    Who here sleeps??

    Seems Bizarre to me, Its like, dead of morning hours, and yet people are still posting away...
    So the question is, who here actually spends more time reading about motorbikes (and associated drivel) than riding them?

    I have no excuse.
    I spent 3 hours cleaning sweeping and generally tidying the garage today, Then spent 2 hours cleaning the bike and detailing it.
    Took the fairings off, took the built up external rust off the 4 header pipes, checked oil water, and any other fluids, Balcked the tyres and polished the mags.

    Oh and i took a half hour break to check KB .

    Then i went for a blat round the block to dry it off, then polished it

    I also work night shifts so being up at this time of night is nothing to me :P

    dunno, but it's an early finish for me today YAY! normally get to bed around 0500. was nice to see the computer/cell phone times automatically drop back an hour - left work at 0300, got home at 0215

    keep it safe on the toy run everyone. there's already stacks of bikes here in cambridge, and it looks like it's going to be a lovely day. i have a birthday party in huntly at 10am then a trip to auckland to do, so i'm out

    lol, mine is pretty much word for word with
    If you see me on a bike, I have a laptop down the front of my jacket
    Except that instead of it being a laptop, it's my PalmONE Treo600 PDA-Phone, which if I earned money (you know... from a job), and Telecom wasn't a complete rip-off with data-charges, I would reply to stuff on here like this with my phone

    It's even better if you haven't gone to bed and have been drinking for a few hours while posting - you can see your posts 'improve' as the night wears on !!!

    But then you also notice your 'audience' gets smaller as they drift off to bed
