| Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there Sorry Fellas, I've been out all day and didn't have access to a PC. I'm still keen for a ride through the hills. I could meet you at Pakenham Maccas at 10am if that's suits you or someplace else if you want, just let me know preferably before 9am. Will, stop making excuses and come for a ride, It would be good to put faces to the names for a change. ZOP and Brenny, I know you had a big ride last weekend so I will hopefully meet up with you next time. Coxy, maybe you should ask the "fairies" to fix the bike as an early/late christmas gift...
BTW I saw Torque at the pictures tonight. It's a fun movie better than bikerboyz. |

| Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there Well, Ive only just read omens latest post,pitty we didn'nt catch up.
We ended up getting 10 bikes and left a servo in five ways (near cranny) at 10.30 headed up to reefton, nearly got killed by a out of control crossed up MX5 in my lane going into a right hander on the spur, then headed to marysville, back through the black spur (too much traffic) headed home through gembrooke etc and nearly got killed again by a black SS commodore coming at us head on, in our lane while he was trying to pass 2 cars in a row, he had go for the dirt on our left and we had had thread the needle between cars at 140 kmh + while the cars were probably doing 100 kmh +, could have been messy.
Any way we all made it home safe, but what a day  |

The MX5 mazda that was side ways out of control half in my lane actually scared me more cause it happened so quick and there's a huge drop to the left of me. |

| Re: Hi to all the other Aussies out there Take a knee boys
I would like to take this oppurtunity to thank my mate and yours Coxy
He has hooked me up for a service with a guy who runs the show at the local dealers. Getting extra TLC at mates rates, the guy knows what hes doing apparantly and if it's good enough for his baby it's good enough for mine.
Big cheers Coxy
Unfortunately, and I didn't think it physically possible but the D's are going to both suck and blow this year. All well always 2005 |

Service went jim dandy, put in motul feels good already, all the fluids were replaced coolant brake etc.
Brakes feel more responsive tyre pressure spot on she feels happier, therefore me happy too!
Coxy's mate was great got the "Rosebud" discount? Anyways saved over 50 bucks cheers again coxy
Got to ride the service bike for the day, bike, no scooter. Had a blast went to work and everyone made fun of me, there I am in all my gear riding the gayest scooter you've ever seen, let me just say it turned some heads. |
