Subject: [CR]Good Ken, Bad Ken

I've been an email pal of Ken's since a rather dubious thread about sexual habits a couple of years ago. I'm not doubting for a minute that some people have their stories to tell about him but you can only take people as you find them.

In my experience, he's witty, intelligent and very knowledgeable about bikes. More importantly, he seems to like the same kind of bikes that I do although I doubt that he would want more than a couple of mine for his collection!

It could be because he's from the east coast but his sense of humour and appreciation of irony appear to be much closer to what we have in the UK (whether that's good or bad depends on your point of view!) which is maybe why we get on OK.

As far as English and French bikes go, I doubt there are many who could offer the list more in terms of information. Hopefully, I'll still be able to pick Ken's brains off-list but it's a shame that others who maybe don't know him will miss out.

In short, I'd buy him a pint any day.
