OK, No doubts about that the GP is, but what the hell is the Nickel & Dime bit all about? I gather its some sort of sponsorship, but who/what is Nickel&Dime ????

It's sponsorship. It's been all sorts over the last couple of years, including Cinzano.

I've no idea, and after five minutes (okay thirty seconds) looking on the 'net I'm none the wiser. So, it's obviously not marketing money well spent then! Laughing

Hmm bikers just the people to try and flog your up market clothing brand too. I can see the sales pitch now. "Add your own oil stains for unique style."

Indeed - infact this forum goes to show that a lot of bikers are serious out-of-the-closet tarts, even if they do tell themselves "I do it 'cos I like it, innit" (ie fancy brand name leathers to match their motrax-catalogue bikes Wink ).

The typical modern 'Biker' is a 40-something year old banker named Geoffrey with a wife, 2.4 kids, a Mondeo, a rather large mortgage and a Valentino Rossi complex. Did you not know?

Well i'm 40 something. I dont have a wife but i've been with my girlfriend 10 years. We dont have kids, I do own a mondeo but I only have a £50k mortgage. I'm not sure what you mean exactly about the valentino complex.
