It's pretty wet and windy down Palmy way today. But driving around for work I saw some true hardcore bikers out riding no matter the weather. Both within about 5 minutes of each other, and from their gear obviously from the same "gang".

Very distinctive, white open face helmets, bright red jackets & pants, and a bright red bike... smaller than you might expect.

I have a work vehicle which my boss makes me take home at night, so I can't ride to work even if I wanted to.

He's a right bastard!

Posties rock. When I was in Aus, got chatting to some fellas on their CT110s (I'm interested in the bike because of its close relationship with the C50 Cub). If I ever drop out of uni and fail miserably at everything else, I might like to become an Australian postie on a CT110 :D

Oh THAT gang? I wanna get hold of a few of their members... they keep putting threatening notes in my mailbox - 'demanding payment of this' and ' final notice for that'... GRRRRRRR :spanking:

No you don't. You preload the clutch by lightly depressing the gear shift. Rev it up an engage said clutch. They can wheelie for quite a way before I lost concentration and crashed into the hedge/fence/cat.........
Looks way cooler sitting on the seat, than waving ya arse in the ear for all the homo's to admire......wait, thats why you did it that way wasn'tit?????

oh, done that one too, bit like doing the same thing on a quad with that auto clutch system.
doing it by standing on the back makes for higher more controlled wheelies, cause you can get em up in 2nd gear.

I dropped out of uni and instead of failing miserably at everything else saved time by immediately applying to be a postie - but failed the test!
Posties are harder than me and smarter too, apparently.
