Hehe, yeah I do. But I prefer to use my airhorns....

Bike seems ok, no scratches on the fairings thanks to the plants that it landed in. Went to lunch and had a Kingfisher strong beer, its very sedating....

Hey sorry to hear that - it is bloody shite weather outside. You need to cozy up to one of those KPMG partners and get the bike in the staff car park

I managed to get in the good books with services staff so had my key card access the carpark

Oh man do I wish! I have access to the carpark but unfortunately as bikes are the devil incarnate cant use it. Well actually the truth is the only place that I can park it is always well full of Vespas and other ghey assorted scooters.

Suck - is that the official word or are you just assuming? I just took it in there and never had a complaint, then a few weeks later everyone was doing it. Those bloody scooters seem to be taking up more and more room in bike parks around wellington

Well I could park it in there, however its a first in first served rule and seeing as Ive decided to start work an hour later (at 8) I always miss out. Ah well shite happens, might look at parking it elsewhere, especially in the winter months!

8 is an hour later!? Damn!!

Its by choice, I can choose my hours on a day to day basis. I used to start at 7 and go straight to the gym after work at 3.30. I now got to the gym with a mate but she doesnt finish work until 4.30 hence the 8 am start.... I enjoyed starting early and finishing early it gave me the afternoon to go riding....

I'm the same. but I couldn't get my arse out of bed in time to be at work at 7

Sorry to hear that Hells; my bike is at home out in the elements and was JUST thinking I hope shes ok. Have come home once before to see her "sleeping" in the driveway. Am desperate to go home now and check.....
Hope your bike is ok and mirror is a quick fix.

Yeah, hope your bikes OK!

My bike will be fine as long as she starts when I want to go home and the mirror is nothing that cant be fixed with a bit of aroldite (sp?) knead it and duct tape. I think its gonna take alot for her to die on me, almost blew her up last night...
