Mike/Brent, there's a couple of bikes (GT185 and XR80) I know that'll need to be drained out after but they're over at mum's :-\ this is the 2nd time in as many days/nights. I can drag all the others upstairs if they become threatened but it's a big job ::) The blame for this rests squarely on the shoulders of the council  and the greenies who won't let the council cut down the mangroves that are choking the local creeks. Damn do gooders with absolutely no commonsense! >:(

I guess this is why we're seeing you here on the forum Doc....It's a bit hard starting the mower underwater. ;D

That's some serious flooding there Doc.

so did the creek overflow causing this problem or is it the drains cannot cope with the flow?

You can handle it Noah, you've got nearly 2 of every model Suzuki.
Seriously, I hope it doesn't get any higher on you Doc, good luck.

 :D I imagine I'll be a sharpenin' my blades and goin' for it after this Luigi ;) high tide about 11:30 and it's raining persistently but not like this morning when it absolutely pissed down :o but the Ark is almost completed..kinda! Two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit and a half high! WTF I hope the shipping container with floaties will suffice ;D

Alison, I'll be keeping the kawas gaskets now me thinks :D just been over to check on my bikes and it looks like my little G5 may have copped a gutfull as well as it went over the airfilter box ::) soon as the weather lets up I'm going to clean out a zillion brake hubs and look at ways of dragging them all back here where it's a little safer. Floods I can live with, fire is the killer ;)

doc. hope things turn out ok ,it looks terrible ;)

Post by: Canam370 on October 11, 2010, 01:49:07 pm
Doc, you'll need to make the ark a little bigger. A cubit is only about 20" long :)
Hope the water stays away.

Doc , if you need a hand to lift and carry, give us a hoy as I'm sure there is enough of us to get a rowing team together for you.
