I'm working in a new office with a door that doesn't lock. Makes me nervous about leaving my gear here when I go out for lunch-meetings-whatever.

I'm not very good at this blogging thing. All kinds of momentous stuff has happened since my last entry and I haven't bothered to blog it. Things like:

• Got hit by a car in May, I had concussion and a fractured rib. Volty was written off by the insurance company! I bought her back, fixed her up and she's back on the road again with few clues to her adventure.

• In July I did my 6R test and passed - no more L plate! Since then I've been allowed to do more than 70kph

It's also nice to finally have a 'good' bike. Every other bike (or car for that matter) I have bought has been at least 14 years old, which makes them cheap to ...

Yes, the VFR does 170kmh! And up a slight incline too.

The photo here is of the back of a taxi. Almost every second taxi here has one of these stickers on the back, and they really piss me off. Roughly, it says:

(Caution) Motorcycles!
Two-wheeler accidents! Frequent/numerous

And that's it - no particular mention as to the purpose of the sticker or any basis to the claim it presents. It seems that ...
