Hi mate.
'Then' and 'than' are completely different words and have completely different meanings. Same with 'of' and 'have'. Set and sit. There, their and they're. Set/sit. Bought/brought FFS. Bloody Americans.

I went and seen Jim (Thep1pe) earlier today, what a lovely bike he has. It's exactly the same as the first one I ever seen and got me hooked.

Nice to meet you Lester. And yes some serious polishing. Have to thank the previous owner for keeping it stored properly though.
