So if pheloxi says so you must be 1001%xcentric.

I say only good things

either that or Deeply Disturbed !

Kinda like the terrorist / freedom fighter distinction.

sorry, in a bit of a black mood today

but my probs are not yours, hows the library today, anyone tried to burn it down again yet?

Icky stay positive

I do not believe you are deeply disturbed, more deeply anoyed with something.

Octopussy Power!

Poor Icky, well if your not talking I hope whatever's going on I hope it sorts itself out soon.

The library is still full of sports students, they have some sort of external assesment coming up and they are a 'little' behind with their work. They've been staked out in the computer room by a couple of tutors all week and are becoming slightly restless. Roll on the weekend.

I'm going out for a bike lesson on Saturday, hope the weather cheers up a bit.

succes with bike lesson...will alarm your neighbourhood

There are a few other people out there who are a bit worried about the whole thing too.

sees Odo as leather biker

Eventually

oh la la

for the thoughts guys!

You go Odo! I do hope it clears up a bit for your test, but you have to ride in the p*ssing rain and the snow and through mud and ice and so on for a few years so that you can then go 'been there, done that, lets use the car!'

Ar, when i were a lad, I remember riding through blizzards with both feet on the ground and turning up looking like a mobile Hells Snowman

Wot they got you riding?

I certainly hope the it doesn't rain all day tomorrow. I've not booked a test as yet, but hopefully I'll do one early in the spring sometime.

I'll be on a 125 for most of tomorrow. What I really want to know is if I'm tall enough to be able to cope with a 5oocc because there's a Suzuki I could use (depends how drunk my friend was when the offer was made ) in the garage.

what 500cc is it? And how tall are you?

Just remember, if you turn up somewhere on a bike, soaked from head to foot and dripping water everywhere, no matter how well or how affectionately you know the person you are visiting, they will laugh at you. It's the law I'm afraid

500 ain;t big. Well, unless it's a traily or something!

I think it's a Suzuki SR 500E (is this possible?) I'm not 100% sure that I've got the right letters though or if they're in the right order. I'm just over 5ft 3". I suppose as he's buying himself a new one to use whilst he's working in Europe and he wants something a bit bigger he wouldn't mind too much if the seat needed to be cut out a bit.

Is that why you have to carry a ?

bikes are like yeties a big mistery

Ooopps, sorry. I think we got a little carried away.

carry me, please!

OK, well, SRs are Yamahas.
There is such a thing as an SR500, which is a road bike with a 500cc single in it borrowed from the XT500. Big singles are notoriously fun to start It is an old bike as well.....late 70's early 80's?

The 500E is a Suzuki and is a GS. It's a commuter bike and quite small really, uses a twin cylinder engine, very good as a bigish first bike but you will bore of it quickly (but if it's free....) and 5'3" shouldn;t be too much of a problem on it.

* Roars in, scoops up pheloxi and places him on a very comfortable pillion seat. He's now wearing full protection with ear muffs under his helmet. *

All set then?

It's definitely a Suzuki 500, I told you I couldn't remember exactly what type. Anyway hopefully I'll be able to manage it, and it'll give me something to get started on. Being a reasonable size it might stop certain people worrying about me a bit, possibly, that's a bit doubtful really.

HO hum, we'll see how it goes tomorrow.
