In the absense of a newsletter from Glovebox this month, I have taken the opportunity to share with you a letter intercepted on its way from our very own Maid Marian to 'Dear Wet Patch' the Waikato TOMCC agony aunt in residense

Wet Patch,

I'm so glad you mailed me, it's been a difficult time for me as you can well imagine...

It all started out when Dave (my Boyfriend) bought a Triumph it wasn't just a Triumph, it was a Triumph of the Hinckley breed! I thought that was bad enough.! I'd almost come to terms with the Hinckley breed Triumph when the worst happened... You would not have believed it... He went out and bought a HONDA Oh yes you've read it correctly a HONDA...!!!!! He keeps on telling me it's a Honda CX500 SPORT he put the emphasis on the sport like it's something special although I'm not overly convinced he's trying to hide the CX500 bit.

But it gets worse, Oh yes worse than this! He's started buying street fighter magazine and talks of "maxing out" his top boxed up Honda CX500 Sport! (It already has heated grips and purchased himself a chilli heated waist coat) Being hot doesn't make you "cool" does it?? What am I getting involved with I ask myself.

There is more to my agony I am in despair

For chistmas he has purchased me a CBT training course complete with a test at the end of it!!!! This is only to put me through the shame and torture of gaining the ability to ride the Honda CX500 Sport as well.

Please please help me wet patch I have no one else to turn to. My uncle is too busy playing the part of Captain Morgans Cabin Boy this time of year! I have tried talking to him but I think it's even to hard for him to help and I believe he is as distressed as I am.

Waiting with anticipation

Maid Marian

It appears to me that this Dave has firmly nailed his colours to the oriental mast.

My advise (for what it is worth) is to get your licence sorted out asap and rescue the Triumph from his evil clutches and give it the good home it richly deserves.
