    Welcome G. I'm originally from Edinburgh (Gilmerton). Ended up in Canada after my Dad saw a sign in a pub that said Drink Canada Dry. So he decided to come over and make a bloody good attempt...

    As for football I'm Heart of Midlothian. My Dad is Hibernian.
    Can't we settle this over a pint?

    welcome!
    I’d rather be riding my motorcycle thinking about God than sitting in church thinking about my motorcycle.

    Welcome!

    ps. my old man came in 1989 to 'try it for a year'

    it's 2010. We're all still here
    It's the Least I Could Do

    This motorcycle is simply too goddamn fast to ride at speed in any kind of normal road traffic unless you're ready to go straight down the centerline with your nuts on fire and a silent scream in your throat.

    Alright mate -- I said it before -- dont leave your bike over there!
    WTF for -- beg borrow or steal - get it shipped - the alternative is, that your gonna have to buy another bke when you get here / you want me to check crate rate with DHL / (we have preffered rates - our rates are actually amazing)

    appricate it mate, and if i am in a good positon for the start of next years good weather, then i might do that (would love to give her a spanking on your roads) but atm i need to get a house/job pretty dam quick. We are only over on a year visa to start with, and so it might be a waste of time to ship it over for a few months. But thats the exciting thing....who knows what will happen. If we both love living here (and are allowed to) then I would like to stay, ship over my bike and go scratching with some of you lot! failing that, i will buy a rough runner, fix it up real quick and go burning on that!
