FFS X-Ray, rent a bloody bike in Sydney, you give my mates at Bikescape a call and they'll fix you up.
Because you are in Sydney for a business thing, it's all tax deductible too.
Bonus!

A train from Sydney to Budgewoi Thursday night may work  :scratch_one-s_head:

I can't rent a bike Klav, gotta take the FJ! I've got to give those new fork valves a good workout. Although a nice Beemer to scoot around on would be ok,  :good2:

Thanks for the heads up Megsy. The more I look at the agenda for the 5 days they want me, I'm sure the last 2 days is really going to be a waste of my time. Thats what I'll let them know in so many words of course, so if I can finish up Wed afternoon and jump on a plane home from Melb, I'll be right to leave Thurs morning as planned. Going to run this by them tomorrow, and if they want me for Thursday as well, I'll have to go to Plan B.

Faaaarrrrrkkkkk work stuffs up my plans every year for different things!

You should have rang me I can get them for 3 possum skins and a tray of goanna eggs.... (popcorn)

Goanna eggs come in a tray these days? Crickey, I simply must get out more...unfortunately, the weekly shopping's done. Not to mention that Joanna the Goanna is virtually unknown in Central Illinois, de los Estados Unidos.

Possums we got, as well as turkey buzzards out the wazoo. Goannas, not so much. Although, as a medium of exchange, I can see the possibilities.

How many goanna eggs in a shilling, these days?

That`s great news mate! (Ya gave me a fright!)....I`ve been a bit caught up lateley too, but all is coming together better than ever.
My Copy of "Why We Ride" was region blocked, but now fixed thanks to an XS brother.

While she won`t be in the Saturday suggested ride, I`ve talked Dena into coming with my bit on the side  :yahoo: 
ummmm.... :sorry: well actually she is allowing me to take "HER" outfit on the proviso she`s in it!
This of course will be a fun, epic & challenging Roadie for both of us, so will probly leave earlier than most. (Maybe Sunday, but subjective.)

(Ya can feel when a Rally is in tha air ay!) An FJ brother rang me during the week and is ducking into the man cave today to play with the toys.
(I didn`t think a Canadian would mind spider webs and a lack of rear brakes, but I guess we could at least give it a wash!)  :drinks:

I've let Mrs X-Ray know I will probably be out on the other side of town Sat nite 1st March, she is fine with that. I'll have to behave myself as Sunday afternoon I'm off to Melbourne for that training I have to do with work. Then fly back to Brissie Wednesday night to jump on the bike Thursday morn and ride nearly ll the way back down again, lol! Gonna be a busy week that's for sure.
