Well, it was another TS250ER to use as a donor bike for the restoration project. In very nice order, seemingly, and only �500..... Chile was magic, again. Currently sitting in the BA lounge at Sao Paulo airport. Flight leaves in another 75 minutes. Waved the Amex card and got three very cut-price biz class upgrades. Number One daughter is very excited. Told her this is her last treat before uni. After this, she's on her own, and if she gets a taste for the good life (we spent the last 2 nights in Santiago in a 5-star hotel) she'd better figure out how to fund it herself. The Doctor, having risen at 4.30am for our early morning flight from Santiago to SP, was a bit fuddled when the breakfast trolley came round, and when asked what she'd like to drink, demanded a glass of white wine. <fx: horrified look from stewardess> "But eet is not eeeven nine een ze morning!" We bought 14 hats in Chile. -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Triumph Street Triple Honda CB400F Suzuki TS250 Suzuki GN250 chateaudotmurrayatidnetdotcom Nothing damages a machine more than an ignoramus with a manual, a can-do attitude and a set of cheap tools

I was having a continental breakfast at Les Voyagers Hotel in Montbrun and the gentleman next to me was drinking beer. I made some comment about beer so early in the morning, and another patron asked, "So you drink beer after noon?" "Yeah." "He drinks it before noon. What's the difference?" He had a point.

I've lost count of the times I've had a full English breakfast and a pint of lager at 10am when I've been on holiday. It's hardly a crime.

Whenever I'm on holiday and have to be up early for an excursion, I make a point of scoring a G&T in the bar before the pickup time. I mean, just because I'm on holiday, doesn't mean all of my usual routine has to go out the window. -- ogden | gsxr 1000 | ktm duke 2 |
