So, are there a lot of Goths and teen aged vampires dressed in black lurking
in Gotesborg? Or is it a really conservative town?

I was reading the Wikipedia article but it's hard to tell whether the all the
links to death metal music indicate whether Gotesborg is some kind of Swedish
version of Amsterdam or what.

This song was on the pop charts in the USA when I had my first Honda.

Oh, fergoshsakes, doesn't the Swedish DMV have motorcycle riding
classes? If anyone should have the resources to find such classes‹and
take one!‹it would be you!

I don't know; you'd be surprised. I've interviewed plenty of IT sysadmin
candidates who clearly didn't have a maths background. (If they did,
they could calculate that we weren't going to pay them enough.)

There are such individuals everywhere, of course, but
generally, it's a nice city worth visiting. If you make
a trip i'll show you around and buy you a beer.

Ah, Sukiyaki-song! We had to translate it into english
when i studied japanese, a while ago. Too bad the guy
died in a plane crash... He should be riding instead...

One might think so but no, regretably.

Sorry, for being unclear. I ment me, who's got M.Sc. in
mathematics and statistics, being by extension equivalent
to M.Sc. in computer science.

I went into an office few weeks ago and got hired as a
programmer with no problems at all. Will be starting the
new job in december, hehe.

There's a difference between computer science and software engineering.
As a QA engineer, it is my job to haunt you to the end of your days.

You are a true coward allbitch.
I know you'll have some witty retort to futher show you ignorance.
You only show yourself to be a troll more every day, thereby negating
all you say.

Now if I could just meet you face to face, and watch you cower and
cry.

From what I read, the plane took a long time coming down and Kiyo Sakamoto
had lots of time to be frightened.

Ue o muite aroukou...

It was 1963, and I had my first Honda and I'd just gotten the engine running
again after a disastrous ride without enough oil in the tank.

I had a pocket transistor radio, they were wildly popular at the time, and I
took my Honda for a ride on a winding dirt road in the mountains, while
listening to the Ue O Muite song.

Later, when I got back to the paved road, the motorcycle was humming along,
and I was humming the song, but I had no idea what it meant until 40 years
later, when I found the translation on the internet.

Nevertheless, that ride was one I have never forgotten. The road is closed to
motor vehicles now, but I ride my bicycle up there.

This possibly leads to a high side crash if the motorcycle gains
traction again. For the same reason you probably don't want to release
the brake on a locked up rear tire, you probably don't want to rely on
engine braking on a slippery surface.

Anything you post to alt.motorcycles gets cross-posted to
rec.motorcycles where
they make a game out of flaming new riders.

Bike Guy Joe seems to hang out in alt.motorcycles just to jump into
every thread, whether he knows the answer or not.
