Malcolm,

Well if he wants some "Seat" time he can have some rides on my Kawasaki 
ZX-6 for some rides down the salt. Probably not what he's looking for 
but he is more than welcome.
But also Malcolm, I want you too to have the chance also, you are also 
welcome to take a ride on the motorcycle. Its nothing fancy but just for 
the experience hell why not.
