Who told that bloke he could sing? I can do better in the shower. He should stick to his day job.

AlanR: The Beatles, Elvis, Ann Murray and others, but I really don`t remember the 60`s as I was riding my BSA Golden Flash, a machine which only broke down once with a broken dynamo chain on a trip from Brisbane to Adelaide and back, a truly trouble-free machine.

Good song Allan R the snow cold and filthy streets of New York for the warmth sunshine and cleanness of California, no contest, the woman had the right idea.
It is our summer in Australia now. The weather here is fine and beautifully warm just the right riding weather and I am sitting home with my Royal Enfield in pieces in my garage due to a cam spindle rattling its self out. I really have had just about enough of this motorcycle. When I have finished it I will be putting it up for sale and going back to a Japanese motorcycle. New York = Royal Enfield... California = Yamaha Honda Kawasaki Suzuki.
