Subject: Free exchange - just an April fool joke


Hi @-riders,

I am sorry, that I have to disappoint you, but my message from yesterday
concerning a free exchange of "old" carburettors by Honda for free was just
an April-fool joke (german: "Aprilscherz"). I hope you have not phoned your
dealer to often. Please do not be angry on me because of my mail, I know the
cold start problem is serious and so there no one should make jokes about
it. Beleave me, I would also apreciate that Honda WOULD exchange the
carburettors, but (as far as I am informed) they will not do for free.

Never the less,

have fun!!! (if your @ has started!)

Uli

PS: I am not sure, if everyone who is subscribed on the list knows this
jokes on the 1st of April?!?? For explanation, here in Germany we fool other
people on the 1st of April, calling it "send them into the April". It is
very common. Usualy you could not trust anyone on the 1st of April, but you
also have fun hearing very strange stories. I am sorry, if you have not
heard of this before, but on an international list also happen international
things.
