    Damn!

    Glad to hear you controlled everything though. Pity about the bike, by the sounds of things it's irreparable and will need to be replaced with a '48 ASAP.

    maybe we could incorporate a simulated emergency lane change into the new and improved circuit.
    Not being a commuter myself - I haven't had the pleasure of doing one.

    In that case we should also simulate getting cigarette butts flicked at your helmet whilst minding your own business. Oh and getting spat at.

    A quiet practice tonight. The only major bit of rain was while we were inside discussing "tactics".
    Funrunna - did you notice that white vehicle beside me at the lights on Redoubt Road. I didn't look but felt that they were up to something

    I think they had tried to race us up the hill, without us knowing it was a race!

    Red face Tonights Ride

    Thanks for persevering with me tonight yáll-quiet ride but enjoyed immensely. I hope we get better weather next week. Fingers crossed. Tactical retreat to the Irish abode of libation was choice, skill deconstruction-hmmm food for thought mulling around in ma ol noggin. Will work on. 1 month and counting FunRunna.

    Sis, was that white van sitch as we came in? I noticed one in my periphery but then dismissed??

    Very relaxed ride home-though friggin heck, bit chilly out there brrrrrrr

    Don't think it was a white van. We pulled up at the lights on Redoubt Road to turn right onto the motorway. We had one vehicle in front of us.
    This white thing pulled up beside me, yet they should have pulled up another car length further ahead. I was getting a bit suspicious but wasn't going to give them any credit by looking at them.
    Anyway we got the green and we were outta there.

    Funrunna - race? we don't race

    Cheers for that fellow riders, enjoyed that side-by-side stuff we practised towards the end there, interesting stuff.

    Talk about fog this morning on the motorway, fark.

    Thumbs up

    Sis, pleased to hear that practice has made a difference, well done.
    Pity about the bikes damage, but that"s nothing when compared to what might have been.
    Did the truck driver see what happened, better still did he see that cow texting?
    Anyhow a general apology from us two for not being around much lately, I've just got back into full time employment and have systematically been decimating our financial reserves making the house look beautiful on the outside and both running bikes were out of rego and warrant. Fixed now and hopefully the pay cheques will be coming through soon so we should be good to go soon.
    looking forward to getting back.
    Every day above ground is a good day!:

    Great to hear that we will be catching up with you soon.
    Expensive having several bikes, isn't it?

    Just saw the weather forecast tonight. Looks like it is going to be wet on Wednesday.
    Which means that we will skip the bike work and go straight to O'Ryans where we can watch some educational dvds.
    So if it is raining, I'll see you all at O'Ryans about 7.30 pm and bring along any bike dvds you might want to share.
