Oh, the old "I can't afford it" story. Proves you are still young. Only 'old buggers' can afford to travel at will.

Well since you "can afford to travel at will", as you put it why don't you come to Hamilton? Be glad to tell you that 26-27 is old.

*refers to diary*....mmmmmm.....I could fit that in sometime in 2011/2012. Perhaps you'll have changed your mind as to what is 'old' then?

Ever heard the phrase you're only as old as you feel? Yea by that time I wont think it's ol but I'll still think that 5 or 6 years older than me is old.

Aaaah...the naive arrogance of youth.....I (think I) remember it well. You can't be all bad tho - you are a Nazareth fan. Mrs M won't let me play 'The Ballad of Hollis Brown' . Isn't that just too sad? (not being able to play it , I mean)

Yea that sucks mate, good song. And I may be a young pup compared to you

but you can't fault me on my taste in music, though I listen to metal for the mostpart (pantera, godmsack, slipknot, cradle of filth, ect,ect) the good stuff was all back in the day. Iron Butterfly, Nazareth, Kiss, Van Halen, Ted Nungent (may have spelt that wrong) and such.

Now I'm off to get some oil and a new set of spark plugs. Bike was missfireing on number one cylinder. Gonna change the oil and new plugs gonna be sweet.

XX is twenty isn't it?

Yep, My hair is perfect.

Oh, and make mine a Pina Colada, thanks. Goes well with Beef Chow Mein, I guess.

Krusti - do you ever go to the Okoroire pub? My wife and I sometimes nip over for a ride and a bit of tea on a weekday.

Geoff

We went there more before we shifted here! Always the story eh?

Give us a shout next time

As for being old well at least you aren't senile yet!

Freedom Riders host it at the racecourse, small rally, great guys. Not advertised much. We seem to be the furthest riders.

When you get into an argument with someone who is sure Elton John never sang with any one called KeKeDee. (Still cant spell it tho)

When you remember changing to the metric system!

That new fangled metric system will never work. Me bike does 53mpg at 60mph and we live on a quarter acre section. Also working out 6.32% of 3 pound 6 and ninepence is a breeze. The tappets are set at 6 thou and the gun is a .22 (scary).

We even had to sit a test to ensure we could understand decimal currency. Think I passed

Better shuffle off before I start reminiscing...

I spent my school days working in pounds shillings and pence,feet and miles,ounces and pounds,pints and gallons - never could figure it out,then it was all flushed down the drain - what a waste of a childs life....

Do they have a metric language system? I had real problems with verbs and nouns,adjectives and pronouns,punctuation marks,paragraphs - I haven't figured that one out yet either....I'd like a metric system so I don't get confused on where to put my i's and e's.
