    Yep. Check the 'rego on hold' thread for a glimpse of the first installment.

    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    Sounds like your skirt got caught in the chain.

Bloody impressive! Was hoping you'd stop in Little River for a chat, maybe next time!

    and it generates 39 pages of discussion. Imagine if I called him a cunt!

    Think of it as though you were watching a Tradesman working ... they make it look so dam easy ... and simple. Right up to the moment you try it yourself ...

    There are many that ride at high speed ... and are safer than others that ride at legal (or slower) speeds ... (you probably fit into this group)

    The one's that crash ... are the one's trying to keep up with him ...

    Once all the "fast" riders have killed themselves, the thread will die.

    Or will the "slow" rider(s) sit around saying "told you so"?
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    Well, since they are relative terms, slow will become the new fast, and the sloth uprising will begin.
