    It's All About Me

    I've jacked the job in. Last day is still some time away, but after 27 years it's time for a change.

    I'll be doing my I endorsement, and working as a motorcycle instructor.

    Change is as good as a rest, apparently.

    Hoo Rah.

    Good luck with the change. You'll be moving out of the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff, into the fence builders at the top of the cliff.

    Well bugger that's a bit extreme mate, just because they've moved away from the BMW's to Honda's lm sure you'll still enjoy the rest of the job

    Wasn't long ago if you where white and straight you couldn't get in now you get offered a Honda to entice you to leave if your white and straight. Need only apply if black, brown, yellow, female or prepared to go ghey and ride a Honda.

    Its a strange world out here in a minority group but you might like it.

    After 27 years do you get a used BMW?

    They offered me the carcass of the one we torched on Moorhouse Ave.

    Tough choice.

    27 years is a long time to do anything. Its been 26 since I started in my game but I did a few things to distract me and have a change along the way which have helped.
    Change is as good as a rest mate, enjoy being your own boss and knowing all the stupid stuff is your own fault

    We look forward to the pics of the new bike when you get your retirement gratuity
