After having a break from the site am back, and wondering who is in the area to catch up with and take a ride beside every now and then?
Having a hard time finding the time to get out in the lovely weather, and thinking there may be others out there that have irregular hours and days of work that I can catch up with.
Spending time out about in the lovely weather that seems to be hanging around at present would be fun.
So... if you are of the same mind, why not send me a message and we'll see what we can get up to on the days off.
Shazzygirl.

That would be me. The car sucks! The only time I take it is when I have to carry things to work that wont fit in the little pack I've got.
And please make yourself known when you next it, the more I get to know the merrier! :scooter:

Yeah those kebabs are the bomb and I get to make em not eat em.
Hear the guys on FM this morning talking about fat chefs and how they did not trust them! Well it used to be you couldn't trust a skinny one!
My how things change; they now reckon that the fat ones are the ones that don't give a hoot about what they eat, and they are trying to make everyone else fat. Go figure!!!!!!
Anyway, try the cheesecake too, as these are my fortae, been known for them all around the countryside, and across the seas too!
Nothing beats a green cheesecake in Amsterdam, but now you can't do what you used to when eating at a cafe over there, :gob::mellow:

Cookes Hondah in Stratford have rides every 2nd tuesday night (had theirs this week), Energy Hondah are every 2nd thursday nights (next week) and tonight & every 2nd Thursday nights is a group from Caltex Elliot St (opposite McDonalds) Most meet at 5:30pm & get away before 6pm.
Image Motorcycles have a weekend ride every month. It's in their ad in saturdays paper & tend to be longer rides mainly on sundays.

Not a real dessert fan but will try,usually too full for pudding.Will attempt it.
Also used to have a pizza called "the kiwi",had the chef make it one friday when pissed back in 1999 or so for us,was base plus a few slices of steak,3 eggs not beaten,bacon.Looked gross but nice.:niceone:
