Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there

This time last year I was in West Wyalong, NSW, touring around in my camper van. Wished I was back in Oz, loved it all, fond memories.

Actually, thinking about it a bit more, it wasn't Wyalong, it was Pambula, fab place on the beach. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! or should that be Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (cold here)

Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there

Hey guys! I got a ripper idea! Hows about, instead of going for a cruise to the Belgium Beers gardens, or something similiar, why don't we...........wait for it.................I know this is going out on a limb here................but why not instead of going and drinking beer,........we do something really "Un-Aussie" and go ...............for..............a .................ride?

I have a hankering for doing yet another lap of our lurvely Reefton and Black spurs! All those in favour...............Say Oi!

Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there

Spurs are always a good choice.

But as with Matt Im currently bikeless. I hope to have the situation fixed by wednesday or thursday. But knowing bike shops it'll prolly be a week or 2

Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there

Geez it's been a snooze fest in here since Baccy got married and Ratter stopped being a whore.
Well ladies I have some sad news.

I just sold Fifi the fireblade, I am now bikeless again
Uni and other commitments sadly have meant I can't keep her, not sure when I'll be back on two wheels again.
But she's going to a good home, got $12,200, which i think in her condition is a steal.

Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there

No, she told me to tell the king prawn she's not up the duff yet.

I just don't ride it at the moment with school and work I have no time, it's winter and it's just going to sit there which is such a shame. My insurance renwel came in and that was it not paying that sort of money for nothing.
I loved that bike and could not fault but after my 929 it was too similar and the V-twin bug will get me come spring I reckon.
Though to be honest due to recent accidents a few mates have been in, you included it's taken the gloss of riding and I don't seem to enjoy it as much as I use too Being bikeless might change that though

The accident hasn't fazed me just highlighted another defence machanism i need to work on.

Just got to rid myself of some debt and then I'll be riding again.
