Fortunately not. The 5 minute duration of that video was enough and has left me sore with laughing. I couldn't take any more pain. Nice accent by the way! I thought you were a local yocal. 
And where is Brian Kirby these days? He arrived a while back, rekindled my interest in dirty bikes with all that chat and great pics, then he disappears. Reason I ask is I had a few beers the other day then went out and bought a wee winter project, you know, just the 160bhp per litre engine, 5 speed sequential dog box, and 12inches of suspension travel as standard.... Disappointingly not yet a Jackass |

You bastid... I's too old for that now... Miss it bad tho.. And as for accent, many moons ago after years of living in Sweden then 2 season down in France where the only English speakers I interacted with were some Aussies and some Irish, all those influences resulted in sumpin closely resembling the Ulster and Liverpool accent, specially when I'd get a few beers 9or a lotta hard cider) in me.. So I was working in a Fish and Chip shop in Notting Hill in London and all the locals would just presume I was from Ulster.. Good thing when the local plod would wander in for their grub.. Then there was these 2 fellow who were water meter readers, one London boy and the other a Scot with a prrrrrrretty thick accent. So I ask him where's he from and then "lemme guess, I'm good wif accents...Lessee. Colombian! Naw, Not Colombian, nope , I know! Venezuelan! yep has to be it, from Maracaibo! Right?' So 'oafish-ally' he was my Venezuelan drinking buddy, 'cept the Chippies hours was the same as the pub hours back then..So him and his mate would bring me 'offerings' from the pub at the corner, and I'd give 'em fish-n-chips. Worked good! then his brother from back home comes up to London to see the sights. Young and tough, big brow, a hard man and even worse (or better depending) accent. They come in and when he orders it was rough to follow--he was pissed already---and so I do the "lemme guess where ya from" and said the same routine--it was a running joke, right? Well Lil bruver flips and he's climbing the counter and groowling "Fawkin Venezu-what-ian I'come over there and splian where I'z from mate" Took bother the other guys to haul him down and restrain him.. (of course we had a nice polished up oak baton somewhat heftier than police nightsticks right by the cash register and i had it in my hand already) so they're holding him and i say "OH! Sorry mate i was just guessin----I mean yer bruver is Venezuelan, I reckon you would be too (brother wuz nodding looking all reasonable---).. Kids going "Wha? Eh? so I say, "din't mean any disrepsect, how wuz I 'spossed to know you was Argentinian, eh?" The boy was upon the counter again!!! he called me "fawkin Irish bastid!" maybe its the rising inflection? (Notice I'm ignoring your new bike? I's jealous...) (Ok what'd you get?)

It's pretty damn tempting to pick one up to run Idaho... Not sure how it's going to work this year w/ NASA, but it seems like it's worked well for them in the past. Aside from one boneheaded safety call, it has looked like a ton of fun.  KF7RWG
