Greg is the man there..... unless you bought the bike from him, I don't like your chances. He is Mick's brother!

I did buy it from him, he knew what I was on about and said to just take it in and he'll fix it, if there's no sign of damage they'll cover it, $20 tops otherwise he said.

It does get treated very well.

Good news, they will look after you in that case then!

Why can't people just give their children proper names, why must people make up words with x's replacing ck's and f's replacing ph's and spelling that just isn't right?

Feel for these kids, they'll be at a party or job interview in 20 years and someone will ask them their name and their answer will make no sense to the person asking the question.

IMHO, some people believe that they only way their kids can be truly special and unique in the modern world is to give them a name that no-one else in their right mind would give them. Its also a resignation from the parents' point of view that their kids will grow up to be so average that they need a name to stand out from the crowd, as opposed to standing out by doing something well and being someone worthwhile.

Zappa's crimes are strictly limited to poor choices in naming his four children, and nothing more.

Rock and roll mythology.

By the way, watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow.

A pretty full on "myth", I've denied a few things in my time due to being off my face when it allegedly occurred.

Fair point.

However, Zappa notably didn't drink or take drugs, and only drank coffee and smoked cigarettes.
