Skaheadpunk (love the name, btw). Congrats on your first trip. Now, learn to ride a motorbike, and take a trip up to the Isle Of Skye.

You'll love it, trust me!

I can :). She's not road worthy at the moment though! I tinker with her more than I ride.


Sadly... on the way home around Luton my exhaust broke. So though it's still all there and accounted for, the lack of attachment is making an intermittent screeching noise... and will do until I come up with the cash to have it replaced! Think I can weld it to hold for a while though.

At 75 she's grasped the principle of email (ie, a letter on the computer), but beyond that... and she can't type, she says it's too different from the typewriter she used to use at work. Mac/PC means absolutely zero, but my grandpa was quite freaked out about my dock, since his computer doesn't have one!
