Reasons to be cheerful

[F5 Dave]

There's people died or dying all over the shop. But let's celebrate life. Buy a trail bike. You only live once.

That's weird. My son is watching Jamie and the magic torch. The theme song sounds just like the start of JJF.

Empty plate. Emptying bottle after some nice beers.

Very tired. Winui trail ride. Ohh I'll post some pics.

As a parent, I'm a bit disappointed that you didn't finish the kids peas...

[F5 Dave]

Mate, getting these kids to eat anything healthy is a chore. Heck just realised she'd eaten her beef.

Fast ride up from Hamilton yesterday, wheeee, then out for a couple of hours cruising (beats studying). Went all over, incl to Devonport. Fun ride, weather cooperated.. I normally ride alone so it was nice to have company. Just waiting on the intercom unit now as that will be better still.

Good reason to be cheerful: I turned 70 just over a week ago, still ride, have my own teeth, my wife still loves me after 45 years and summer's coming. What's not to like?

...the whole weekend was as about as good as it could get...a big thanks to you and all the others who made it happen...

Commuting on the bike is way, way more fun than the bus.
That's a whole 'nother reason to be cheerful, actually - the only buses I have to deal with are easily passed

I only take the minutes and fix BMW's, its the tireless work of the Race Committee,scrutineers, Marshals and all the others who do the sign ins, run the BBQ and so on.

It was a great weekend thanks to all you South Islands from coming up

[ellipsis]

...yeah, spent a lot of years doing the committee, secretary, president thing...I know the shit involved...it's all worth it to keep the sport flourishing and at the moment our part of it, classics and posties are going well, don't ya think...we will be back and in greater hordes I'd say...I love Manfield...fuck jetting and fuel issues, still a great weekend and cool to meet you and Nev, and others...

After four days at the international festival of speed at Sydney Motorsport park, running Jay Lawrence on the Carl Cox Katana 1100 & a tired old GSX1100 (the same one he won the event on last year) as a wet bike, we came away with first place, ahead of Troy Corser & a number of other respectable names.
Bring on the Manx TT with the same combo later this year.
I can't believe I get paid to do this shit.

I can't bloody believe it either...

So you did ask him about doing the IOM. Good skills.

The Manx is a done deal, no asking required.
I will be running a Katana for Jay with some fairly major support from Carl Cox. it will be built by Team Classic Suzuki GB & run 18 inch wheels.
Jay & I are to operate the Team Classic built, Suzuki UK owned bike completely independently in our own space at the Manx, with support from team CSGB, who's main focus will be the Michael Dunlop campaign.
