Where is Mike O

Havent seen Mike O on the forum in a long time. I thought that he was one of the moderator,but I don't see his name there .

IIRC, he's just moved back to the UK, so he's probably getting settled in to his new home, and sorting everything out.

Graham

I was wondering the same thing too. I was just about to send him a PM to see if all is ok. Maybe he will read this and post something.

Looks like his last visit was about 10 days ago.
If he's anything like I was when we moved home in August, he's probably sat in a darkened room somewhere now!!

Graham

If he's in transit so to speak it may be he has no INET provider and therefor unable to post.

Lets hope thats all it is.

House moving is traumatic at best - between countries must be a nightmare!

I can confirm that Mike is OK. He's settled in to his new flat in Salisbury and is probably a bit busy right now. I think he's waiting for the better weather so that he can collect my (now his) Silverwing.

Laurie

Thanks for your concern and thanks for the heads-up Laurie.

I've been getting settled and am now so back on the PC, looking forward to collecting my 'new' Silverwing from Laurie soon.

I don't know if it's been named but from now on it'll be 'The Stone Lion'; long story why but this is where it comes from:

Incidentally, a new member to this site is on his way; Laurie and I both know him well from the X9 Forum.

The Stone Lion, eh? Let's hope it don't bite the hand that feeds it!

Bet you are looking forward to getting mobile again.

That'll be me then. Hello. Introduction (and new bike) to follow.

But don't tell anyone "over there".

Yes I am!
It's been more than three months since I sold the other one.

Hello Colin!

Hello Mike.

Don't forget to tell us when you're wheeled up - and pictures!

Should be Easter week if Laurie is at home then.
I think her ex-Silverwing is identical to my old one except for the top-box; I have a Givi, the new bike has a Honda one.

Mike,

Good news on your SWing. I bet you can't wait to start riding again. Oh, there is a $5 per day fine for mods that don't post. Just send the check to me via paypal. lol.

Thanks Jeff; you're quite right.
Unfortunately I don't have a paypal account.

Glad to see you're 'back in circulation', Mike.
Like the Stone Lion story.

Graham

Thanks Graham.
The Stone Lion story was one from my early childhood. It has very happy associations.

I shall be at home, Mike. Look forward to seeing you.

Thanks Laurie.
Does Wednesday, 3rd.April, a.m suit you?

And make sure the kettle's on!

That's fine Mike, I just hope the weather will be OK.

And yes, I'll have the kettle on!! I'm sending you a PM via the x9 forum.

I have just had the penny drop as to who 'ColinB' is!! How thick am I?

We'll forgive you - especially as you live in what has been voted 'The best place to live in England'!

Yes, that took me by surprise. But I have to agree, it is a gorgeous old town. Those of you within striking distance ought to visit sometime.

Laurie

Hopefully we'll be visiting Rutland Water this year, so Stamford will be on the comfort/coffee stop list! Always worth a visit, a lovely part of a lovely county.

Graham

Laurie's organized some good rides for the X9OC round those parts.
