One of my brothers drove Triumph Bonneville 650. My mother would close her eyes and start praying, every time she saw him take off.

thanks for the info Barney.
You'll find my cv in the thirty pages here somewhere as well. I also did your trick of waiting a couple of years before posting here ;-)

I remember reading somewhere that, in "proper" writing, one should spell out numbers, up to a certain limit (four or five?) and then use numerals (e.g. 6 or 7 - is numeral even the correct term for those?)
