    certainly will give it a shot, but first you have to tell me what
    the aaodg stands for! and spagthorpe doberman forsooth!! that was
    a thoroughbred spagthorpe wolf, sir... some people argue that it
    doesnt fit into the 'true' spagthorpe family citing features such
    as its colours and pedigree, but one and all admit that it was the
    most vicious spagthorpe that bit a postman!

    ;-). charlieS claims (and i lay emphasis on this word) that he
    owns and rides an 851. i beleive that he might have possibly
    had an opportunity to smell the fumes of one while tooling around
    on his bmw cyclecage.

    you on the other hand, conform to the fine tradition of somebody
    looking exactly what i had pictured them as, based on their
    pictures at cerritos ;-) ;-). it was nice meeting you, though i
    wish i had had more time to sit and enlighten you (others call
    this 'argue with you') on various subjects of disagreement ;-).
    most people i meet at rec.moto get togethers expect me to have
    been a lot bigger and some a lot older. i am sure the best
    surprise for most would be meeting chrisB after reading his old
    pharte posts on rec.moto!

    i must say pops is the only person who looks and posts like pops
    ;-). that doesnt make you any less an old pharte though!
