RE: I'm sooooo tempted...

*chuckle*

I find it amusing that I'm now an "older biker" ... *grin*

Remember that I'm 220lbs and so even a Fireblade would have a bit of a
disadvantage with it's power to weight ratio! Anyway - SWMBO says no and so
I suppose I'd better not. Mind you - she said that I was now banned from
sticking the projector up on the ceiling and I might do that while she's
away.

By the way Ian ... I haven't forgotten your pics CD ... I'm just cutting a
batch of CDs for various people and getting them together to send out in
one.
