Hello there GRUNDA 12 --------------hope you had a good Donk-Donk rally ?? You'll have to give us a quick report on that one. I see from the latest "Gun" that The Reindeer is looking more hospitable than its' last showing in the mag (RAIN !! & Cobbles do not a happy biker make "). Any chance you and the lads can get over to N.Wales when we do our ride to the REAL village at Portmerion ?? The Ponderosa at Llangollen}----------http://www.ponderosacafe.co.uk/----------- is the place to meet. Hope you've got a steady hand for that Mig welder on those Th------------------------------in silencers ?? Have a nice day and }--ABYSSINIA ( Hah !! beat that then ).

Hello there, matey !! Are you now trying to expand into Star Trek territory ??}--(hi alan the photon in the gun is----)...........Ah, yes--the old "Reindeer v The Shoulder of Mutton" conundrum. ......You see, as a "spotty-yoof" in Dahn-sarf land I was nurtured on Courage alkafrolic fluid, whose long-term effects include Crass Stupidity ( I very NEARLY re-married) and PUB-Blindness. Not to worry though as Jake-the-Slake's elixir of OLD SCROTUM SPECIAL seems to have held back the worst of it. As fuel economy is a "Sign of the times"---and thus keeping to the theme of this posting-----did I read that correctly ??? A diesel Harley ?? How do you tell that it's a diesel ?? Can't be by the sound--- must be drastically different to look at then. Did al go well on your journeys--no probs to mention?? Best regards---I'm not a number, I'm a free man !! HAAAAAARRRR-HARRRRR - HAARRRR.

Paul,
I saw an interesting pic the other day of a 1982 CB750F with a diesel in it. Bit of a drop in top speed I would think

Bad news Paul I just saw an article headed "WHO confirms diesel fumes carcinogenic" but hopefully you spend most of your time infront of the fumes
