I don't give tinker's what other people think. it is still my
considered opinion that there is a big wide wonderful world out there
and if you chose to ride a motor cycle and are proud of it - good on
you! Incidentally, after your accident Tony, someone has down a first
class repair job for you?

A little bit of tangential thinking (and more than a little tolerance)
can make this world so much more enjoyable for everyone, whatever one's
political leanings may be?. The addition of epithets and insults duly
published (passed by our moderator, so-ipso facto, - agreed with?) just
do not reflect well on the writer. Hurling ill thought out and
calculatedly rude abuse at one's perceived opponent displays one's own
very poor taste and just lowers considerably the opinion others will
eventually have of the writer.

It's taken me 84 years to find that there is more than one way of
killing the cat?

Very best regards,

G.

There you are Mal, - pick the bones out of that one!
