    Thumbs up At long last !!

    After 2 years of living life on the bread-line I am starting life in the workforce as a productive member of society again !! :spudflip: I have managed to get back all the taxes I paid when I was self-employed and now I'm re-inventing myself as a Golf Course Manager ... very different to being a chef running your own restaurants !!

    So now maybe I will be afford to do more rides and the beast is undergoing the finishing touches getting her tune-up and the last of the broken/loose bits will be all sorted. I have got myself some decent riding gear but might have to get some boots yet as the workboots I have been wearing are a bit on the hot & heavy side given as summer is almost upon us !!
    A man can move much faster without a millstone around his neck, so if he gets the chance to lose her he'd better drop her and run like heck !! .. (10cc "Modern Man Blues" - Deceptive Bends)

    Bloody brilliant mate!

    BTW you were always a productive member of society - your kids prove that - in many ways!
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Cheers for that guys !! (sorry Sue .. didn't mean you were a guy ... )

    The only thing wrong with it at the moment is that I have to work Tuesdays to Saturdays ... so I lose a weekend day with the kids ... but at least I'm not working on sundays ... and Mondays without the kids means lots of long rides in peace !!

    Yes. And I'm in Australia, by the way. It's not quite the other side of the world, apart from culturally...

    Cool Ian,

    You'll have to come riding with us sometime. My mates and I have been trying to go for rides on sunday afternoons if you're interested at all.
    Life is difficult because it is non-linear.

    Ever notice that anyone slower than you is an idiot, but anyone going faster is a maniac?
