    Things I enjoy about work

    Well, I enjoy many things about my job, but one of the things I enjoy most is looking out my office window on the third floor straight down onto the motorcycle carpark. I can watch my baby all day if I feel like it. I can watch others baby's too if I feel that way inclined.

    At the moment the regulars are there: a blue SV1000, a brand new Bandit 1200 and my little SV. I also know that not far away there is an Aprilia Falco (bugger about the scratch marks down one side that appeared very recently) and a brand new blue VTR250.

    In the course of the day, there is usually a red VTR1000 Firestorm with playboy stickers on it and the odd GN250.

    Anyone else lucky enough to be able to watch their bike all day?

    Sitting here, reading KiwiBiker all day!

    Yes, I have work to do. I just figure if I ignore it, then it will ignore me = Status Quo.

    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    I can watch my bike all day at work without even turning my head.

    i have photos of my bike as random desktops, but my bike is either praked at home in the gargre, or under the building. But I like work cos it gives me time for KB and other shtuff, and I get a discount on my home phone and internet and all I have to do is turn up here most days.

    errrrrrrr nope.

    I have to close the blinds or the light makes the screen unreadable - beside... the view out ain't the best considering I'm on the ground floor looking out at a hedge/wall combo between me and the halfway house next door...

    Good job though - great boss...

    I enjoy being paid to "road test" quality automobiles, found a good local road for "road testing" on too

    I just need to pop round the side of the building to look at my bike, but it's not much to look at really, there's sometimes a GSXR750 across the road to look at though, and a bike shop just up the road
