	Mike in Japan  +  311187 Sat, 06 Jan 07 02:43 PM I'm guessing you have, or have had, a two-stroke bike (happy or otherwise) at some time, YoHf.  Am I correct? Mike in Japan Joined on Tue, Aug 19 2003 Senior Member 4,370 I do like to be beside the seaside American English, Lazy English

They go well with 'brewing from the first wort' beer, which can be purchased from the Himaraya Alcohol Store! Mike in Japan American English, Lazy English

	Mike in Japan  +  311203 Sat, 06 Jan 07 02:55 PM This is well off-topic, but do you have a bike now, YoHf? I haven't had a bike since leaving Australia a few years ago, but I'm thinking of getting another this year. Mike in Japan American English, Lazy English

	Mike in Japan  +  311217 Sat, 06 Jan 07 03:06 PM Oh well, as they say, nothing good lasts forever. I'm off to get a fresh beer, then I think I'll start some type of motorcycle thread in the sports section. Drop over there in a while, if you like. Mike in Japan American English, Lazy English

	YoHf  +  311221 Sat, 06 Jan 07 03:08 PM I surely shall. I may also help you find a sporty and - at the same time - reliable bike, since my room is filled with that kind of magazines.  YoHf American English, Lazy English
