G'day fellas.
Shed day at my place (Nowra) 25th August  :good2:.

With the drought as it is, I assume we'll have decent weather, but fingers crossed.

I'm not sure if the family are heading away, or hanging around to join in the fun. If they stay I'll be down to two spare rooms, and two extra blow-up mattresses.

G'day Mr Troyskie

Are you trying to break your drought?  :lol:

Hope I can make it and if so it'd be only a day visit as my daughter will be arriving home from Vancouver after being in the US/Canada for a month the day before on Friday, so she might want to see me  :sorry:

But I'll be crossing my fingers too

Cheers

Family first mate  :good:
I'm conflicted about the rain. The farmers really need it, and I'm pretty satisfied with beer.

I've always been a nervous nelly on the bike in the wet, so dry is my preference  :pardon:

Mate, back in the days when I was bulletproof, if it was raining and I had nothing else to do I'd roll the bike out and go for a run down the coast, you knew the limits when the bike started sliding, i found out it was good practice for 3 weeks of rain when on a tour of Tassie.   :wacko2:
I do prefer the rain to wind.

Sounds good Troy, I'll be there.

Between my house and yours (and Pete's) is some of the best riding in the country, then there's the company, the stories, the fine regional wines (that's anything from the local bottle-o), the fire pit, the BBQ, roo lotto .......wouldn't miss a weekend at Troyskie's Resortskie!

Awesome Noel! I think I've a nice McLaren Vale cab sav to share!

Al, my new excuse is I don't want to get all my shiny bolts and screws rusty  :sarcastic:

Fella's, should I gee-up Simon for a Dyno run? I'd like to see what the 'big bore' I bought from WA has in it. I've also never run my 12 on the dyno... :unknown:

G'day Troy, I'm keen for another dyno run. It's always great to hear some angry noise coming from shackled FJ's. Jool's might even take up the HP challenge I levelled at him last time I saw him!
   It will be great to catch up with FJ boys again and have a couple of beers.
Looking forward to it.
   Regards, Pete.   :drinks:
PS I'll let you know if Steve and Alf can make it.

On another point fellas, Simon will be away that weekend & can't do a dyno run. I suppose we can put our bikes on their centre stands and rev shit out of them to see who has the best 'Bond' mod.....I know Effie is a 'Bond Girl' with the worn valve stem guide seals and stuck oil rings.

I suppose I'll have to amuse myself with Yummy and 'Big-Bore' at the dyno with Simon on my own some time (tough life I know  :sarcastic:). I also need a name for 'Big-Bore', but will wait till I see what she has in store for me...perhaps she's a Bond Girl too...hmm, that might be a naming regime in itself.....

If any of the girls have USD forks, you should name her "Pussy Galore". At least, that's what I've heard...
