| Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there Hey I actually went out for a ride on my bike today for about 2 hrs
Rode like an amatuer
Way to stiff, but the bike felt like a rocket since I haven't been on it for about 6-8 weeks |

| Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there  Yer I got a few hours of riding done  on Sunday, after being off the bike for a week and not having been on a proper ride for about 2 months. Three of my mates and I headed out to Kinglake. Damn good fun.
And I tapped into the bikes capabilities a little more. Halfed the size of my chicken strips  and found more 'spirit' in the engine taking off from the lights
All in all a damn good day but I don't think I'll need to go WOT in first anytime soon.  |

| Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there OK, this is just how bored I am: I quickly buzzed through all 47 pages of this thread in order to see how many pages I missed posting in. Looks like I missed pgs. 2, 9, 13, 17, 23, 27, 32, 38, and 42. In startling contrast, I don't think ratter or Zop missed any! ratter, you are excused, as it is your post. Zop, you are just a total post whore, and have my utmost admiration.  |

| Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there It's an inside/outside joke brenny! tigerblade coined the phrase "now give me a dollar" a long time ago. However, I don't think it's good for a free beer. Unfortunately...  |

| Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there Why is it reading 1399 over here?  Is it for the same reason that water swirls in the opposite directions in the toilets down there? Light switches work bass acwards, etc. This smacks of ratter's and my argument regarding his "milestone" a while back.  |

So that means you all owe me two beers after I made the reverse trip to Healsville a few months for no-one to show up at the pub both Sat and Sun. Pay up bitches!!!!  |

I sense you are conficted...going from having the sweetest bike in the forum to soul searching because the bike is boring as crap and you have to endanger you're life to get the same thrill. I don't supose you are some kind of adrenaline junkie are you?
Say Brenny how did that run on the abandoned airstrip go?  Did you crack the big 300? |
