Linda it's about time you started to HARDEN UP I thought you Ducati riders were supposed to be hard, not a pack of girls, as for Hitcher he could just plug in his electric blanket & heater to his ST :msn-wink:

Yep...it was a good idea to talk Mike into finishing off the tyre on his CBR1000RR, he even got $100 tyre voucher out of it. Apparently smashed the record time of poping a tyre in 18 seconds, top gear on the limiter, pushing towards 300km/hr. The tyre wasnt even all that worn, I would have been happy to do another 1-2000k's on it.
Shame I was encourage to change the tyre in the morning with tyre levers.
And even more of a shame he dropped the blade in the dirt while showing off the the blond he had on the back after many drinks. Fairings are cheap, pride is not so cheap.

The cold duck was great!!
And came away with $100 with the wet tshirt competition. yay 3rd!
and even convinced 2 of my friends to join me it was soo fun.

Did anyone realise that the chick that came 1st was 16? .... unfair

Oh and too bad about the chick that fell off the stage. She broke her arm. None of us knew that that hole in the stage was there. could of been ne one of us.
