Post by: STW996 on April 12, 2008, 01:26:43 pm
Apart from Hoony who is up to his armpits in dirty nappies what are the rest of us doing (aside from cleaning our bikes ready for CD-5) upto to pass the time? for me this weekend is Go-Kart racing

YOU hate work Chris what about me, my last day off was Easter Monday and my next is ANZAC day  >:( >:( >:( >:(

on a serious note these 10.5 hour day/ 7 day weeks are just killing me (52 hours of overtime this fortnight alone)
the money helps with the bikes and such but what good is it when you can't get a day off to ride

Not much in way off down time here. Im running right up to the wire getting my bikes ready. Next Saturday I have to help out at local show with a bike display I had forgotten about. I agreed to help with it months ago. Now I have been asked to bring along my Elsinore along to display as well. She's not quite right with many small things needing to be attended too. Arse up head down is the plan.

Damn its a hard life. Kiss the girl bye in the morning and then roll over and crash for another hour, then get up and grab a fishing rod and walk a whole 100mtrs to the river and toss half my talkle box away. Come home a few hours later. watch a bit pf spongebob and think about what to cook for dinner  and ensure we have enough merlot.

 Today was dig a bit of yard up for the lad to plant some vegies  and  do my best magic trick and make a 6 pack of coopers dissappear and work on looking more like a local with the tan. Im the luckiest bastard I know ;D


 May consider getting my bikes up  here one day for when i cant go fishin

Down time you say? Interesting concept.

Was crook during the second half of last week and had a couple of days off. Felt OK-ish on Thursday, and so I took the YZ125C from a painted frame and rebuilt bottom end to a race-worthy bike today.... Went to baby classes and work too, and I'm paying for the long hours and lack of sleep now... :)

Next week will get the X finished!  ;D

Statistics show that motorcycles themselves are in general extremely safe  ;D

they only become dangerous when ridden  ;)

How true that is Doc, broke my left leg on one of the Red Devils late last year while "in control" of it and it has been sitting idle since and has not hurt me once :D
