Maybe it's because you can't see the screen properly

I know what you mean, I was fighting the fear when I went bungee jumping, and was too successful at holding it at bay. The end result was I didn't have as much fun as I should of. From what I can tell you have to freak yourself out totally to get the juices flowing. Bascially drop the cool facard and let the fight or flight response take over then the buzz might come back.

Think about the possibilty of whats on the other side of the corner, Roo, tipped loggin truck etc, usually gets me to a state of general alarm as you swing around the corner without being able to see the end of it.

Also my guess is that you've ridden the Black spur to death an know it like the back of your hand. Try heading for the Kinglake national park or somthing where you don't know the roads.

But make sure you take it easy.

Funny but almost true. I have seen Will on a ride out (one only), albeit one that lasted to a pub.

Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there

Anyone got any tips for dealers of 250cc bikes, the SO is getting her license in September and wants to spend Saturday doing some window shopping. Any recommendations for dealers in Melbourne with a nice selection of 250cc bikes new or used would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there

G'day mates! Thought I'd better post on page 48, as I seemed to have missed pages 2, 9, 13, 17, 23, 27, 32, 38, and 42. Yes, I was bored, and if anyone wants to check out the veracity of the above statement, be my guest! Anyway, this phucking thread needed a bump again.
