Moderator Airhead Posted November 14, 2010 Moderator Posted November 14, 2010 welcome John..."too old to get your leg over"...pray tell, just how old is that then
barkwindjammer Posted November 14, 2010 Posted November 14, 2010 Great intro John (this should be pinned ) welcome to 'the ward' , lots of friendly peeps on here (some of them are 'no right wired'-if you get my drift), and you've clinched a limited edition Y-O-C patch-they've got serial numbers you know, when I'm in my 70's I'm gonna trot along to the 'Antiques roadshow' wearing mine and when the cameras are rolling-stumble into some very expensive breakables-should give the Y-O-C some free publicity-if not then it should be a great day out in any case
johnthebodge Posted November 15, 2010 Author Posted November 15, 2010 thanks everybody for your replies 1st answer a mere 59 10/12ths 2nd wot is a linky in my sig is it some sort sexual ritual that new members have to go through?? 3rd hello chris from esher. 4th hello paulwhite and finally the thought of going on the antiques roadshow got me thinking in 2 months time i will be one. veni veidi aqua.

Moderator drewpy Posted November 15, 2010 Moderator Posted November 15, 2010 the linky (A link you press with the aid of a mouse) is the writing which says 9 YOC patches left
christofeser Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 ahhhh that's such a coincidence. I always hit the route down to chichester to see some mates in college that way. There's a brilliant little road I took last time, A286 - small lanes round through the trees and that. As for Worthing, the a24 is a brilliant road down that way. When I get my bigger bike (Im on a 125 draggy at the moment) perhaps I could show you some nice roads round here Chris

christofeser Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 ok you will have to bear with me on this as i am new to this internet lark and not sure if im pressing the right button what is a paypal and how do i get one regards john PLEASE, Mr John, may I use this quote in my signature? LOL. Paypal is a way to pay online. You can, effectively, send money to someone by simply typing in their email address and hitting how much money you wish to send to them. obv there are a couple more steps - like signing up yourself, and putting in your card/bank details or something. www.paypal.co.uk --> it's quite self explanatory. After you've signed up, and put down the card you wish payment to come from, it's simply a case of hitting "send money", typing in whoever's email you wish to send money to, and BAM, you're done. Hope this sheds some light. p.s. It's quite safe, in fact, sometimes too safe. Chris
