    Maybe we can make it an election issue! Cheers John.

    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Gosh...you oldies are being a little harsh on us newbies!

    We're learning the KB ways as fast as we can you know...

    The only "cruiser" I know who says sprotbikes abundantly is Master Hitcher, and heaven forbids I should imply he is dislexic!

    I think it's actually quite a cute term, so I don't mind...

    Mr Hitcher is most emphatically not a cruiser, nor even a crusier.

    This from the person who insists that all cruisers are "hogs"?

    Can you name the first group he was with, and the group he formed when he split from them? I can.
