Haha!! I remember that term, slab. Wonder how many other 'mercans know what that means? Again, welcome back Coxy! Hope you are able to get back on two wheels again soon. Sounds like you have a pretty understanding missus.

Oh Bacc you kill me, oh yeah see ya in about 4 months or so! Hmm do the cardinals still play there? Go Bucs!
Omen your old your all old! Your all just jealous cause I'm young and verile spreading my seed and planting wild oats!!
Brenny you bring up a good point about all those gixxer wankers who cant ride for ****, their bike ain't worth stock, speaking of which a nicely sorted blade like ratts or Zee's would blow them away!
And in closing
Be good to yourselves and eachother

Oh yeah went up to the seat yesterday, cops doing a blitz on bikes. Got pulled over twice in 200m! Morons! And then at the top of the seat theirs another one. Thats 3 license and rego checks in 3km, each time I said other bloke got me, nup had to look!

Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there

Good that I didn't venture out to the seat yesterday cause I was gonna go after lunch. The cops up there are stupid really. One time I was flying up the mountain at around 100k's between the 2nd and 3rd carpark and the cop pulled me over and asked me how fast I was going.

...and yes I am jealous cause Viagra's not cheap you know...

A group of us did a GOR (Great Ocean Rd) run on Sunday and got pulled over about 5kms out from Apollo Bay. They only pulled up four of us in the lead group and the others just went past.

Damn, dude! How many "slabs" did you single-handedly tackle for this tirade? At any rate, good job! BTW, WTF is "the seat"? Some popular stretch of highway, I reckon. Hey, did you hear that?! I said "reckon"!!

I reckon it might be Arthurs Seat, it a short stretch of road which winds up a rather steep hill, to a tourist attraction, it's not the greatest place to play, but it's rather close to home

Nice one Brenny!!! Great Pic I would imagine it's quite nervy being out there in front of a large crowd. If It was me I would be worried about missing a gear cause I have a habit of doing that.

Bacchus, we love you too mate in a blokey kinda way...you know what I mean. And if you ever get a chance to come to Melbourne you've got yourself a tour guide and a bike to use during your stay, no probs bud.

The seat is what Ratter said. He bags it cause he doesn't know how to ride it, but I kinda like it cause it's challenging, avoiding falling chairlifts, bushfires, cranky pensioners and that....

Is anyone up for a ride this Sunday?

I was thinking more like Marysville via the reefton spur. We can have a meal at the PUB just down the road from Marysville where all the bikers hang out, can't remember what it's called now

Next time for sure Brenny....

I recon we should try and get away before 10.00am and that way we'll be ready for some tucker at the PUB by 11.30-12.00 I should think.
