Can't say as I have, bud ... however, I still have that motor from the Harley FLH ... put that sucker and winter tires on the chair, and you could make it across the Kicking Horse Pass.

Think that may be a little too strong for the chassis

Hey, you never know until you try. I'll even send you my favorite biker t-shirt. It has on it a very tasteful winged skull, and the logo: "Never Ride Faster Than Your Guardian Angel Can Fly." Good Catholic stuff.

Re: weather??

Feeling really happy today -can't stop smiling! First beautiful day since returning to Italy from UK - been for a ride along the canal and through the Elm wood. Floor carpeted with yellow and bright in the sunlight filtering through the trees - my inner child made me stop and have a kick around in the leaves -great fun and no-one was watching. I knew there'd been storms while I was away and at one point a birch tree had been up-rooted and fallen right across the path and the canal. Hoisted bike over and rode home...

Why am I so happy -because when I got back I found my mobile phone in the basket of my bike which I lost about 3 weeks ago! Not been a bad day so far - won 30 euros on a scratch card this morning and bought a new laptop too!

When I read that at first I thought you meant you won 30 euros and bought a laptop with it

I can't figure out whether she lost her cell phone, or her bike

Had a flurry of snow yesterday ... but it looks like we will bounce back to double digits for the next few days.

I didn't think you could get a laptop for 30 euros ... lap dancer maybe

Re: weather??

Dear both -John and Eric -won 30 euros, bought a new laptop for a hell of a lot more....lost mobile phone just before going over to Accy and found it today by chance after nearly 3 weeks...left it in the basket of my bike the day before travelling to UK.

Was feeling very happy -not so much now 'cos of posts about Europe on here -make me feel isolated somehow.... and very sad....That's life.

Aw, hon ... cheer up Don't worry, there's no such thing as Europe. It's just a geographical expression that some Frankensteinian politicians are trying to make into a social, political, and economic entity ... otherwise, it don't matter

How wise - I suppose it's like Canada being lumped together with the USA as North America.... you wouldn't really want that either!
How's the weather over there Eric -has the cold arrived yet - still mild here so far...

In fact the sun is shining on Italy today - it's all the hundreds of others who also need to be ousted that cause me to worry. Italy has always had a so-called unstable government but historically - even if they don't last long in office, effectively it's always the same lot changing position, party name and logo at every election
Oh, I'm not an Italian citizen by the way and have no right to vote here -wouldn't want to have any part...

Much like my sister in law who lived in Oz for more than 50 years without becoming a citizen(though I am pretty sure she could vote ...and was legally required to do so) you are, because you choose not to become naturalized, not a european then......you prefer to remain British...but with an Italian residency.
My sister, on the other hand is a dual citizen...she sees herself as Australian but with British roots...has embraced every aspect of Australian life.
The Aussies still see her as a 'pommie'.
Which all goes to show that nationality is more about how you see yourself, than where you actually live.
