Me. I'm not exactly (in fact hardly at all) between N-u-L and
Aylesbury, but I'm not so far away from Stratford.

And, you could have a go on a ZX10R and realise what a mistake you'd
made.

Hmmm, I'd have to work out a route from N-u-L to yours without too much
motorway.

Gawd, that's a pain in the arse.

I'm very, very scared of ZX10Rs. Really. They make my palms sweat just
thinking about them.

Ah, you'll be in much, much better shape than me, then.

How about Snowy? Will there be Snowy?

Never mind all that, I'd check the "potable water" situation before you
commit.

It is, but it's possible to make a route through Ferrier territory
(Bridgenorth) and down thru Kidderminster

Probably not. Despite the fact that she lives no more than 2 miles
away, I've not seen her for several years. Wise girl, eh?

<checks map>

Well Leeds isn't exactly local to NuL either but there is decent crash space
and secure parking. Bit far for a FOT but not impossible. 2 hours down at
Ducati speed, bit longer on an Aprilia.
..

and you will be running it in of course.

SOP for any journey north of Watford, surely? Has been for decades.

Based on my previous experience of Aprilias, the RSV should do the ton
at the recommended maximum running-in rpm.

Of course, holding it there for a prolonged period is almost exactly the
wrong way to run it in, but brief sojourns up to ~120mph shouldn't be a
problem.

As that's ancient history and she's no longer here ... you didn't get
any photos of her naked that you'd be willing share, did you?

Yeah, but I've already asked her if she's got naked photos of herself
and she says she hasn't.

Well, I've learnt many things on this newsgroup, and one of them is
never to let anyone else take naked photos of you in case they end up
on the internet.

You probably mis-understood. We probably *meant* to say, "Post naked photos
now!"

Almost certainly, now that I think about it.

Anyway, it's lovely to see you, dear - do you still have (a) a motorbike and
(b) bedroom curtains that don't meet in the middle?

She sold the bike to me. I took it to Frankfurt, and several other places,
and am in the process of binlinering it.

As for the curtains not meeting in the middle...
