Long time no read.

#1 Post by Gio » Wed Feb 29, 2012 9:40 pm

Not sure if Alad has said owt, but yes i'm still alive and working far to hard.

I won't try and play catchup on all the posts (View posts since last visit (19071)) but just wanted to say its been one hell of a year (guessing a bit there) since i last visited.

Currently I have no bikes i had to buy a new van last year after our old one was stolen and set fire to by pykies (sic).

Lost has happened since last and I'll just gloss over them as its what we all get in the passage though life.

My Dad has leukemia, and even tho he's okay atm it'll eventually see him off (he's a fatalist anyway so don't cry)

my mum died last september at the good old age of 82, so we've been very busy what with that and my dad as well as work..

Finally

virtual card is behind the bar, I'll just have a fruit juice as I have a bad stomach atm (eroded walls)

I called him too see if he was dead yet....

Welcome back - and as I said on the phone - sorry about your folks, but I / we are glad you are ok


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

That's a rather crap year, Gio. My condolences for the loss of your Mum.
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

Great to hear from you again but sorry to hear that you've been going through tough times.
As you've noted we've tried to keep the post count going while you've been away - I've done my best to pick up your share but a lot has been worthless drivel .... but at least that's kept things consistent

so .... was there a one-day special offer on toasted sandwiches ? :smt002

Anyway I'll be happy to share a drink with you

Welcome back!

Sorry to hear about your parents.

:smt001 Knew if I did a bit of searching I'd find your grand re-entrance.

Sorry about your woes of the last year and your eroded walls.. (Typical honda trait.. rot from the inside...
:smt002 )

Very pleased to see you're still about. :smt001
