  • Refreshed Home Page 3 May 2003 (Forum)
    HJ, Indeed I am honored by this dedication. I hardly know what to say. Indeed those Waves are everywhere here as it were. We now have a Chinese one built under licence which is cheaper than the Honda. Roughly £450 here also, but remember that's about 4 months' salary unless the Big Guy
