Default Why did I travel to Melbourne?

I had no plans to go to Melbourne this weekend, but a chance happening has compelled me to drive over.

I'm now sitting in my mate's place - The Wizard of Brunswick, who is just back from a road trip through Iceland and then Northern Europe - he rode a Triumph Tiger 800 through Iceland and then a Ducati Multistrada 1200 through Austria, Slovenia.

When he returned to Melbourne, one week later a 2013 Multistrada was sitting in his shed. Do you think he liked it?

That however, is NOT the reason I'm in Melbourne.............

So guess away fellow CBRFers.

Cheers, SB

You're surely there to see :

The Bible: The Complete Word of God (Abridged)

Athenaeum Theatre, 188 Collins Street, Melbourne.

Can't think of any other good reason why you would drag your good wife all that distance.

Try and avoid that whole rapture thing at the end, we would miss your wit and knowledge around here.

But I suppose if you're off to a better place we shouldn't interfere.

Don't forget to send a postcard.

All good thoughts gentlemen, but no cigar. Out to Berwick today then the 700 odd km drive home this afternoon.

Hey Naga, give us a call if you would like to catch up for a late morning/early afternoon coffee.

Cheers, SB

Very Edward Snowden, Naga.

Did he leave his laptop unattended? or did you call in favours?

Funny thing, I'm getting so used to seeing photos of that trailer with the alloy wheels, carting all manner of different bikes; I'm almost certain that if I was in Aus and saw it on the motorway I'd just think :

"Hey, that's Seb, with another bike"

BTW Seb, we must arrange to meet up sometime for a game of Snap.

Home now! Thanks for the coffee and chat Naga - always a pleasure to catch up. And I think I will need to talk to you about Aldi.

So with Naga's interwebby search skills, I have been found out!

More tomorrow when I my brain is less mushy.

And yes TK, it is so you feel at home here when you come over for a ride.

Cheers, SB

Not surprising you need to talk further about Aldi.

ALDI is synonymous with high quality and exceptional value. Our goal is to provide you with a full range of grocery products that are of the highest possible quality at our incredibly low prices. To put it simply, we’re offering you a smarter way to shop.

(Did that come across with an Indian accent?) They sound great, I wonder why no-one has thought of that before?

Do you need us to look for a RH infill panel?
