Funny how the weather is on mancave days, my 1st one at Dougs it drizzled a bit, the 2nd one at Rays was a storm event with hail the size of all types of balls.
I looked at the bom and there saying there could be storms in the arvo this saturday, but now there predicting it the odds are in our favour,...

Jeez Ken, what's going on?  You're spoiled for choice with a garage full of great bikes (except for the XS 650, sorry  ) the manshed is only an hour away, you have QL weather and you're driving?
You've been reading too many rally reports from "over there"
Think of the money you could make selling joy rides on the R1
Surely one of your bikes would benefit from a run.

hehe , good onya Noel.    Last Saturday i rode the cb down to Moorooka to a bike show . Amazing how so many people use to have one..
Went to the airport yesty on the fj to watch the planes.  Your right our weather is great, im out and about 4 days out of 7 .
But it's been ages since ive been a passenger in a car and i can't wait. I hope Darran doesn't mind me with my head out the window..

Your right about the xs, even though it handles like a bag of shit and shakes like there's no tomorrow i like it.
It compliments my bonnie quite nicely. heres a photo

Being of a generous persuasion, (Unless I can talk him inta being me anchor man on lefthanders), I could park the chair (when I find his place at 7.30am saturday) & transport the R1 (or tha Bonnieville?) to the Joy rides venue.
I know, I know I am one of demonstrable charity despite a dichotomy of leanings. (no I haven`t had an operation!... just a new word I had ta look up recently!) 

[ken65]

Sorry Doug but the bonne and the r1 aren't rego'd.
Are you really riding the xs down to Glens? I don't think i'm game but if Darran wants to be your ballast i can drive his car.

I googled dichotomy and i still don't know what it means.

Hey Ken, Have you ever forgotton what bike your riding and gone to knock back the gears and locked the wheel with the brakes.

[ken65]

gday bones, funny you should mention that ,  last year i seen an old fella starting to cross the road, he had 1 of those walker things ..

anyway he seen me and i waved him across the road, as i started to brake all i did was change the gear down. anyway i eventually pulled up about 3 meters from him only because it suddenly dawned on me that its back to front,....

brakes and gear selector that is.  Also this was before i eventually figured out how to adjust the front conical brakes properly.   Once i figured it out the front wheel will lock up easily if you grab a handful of lever... have to admit now  i can jump on it and get it all right now, took some time though.

Carbs were synched, oil was changed, dogbones were swapped over, beer was drunk, snags devoured, plus a bike was sold. It all happened at Manshed day at Glen's place today. It was a great day and a big thanks to Glen for hosting this one.

Looking forward to the next one.
