got an HD windscreen. Hope this helps.
