They should have been awarded the CBE as that's three chords.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Wicked Uncle Nigel

I didn't know they'd got lost.

I had the opportunity to buy an immaculate one of these at Kempton Park,
a year or two ago, for �2000. I actually called Lozzo from the jumble,
and he told me it was a steal at the price. It was indeed, but actually
it just wasn't a bike I wanted to own.

The bike you called me about was the more desireable Canadian spec
non-butterfly valved exhausts variety, better known as the RD400G -
faster and more economical than the US spec RD400F (completely
different to the Euro spec RD400F). I'd absolutely love one of those.
