I never made loads of money. The guys at Creative used to do like 100+ jobs a day. I hated the central London circuit, so I preferred the long jobs. Rose-tinted? I once connected with a Ford Sierra, and had to pay the driver £125 for the door. A passenger was getting out, and I had jumped up onto the pavement to get around. My fault. Lost money. Off work for 2+ weeks, plus scratched to hell, and a bike that looked like it was made from ribbon.

What Buffalo Bill said was what I believed in. If my company's work dried up, I was off to another company. No salaries back then. What you carried, was what you got paid. Accidents - why were they never little ones. I almost killed a young lady, she stepped out on a Red Man at the traffic lights on Euston Road, without loking, and I hit her at more than 30mph. Probably quite a bit more. I was fit then. Her skull cracked open, honest, and the police were going to do me. Luckily, all the people at the lights, who were waiting for the Green Man, told the police what really happened. I spent the night in my bed, not the nick. Couldn't sleep though.

Best job I've ever had. The pick-up-in-20minutes-or-the-client-doesnt-pay, saw me once do Harrow Road to Hammersmith Roundabout in 12 minutes. Thats incentive. In fact, my lard ass misses all but the snow. Mind you, Hornets used to pay danger money to anyone on two wheels who was prepared to work in snow then. That was 80 squid just for turning up. Had to keep the big accounts happy you see. Motorbike couriers no-showed in snow. I turned up in cycle-shorts with loads of vaseline on my legs. The wusses of today never face snow-work.

I think its down right predjudiced to exclude cows as potential lovers. In Venezuala interesting things happen with donkeys. Nope, no joke there. My at room-mate in Florida confessed such to me. I think we have to stop this close-midedness. I'm sure a cow would be as good as a sheep. Very popular in Wales, as Ann (you are the weakest link, goodbye) might say.

I was "24" almost everywhere I went. Papa24, Zulu24, etc. Yes, the family at Vanguard were ok people; no problems at all. I remember the younger son being a bit of a "lad"; didn't he have a Lotus or Ferrari, or somesuch mularkey? Yes too, I was a pushie during those years. And rider196, I probably know you. Wasn't Superchrome the biggest account? Or was that for Hornets?

Recently I've started using the Blackberry Maps function. Its good and accurate. I've just started using mine on a T-Mobile tariff, and recommend it. Good if you get a bit lost. The BBM Blackberry Messenger function is encrypted, so pretty impressive too.
EDIT: GoogleMaps is so much better! But the BBM has stood the test of time.
