Since having a hatchet job done on a brand new
SUZUKI VL1500 INTRUDER LC to create my trike,
I now have several spare bits that I don't
need anymore, namely ...

1. Back wheel and tyre.
2. Complete exhaust system.
3. Swinging arm.
4. Monoshock.

... any offers?

Failing that, anyone know how much I should
be asking for these, coz I haven't a clue?

When I have purchased used parts from bike salvage places generally they ask
50% of what new parts would cost.

Don't you go getting all pleased with yerself. I said nothing about the
ugly git riding it.

Your trike is a gorgeous machine, you are still mostly human and as it
goes not a particularly gorgeous example of the type.

Can't have brains *and* beauty.

Sadly, you seem to be devoid of both.

You haven't got a nice trike, either.

Not a lot going for you really, eh?

A friend of SWMBO once announced that she had a new boyfirend, who was a
landscape gardener by profession. 'Oh really' says I 'Does he make the earth
move for you'. Sadly, she didn't see the joke.

What joke?

That is twice in as many days that people have said something to me
about missing jokes. Am I missing something here or what? If it is
them fucking beta blockers I am off them then, I you tell now. I won't
have it, interfering with a mans sense of humour. That ain't fucking
funny.

I know it's three weeks later, but permit me ...

'Making the earth move' is a euphemism for really good sex, as in 'It
was wonderful, I felt the earth move' - like experiencing an earth
tremor at the height of sexual pleasure. (Not that I'd know by the
way. In that department my abilities are comparable to my motorcycling
skills, i.e. slow and wobbly.)

I envisage your landscape gardener as spending his day pushing
wheelbarrows of soil and clay from one point to another so as to
create a more pleasing prospect. He makes the earth move see? With a
shovel and wheelbarrow? So, if one's significant other is a landscape
gardener it might be expected that he does the earthmoving thing every
day. The joke is the double entendre. He both moves the earth in a
very literal sense and 'makes the earth move' by arousing his partner
to a height of sexual pleasure. Geddit?
