Hi Ian, Don't know if thats good for a G80, but - Standard road bike,408cc 4cyl 6speed, standing quarter 14.6s. terminal speed 85mph and two more gears to go. and we wonder what happened to the British bike industry................

Do you know, I've got one just like that!

Actually, my belief of what caused the decline of the British bike industry is ..................the British car industry. Think about it, bike sales went down when cheap cars were marketed, before there were many Japanese bikes about.

You were referring to a Japanese bike weren't you?

Janet, I thought you of all people would recognise the 400 four!.

I thought I had.

Perhaps I was being a bit too cryptic.

You've not heard John Prescott then?

It's all part of the cunning plan in which we take over the world.

Although I don't understand why we want it, we've got the best part already.

I thought John Prescott was in hibernation. Living,as I do, in the garden of England I would dispute your last statement.

Ian, what have you started!.
