Did a short ride this morning ( 150 km round trip ) with my son and two other mates to Shoal Bay for some breakfast. The eggs benedict were awesome and except for the damn wind the weather was great to.

On the way home we saw a beached yacht that the owner will have some difficulty getting re floated I think........lol. The wind has placed it very nicely up onto the beach.

Went to the registry and got her registered and made it back without getting stuck! The real Maiden voyage.

Oh wait, that was yesterday. Watching it pour outside and bumming that I left her uncovered with a helmet hanging off the side.

Now don't take this the wrong way Sprock but..............................

You utter, utter, utter ba$t#rd!!!

Not only in Paris, but going to an MV shop

Please - just for a micro second - think of me working in the rain while you enjoy baguettes, Gitanes and French fashion.


Hope you have a great time.

Cheers, SB

Talking

I have joined the stick coil club. I will say she idles smoother, and started with less choke.

Well done Indy - but - we want pics.

The outcome is not only judged on smoothness and easy starting..............but neatness

Cheers, SB

I was going to ride today but I felt to bad for Sprock, with him being "stuck" in Paris and all, so I added a manual fan switch.

Aldi had some motorcycle gear on sale here last week and it sold so quick I missed out. They got some more stock in though and today I picked up a front/rear stand for $49 bux. Their stuff is cheap but top quality for what you pay. I paid $130 for an Oxford rear stand a few years back but sold it. This one looks better built and can be used for front or rear.

ALDI - special buys from thurs 11 aug - hurry, limited stocks in store*
