"Perma-Gray" for Cormanus

[Cormanus]

Tink, the joke about the 6th gear is that I rented an ST in the US earlier this year. The bloke at Eaglerider told me it had 6 gears and I was so blown away by riding in the US that I took him at his word and persuaded myself that he was right. When I me the Ferret at IHML, I was telling him MY ST had 6 gears and he was assuring me (correctly as it turned out) that it didn't at all. I've been innumerate for ever, but I thought I could at least count to 5, even with both hands on the handlebars. It came as a bit of a shock that I couldn't. I still enjoyed the ST.

On another matter, depression induced by 'perma-gray' is known as SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder.
