I thought that'd gone some time ago John. Someone was asking me for a
complete set-up a couple of weeks ago and that'd have been perfect. Bugger.

How's the biking going now the weather's turning? I'm about to coat my bikes
with ACF 50 and hope for the best:-)

And how come you're not on the bike group now?

Hello Kev, long time no speak an' all that.

I decided not to push the heli sale too hard as I had a couple of great
flights and started to wonder if I should just keep it. I've since got
quite serious about playing guitar again so went and bought myself a nice
Engl valve combo - so I *need* to sell the heli now to pay for the fekker.

Bike-wise, I only use it on nice days so basically hardly ever lately. I'm
ready to grease 'er up and lock away for the winter (I'll probably do that
today). I've read some good things about ACF 50 - where'd ya buy it & how
dear is it?

BTW How's the big Z? How many miles on it now? Dropped it yet?

Regarding the bike group, well they were mostly twats so I dedcided to give
that a miss. Ask any of them what they think of me and you'll find there's
a mutual sort of thing going on.

Anyway, good to hear from you again Kev. All the best.

I've been a guitar player for 40 odd years too (not that you've been at it
that long:-)

I've got a mini recording studio in what was my son's bedroom. Guitars all
over the place, a Techincs piano used as both a piano and a midi controller
for my synths and effects boxes (RP7/Pod/Pod II/Alesis quadraverb) all
linked to a puter through a Studiomaster 12/2 desk. Summat to do when it's
pissing down:-)

I've just clocked up 6 thousand on the Zed without a problem other than two
punctures, both within a week of changing the f.cking tyres!.

I'm

I tried ordering some from my local accesories shop, but they've not been
back on to me telling me it's "in", so I don't know. If I've not heard by
the weekend, I'm going to spray the bikes with waxoil from a new waxoil gun.
If everything's clean (the gun and with new waxoil) it goes on clear, so if
you get a good day between now and end of hibernation, you can ride the bike
without it looking like a shed. At least, that's what I've heard, but I'm
happy to give it a try, if this ACF 50 proves to be a twat to find.

Brilliant. 6,200 and no:-)

They are when you first "appear", but they soon get weary of banging the
same drum and it doesn't take long for another target to appear. They're
NOTHING like that in real life though, I can tell you that. I met a few at
their End of season meeting a month or so back and in the real world,
they're just like anyone else. Weird or what?

Ask any of them what they think of me and you'll find there's

I gathered, but I thought you'd stick with it. Mind you, there was a bit of
"to-ing and fro-ing" going on :-)

You too John, and if you decide to take a ride south of the borders, give us
a bell.

I'll send you my number by e-mail if your addy works. If not, e-mail me with
one that does eh?

Best of luck with the sale too. It's a good deal for someone.
