just got back from my little jaunt down to chalkies gaff and the old girl run like a sweetie..untill that is the heavens erupted and drowned me and the bike ..id forgotten about the fact that 70s jap bikes dont like rain
i limped into Sydney on 3 pots with the 4th chimin in evry now and again which made cornering really interestin
still after a few mugs of tea and ciggys i left the in laws and and made me way up the F3 only to bump into the same downpour id left in southern NSW
but all good now ....ta chalk chop and bruce pukka grin :D

kat used to hate it, if i didnt keep revs up at red lights she would stop
and then it was a matter of taking a break for half an hour til it decided it wanted to go again :(

I used to love how on my GPZ the head was raised at the end for the OHC and made a nice little rain water collector... I used to carry a chamois and WD40 wherever I went...

At least you made it home mate.

Didn't take too long after you left and I was crashed on the couch. But at least there were some beers left in the fridge for this evening.

And we'll have to organise another round of drinks in the ACT soon Chop/Bruce. We'll make it a partners as well one, then you won't have to worry about riding home pissed. ;)

ta chalkie for the weekend mate ..i was knackered when i got home ...thats what we get for rabbiting all night
u lot will have to come up here one weekend

give it another 4-6 weeks Fimp, and you're on. Maybe you can drag a few of the locals down with ya.

Must admit Chop, I'm impressed you made it home, 3 pissed blokes (a kiwi, an Aussie and a scot at that) fixing a puncture ain't always thew best idea , that could've gotten seriously out of order :D

Oh and my pleasure Franken, kinda made up for missing the AFR ;)

Good to catch up guys.
that Talisker is nectar.
If I hadn't left when I did, that 7AM start on Sunday would not have happened.

Come on TK, you don't need an invite, you're always welcome at my Gaff.

Maybe we should organise a wid-winter bash in the frozen capital?
