Good Day At The Bike Show

[sunny-dave]

Really good fun - buzzy and friendly and generally a nice place to be.

I now know which bike I want to have a decent test ride on - interestingly it's neither of the two original suspects I went specifically to kick the tyres of, both of which were chronically uncomfortable for someone of my height/size/whatever.

So, if the test ride is good, ... please Santa can I have a Kawasaki Z1000SX tourer ...

PS - even in 2014 the Bike business doesn't quite 'get' the fact that women ride bikes too - it must be the only surviving business to employ "dolly birds in tiny bikini tops" to encourage the punters - I thought you couldn't do that these days - I didn't know where to look ....

I always wanted a Norton Dominator, never got one!

The care home where I'm about to start work was the family home of the Norton family, originally a nine bedroomed house.

That old house sounds interesting, RATTER. When do you start your new job ?.

[RATTER15]

Not sure yet Tony, still waiting for CRB and references to go through.

[tonyav]

Right, how long do these CRB checks take to go through ?.

[sunny-dave]

Zacs - I don't like the BMWs I can afford, and I can't afford the ones I like :+)

[RATTER15]

My first CRB took four months my last CRB took 10 days, now that I am in the system they tend to be a bit quicker I think.

[tonyav]

Fingers crossed that it's a quicky then, RATTER.
