You water coolers need to harden up! My old oil boiler took it in her stride.
Oko was a bloody good spot this arvo. Plenty of bike porn to drool over and a damn fine group of riders to share the blacktop with too...not a blue&white all the way up, over or on the return 'learn' cheers Chris/DMNTD

Yep a nice wee pootle too and from the Office with some good peeps. Always better when there's no dramas too.
Also a excellent turn out for the run today too!

Damn that was a hot day but a good day, couldn't hang around long due to a
self inflicted illness

so was a bit under the weather.
Managed to get out for a short fang too which was needed.
Great turn out for the ride and no idiots that I saw.

Well for those of you that did the toy run today it was a mighty fine day for it. I saw heaps of bikes coming over the Kaimais and it made me jealous I was not riding!

18" rears are hard to come by, especially if you want used ones. I have a burnout rim for my bike and struggle to get tyres for it!
