But that figure might as well of been £10.60 given that I've had to replace them twice in 4,000 kilometres

Missed a cowl the other day. We also have the Iron Pony locally, which has really killer Ebay worthy deals and you can even try the stuff on.

No, bottled beer is just over a quid and 20 cigs about the same

Glad I gave up smoking though. Any saving I made will probably get eaten up repairing the bike at some stage

Nah, sh1t's blown over now. Last SMS said, "I'm sorry, I spoke to person who said you'd been speaking bad about me. She say she not like you so not want us to be friends ,blah, blah, blah."

That's it, all finished. Anyway, I had a trick up my sleeve if this had continued much longer...

So, now I'm in the free and clear and not about to be assassinated, it's time to pay far more attention on Akira and get her up and running again so I can get out and find me another nutter
