To judge from the auction and the seller, there'sll be problems a-
plenty.

Good points - it's a late one with separate oiling. Bad points - still
has the odd gearshift pattern and, like I said, be prepared for a lot
of fixing-up. £500 was a lot of money to pay, IMHO.

Maybe not ;) Must admit I'm just looking forward to tinkering :) It's been
ages since I tinkered with a stroker.

My daughter was 16 a couple of months ago and has shown no interest in
motorbikes. At. All.

This is the nearest she came to showing any enthusiasm:

I won't post links to pics of my kids, but they are out there if you
know where to look. All three of my girls are over 16 now - I'm scared.

Indeed not, and, crikey.

I recall you saying her mum looked like Audrey Hepburn when you met
her; fortunately for Jess, she seems to have got her looks from her
mother's side.
