RM.  I was in the old airforce flying out of Baghdad, flying Mk3 flying carpets with snow modifications, back in the day when telecommunications was a rams horn and our latest altimeter's and night flying device was silk rope with a lead sinker on it, you threw it over the side and if it came back with blood on it you knew you were over a town, yes indeedy the old airforce, Mortis  was a Rigger, Hephaestus was a fitter. Leonardo was an A/C refinisher, and vulcan was a metal basher so of course  I saw the sea part, it was one of our squadron parties that started the hole thing off an if you'll stand me another suds me son I'll regale you with feats of daring do, the like that has not been seen in hundreds of years.

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Gosh....I wonder what my KO would be worth by the time I hit 80? ;D I told my wife the other day the first bike I would probably have to sell to do age is my 2000 Wing. The 750's are pretty easy to ride even for the ol' duffers. HAPPY BIRTHDAY Demon...
