Hello mate,

You have u2u.

[yeti]

Just to let you know I sold the bike - sunbject to contract. Thanks everyone for your interest. More than 300 of you logged on to the website to look at the bike. Looks like it's going to a good home.

[Redruth]

Actually, Yeti, at least 50 of those log ons were mine

[yeti]

OK, it's out now. I was going to keep it quiet, but my bike is going to a WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my God, how will I ever live this down? I did sell the bike with several conditions however. These are that said lady does the following:

Several track days on her own bike BEFORE getting access to mine.

Reads Twist of the Wrist 1 and 2 and sits a multi choice questionnaire afterwards.

Watches 2 years worth of old BSB footage.

Researches and understands what ALL the fancy bits do, and can prove that she knows how to set them up correctly.

Pays me an enormous wedge for said bike.

Lets me ride it one last time before parting with it.

Anything else I can think of between now and when she takes delivery!

Truly a sad day for me, but I know that Ruth will look after my beloved even if she hasn't the faintest idea what she's buying!

Seriously chaps, Ruth is deadly serious about upping her game, and I know she'll be looking to you lot to help her out on occassion. Still a sad sad day though

Yeti
Sorry, mate. I feel your pain.

Ruth
YOU JAM STRANGLER!

Good on ya!

[Redruth]

Ok, Yeti, those are NOT the conditions we discussed I plan to learn about all the twiddly bits gradually. You know how dangerous it is to overload a woman's brain. Half the stuff will be beyond comprehension anyway. The only way for me to appreciate the bike is to ride it, which ain't happening for a few weeks, as we both know - oh, except that you did say you might bring it down to Mallory and I can take it on the track there .... didn't you? If I bin it, I buy it (your words) but as I'm buying it anyway ...

Loz - What is a 'jam strangler'

[Loz]

Jam strangler n. a fortunate person; one who is lucky; a jammy git.

[Redruth]

Loz: That'll be me then.

Yeti, honestly, I have not got your licence. I've never seen your licence and if I could help you find it, I would. Keep looking. Did you ever photocopy it for any reason, eg when sending it off to have points put on it? (sorry it that's a total bloody insult).

[yeti]

Think they would accept my pilots licence? Got a good old fashioned UK CAA one, a nice shiny US FAA one and a rather strange but tatty Malaysian one, surely one should be enough!!!!!!!!!

Don't you need a pilot's licence at Cadwell for The Mountain?
