    Claim to (dubious) fame.......

    I was just wondering if anyone might know if I can lay claim to being the only African Twin on an Africa Twin, or are there more of the same ilk out there? In case you're wondering how I could possibly stake such a crazy claim, I was born in Cape Town(yup, that be part of Africa) tick the first box!!! 4 minutes before my brother (in case anyone is not up to speed, that makes me one of a, yeah, you got it....... a twin!!!), so, tick the second box!! WhooHoo!!!

    Well, I'm pretty chuffed with myself anyway. Got my @ last Monday night and absolutely loving it.

    My next door neighbour invited me to his wedding reception (I'm too scruffy to be allowed in a church) and for the first hour I was wondering how he got around the hall and grounds (posh place)so fast. He seemed to be everywhere I went.

    Not only did my neighbour never mention that he had an identical twin brother, but the bloke was his best man and wearing exactly the same suit.
    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!

    Too late Africa Twin!! Born in Namibia and I have an Identical twin brother. Although he was born half an hour before me and is not into bikes at all. Funny that..

    That's great!! I am, of course, mortified but hey!!! My brother and I are not identical and although he likes bikes, he's never actually owned one. I was going to ask for your birthdate, but then thought naaaah, that's being silly.

    Soooooo, anyone else out there who can wreck my one chance at fame, dubious though it may be!!!

    Your poor mum. How did she give birth to two such whoppers?
    Does your brother play Robin to your Batman or does he lack the superhero powers?

    Hey Ho, at least I got to get out on my @ and make lots of people happy!!
