    Lubing chains while yawning and scratching your balls is second nature.

    One of the few things of importance in life, is looking for a petrol station.

    So, does the fact that I can do 1200km in a day and my arse feels fine mean I wasn't on tour?

    Best bike seat I've ever had...

    No - it means you didn't understand the question.

    I so miss the seat on my old K75.After a couple of hundred k's on the duck I start asking myself "Are we there yet?".

    ... you're eating petrol station pies for three meals a day ...

    .. you're wondering whether your bladder will hold out to the next petrol stop ...

    ... even BP Connect coffee tastes good ...

    Nearly as good as a Jimmy's of Roxburgh

    you have no problem turning socks and undies inside out as the next washing stop isn't for another 4 days.

    you stop turning socks and undies inside out as your beyond carring ........ it can wait another 4 days

    checking tyres becomes an obsesson ..... 2000 km to the next bikeshop

    the 1000 yard stare becomes the normal facial expression

    you start to forget to put you feet down when coming to a stop

    the end of day beer becomes on of lifes greatest pleasures and feels well deserved
    It's not a beer pot .... It's a fuel tank for a sex machine
