Well done YC. In the time I've known you you have managed to seemingly convert me from knowing nothing about motorbikes (except that they have 2 wheels) to a can-actually-string-a-decent-conversation-with-a-complete-stranger-about....
BIKES

Last night in the pub. Usually YC has to start chatting about bikes but last night twas just little ol' me
So now not only do I ride pillion, but I actually read bike mags and don't just look at the pictures (have actually purchased one myself before to read an article that actually interested me), I will soon be learning to ride, I drool at every nice bike in the neighbourhood and adore the loud growls of meaty exhausts.
Now this may just seem like another one of my pointless threads but it amuses me that 3 years ago I wouldn't have thought twice about bikes, let alone even contemplate learning to ride one myself and yet here I am raring to vroom off into the sunset!
So thankyou babes
tis all your fault my family think am a hooligan.... 
OH and I forgot to mention I'd never have met you 'orrible lot - some would say that would be a blessing
