At least we know what you paid for it - so when it comes up for sale you can't tell us porkies  :porkies

The trailer is great - ideal to haul those steamplants along to the next exhibition :)

Always fancied a Goldwing trike myself, but I could never justify it, or convince my wife to let me buy it! :(

Don't worry lads, there is even a holder for my white stick, the main problem is I couldn't find the crank handle to start it. Now if I could just find my pebble glasses, I might be able to read the manual.

Got a bit of a shock today, called up the insurance agent, and was duly listed as a 'born again biker'. A sure sign age is creeping up on you.

Just got to get the intercom plugged in, and the wife will be able to tell me which way to turn the steering wheel, if I can find it.

I hope this puts your minds at rest. But for a bit of a warning, I will be out on the motorway this weekend, don't know which one yet. Now, do I drive on the right or left?

Just do what most "born again bikers" do John..... Drive down the white line in the centre of the road!  :whistle

Hello Eddy and all PD's.
Congrats on the new car. In case you do the big tour and bring it to Australia, you should know that it is the mandatory rule of Volvo drivers to travel in the outside lane and at least 10kmh below the gazetted speed limit for that section of road in this great country. You will then get to understand why we shout "bloody Volvo drivers" as we get to pass them.

Cheers
Misterbee.
