Did I mention before this Motorcycle gig is Expensive..?

Eloisa needs some new Tires (or Tyres depending on where you're located on the globe, either way they're big round black rubber things which hopefully are the only items on your motorcycle that make contact with the road surface, if they're not you've either got something very loosely connected or even worse; you're screaming very loudly at this moment and reading this little advice is probably to late!). So after a little research and a bit of a Pow Wow with all the Top Boys and Girls on the XRV.ORG a specific brand and type of booty was selected for her ladyship to shod, along with new Brake Pads front and rear (these are the things that stop you before your end up 'screaming very loudly' (see above), and therefore of uppermost importance), and a new heavy duty chain and sproket set.

Oh and did I mention I needed my carbs balanced (I've got know idea at all what that is, just Biking Lingo for something that envloves a slightly higher degree of skill than I currently posses, though I'm told by everyone that knows how to do it that its very easy, isn't that always the way! ;o) )

And wouldn't you beleive it, just a few weeks before I have to leave Chichester and move to sunny, windy and very very flat Cambridgeshire (The biggest advantage about Cambridgeshire I've found so far is that most of their speed cameras are forward facing!!! Yippee :o)))) (For you non-bikers out there, motorcycles don't display registration plates at the front, hence the happiness!)), I find a Tame Ex-Honda Motorcycle mechanic just up the road from me to do all the work at a more than reasonable price, fantastic :o) He only charged me a few hours labour ontop of the parts prices, that and he managed to greese and lubricate almost everything on Elosia while he was there (I'm never ever gonna find a Guy like that again, he loved her to peices!).

Anyways, no exact figures here, but that lot aint cheap, worth it admitedly, shes running just peachy, well almost, it's now confirmed that my steering head bearings are on there way out... Ummm again I have no idea what that means, but it does sound serious doesn't it!

But hey on the upside, for my Birthday I bought her lots of nice things, a new Tank Bag, some new standy up on things, a mesh headlight protector, a new touring screen, a new battery and various other little bits. That, and I had to spend almost £500 on getting her an Alarm fitted because the new abode doesn't have a garage! But then again, she has also had a very nice freebie :o) My 'Olds' and other members of my family donated some cash over Christmas and the 'Getting even older' period and purchased me a Personalised Index for her "A7 XRV"... ('XRV' is the Bike Model, its short for Africa Twin!)... The full current Modification list to Eloisa is here!

So about this Lottery win? ;o)

"I know most of you have been where I am tonight: the crash site of unrequited love. You've asked yourself, how did I get here? What was it about--was it her smile, Was it the way she crossed her legs, the turn of her ankle? The poignant vulnerability of her slender wrists? What are these elusive and ephemeral things that ignite passion in the human heart?...."

"That's an age-old question; it's perfect food for thought on a bright midsummer's night. Hey, you said it best, Will: "Love looks not with eyes but with the mind, And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind." Yeah....."

"Well one day I was at home threatening the kids when I looks out through the hole in the wall and sees this tank pull up and out gets one of Dinsdale's boys, so he comes in nice and friendly and says Dinsdale wants to have a word with me, so he chains me to the back of the tank and takes me for a scrape round to Dinsdale's place and Dinsdale's there in the conversation pit with Doug and Charles Paisley, the baby crusher, and two film producers and a man they called 'Kierkegaard', who just sat there biting the heads of whippets and Dinsdale says 'I hear you've been a naughty boy Clement' and he splits me nostrils open and saws me leg off and pulls me liver out and I tell him my name's not Clement and then... he loses his temper and nails me head to the floor..."

"If u hold back anything Ill kill ya. If u bend the truth or I think your bending the truth, Ill kill ya. If u forget anything Ill kill ya. In fact ur gonna have to work very hard to stay alive. Now do u understand everything Ive said? Because if u dont, Ill kill ya...."

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. "

The details of my life are quite inconsequential... very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds- pretty standard really. At the age of twelve I received my first scribe. At the age of fourteen a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum... it's breathtaking- I highly suggest you try it.

**********

Love comes when manipulation stops. When you think more about the other person than about his or her reaction to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.
