    I didnt realise the new nipper had even hatched yet! Congratulations Bart!

    However that means that you dont need brownie points - you need super powers, or a crazy space - time continuem device to pull this ride off in the next few weeks, months, dare I say, years!
    Maybe we should see what happens if we 'borrow' the DeLorien from Southwards museum and get to 55mph. Got to be worth a try! Maybe we could take our DR's back on a trailer and enter the 1978 Paris Dakar! We'd still get whupped, but we may be able to afford to do it if we took some $$$ with us from 2010!
    Plus we could be back in 10 minutes!

    Back to the Future and the RRRR was over my missus' birthday weekend and I got a pass out!

    the Delorean time machine, operated by the flux capacitor, must be moving at 88MPH (with the FC on) in order to acheive time travel.

    wont get very far at 55mph.....round the block maybe...

    Cheers man. Got my little boy, and now a baby girl so I'm a very happy man.

    I'd give my left nut (won't need 'em now anyway) to go for a good ride. Feels like I've been grounded for months. So, what weekend are you looking at?

    Congrats man. I was just thinking though. You poor bugger. You're going to be grounded during the prime riding months.

    Next weekend could be good...
    maybe not the big 3 dayer but 2 days could be good...
    Meet at Bulls, then head North...?
    ...Need......to.......go.......Riding!

    Huge apologies Joe, your completely right. 88mph of course (It would never work at 55 - )
    Better start scoping the place for a night time "borrow", I wanna leave flaming tyre marks in the carpark - then return it 5 seconds after I took it!
    Did the Flux Capacitor come as standard on all models?
    Should I check if it has an 'FC' logo on the back somewhere?

    there is some sort of inverse bell curve that maps the relationship between brownie points and elapsed time.

    use it (quick) or loose it
    This implies that as a bell curve, at some point they become redeemable again - if so let me know when that starts to kick in!

    I had always assumed a Logrithmical graph was more like it. However if you have evidence of the former please let us men know - please - PLEASE

    Ride next weekend - Possible Pipiriki - 42nd - etc etc
    If Bart and I have enough points, maybe a 2 dayer?

    Sorry Gav, but I'm only good for day rides now . Too many work trips coming up, and it's a bit cruel to leave the missus and bubs at home alone too often. Man, I'm owed some browny points now.

    Hi Wade,
    Just as I think my life is settling down and i start a thread on a cool 2 - 3 day ride, it all goes to a shit-show and bikes are bottom of the list again
    I will now be out the country from next week til Mid Jan, then only a few months til Baby number 2 arrives - so am currently hoping that my primo ride time wil be from mid jan to end of feb, fingers crossed - I need a bit of luck just to get the DR further than its normal daily commute at the moment
