I'd probably benefit more from just sitting and working on the finesse of my stick control and practising a few rudiments but I'm an impatient bugger and like to rock out.

What gear are you playing on at the mo?

Here's a challenge for you. Don;t use the buggered hand at all, play the hi-hat part with your left foot, and do all your fills Mudvayne style, between your bass drum and good hand.

I've got a DW Collectors with a D'Amico Bass Drum riser, and Zildjian cymbals from a bunch of lines and Pacific, Premier, and Pearl snares.

ISN'T THIS THE COOLEST HIJACK EVER!

Nice gear, I've just shipped my Premier Artist Maple kit over from the UK and I'm getting back into it after a 3.5 year break.

I'll give it a go without the left arm, sometimes play that way when I'm having a ciggie anyway!

Are we gonna have to start calling you Rick Allen?

Watch it sunshine, I can still throw a punch with my right arm! (Just like Rick Allen when his missus was back chatting him!!)

I'd like to think I still exhibit a little more funk than the one armed tub thumper in question...

Don't worry Dover, lots of people mistake Rik Allen for a drummer. He's actually a bass player that got confused.

Picked up Black Betty yesterday and went for a nice twilight night ride.

Ooooooooohhhhhhh yeaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!

So love her!

She is the bestest bike I have ever had! yahoo.

The acceleration in 2nd and 3rd is awesome!
I am a very happy camper

Thanks to Sarge for sorting me out with insurance...great rate!
Thanks to Mike for selling me the bike.

Look forward to seeing you all out on the road.
Cheers

Cool mate.... what are you gonna put/add on?

I'm just waiting to take my bike in to get her front brake done...
Just waiting for the courier to deliver the part...
it should be about 4.30pm... (kerry at Motohaus)
Then I will go for a wee ride... she has been gathering dust today.

Yeah Hubby has just arrived so we will ride tonight too :-)

I'm wanting a nice screen for the bike, some saddle bag supports, a new knob for the tripometer (just for starters) lol!.

Yeah I want to try out a screen on my bike...
It was suggested to me to try one...

So I am hoping that I can twist a certain lady's arm to borrow her screen for a couple of days or at least for a ride..... Yep we both have Virago's.. and she doesnt ride her bike that often.

I just want to see what the difference is... after riding my bike for over 5 years without one...

**heavenly.talker** · 11th November 2005, 15:26

I heard it stops that being sucked off the back of the bike sensation when you get above 135?

I figured it might give a smoother ride when we do the South Island.

**crashe** · 11th November 2005, 15:41

Grrr

Nothing worse than being excited waiting for something and the courier did not deliver.
