    Talking Look out world...

    Another 6L on the roads!

    As at 2:20pm today, I'm the proud owner of a shiny learners licence.

    Now all I need to do is change a front tyre, CRC a caliper to life, buy an orange indicator bulb and figure out why Daisy only likes running one cylinder, then I'll be shooting the breeze.

    Huzzah!

    Well done, now watch out for the dicks on the roads, in fact watch out for everyone, they're all dicks until they prove otherwise, but that doesn't mean they won't be a dick the next time you see them, they have to pass the test each time you see them.

    Thanks heaps folks.

    Yeah, nursing a sick bike home, I got my first taste of how arrogant and bloody dangerous some motorists can be.

    Travelling down a well worn road, with its fair share of pot holes and tarseal patching, blowing a gale and rain headed straight for my visor, I got overtaken by people who think they are doing me a favour by trying to brush my knee (and I was WELL to the left!).

    Still, having taken my first ride in shit weather, it's only going to make the rest seem that much better... hehe...

    I believe it was called RZ in Japan, USA and Australasia and RD everywhere else.

    Could be wrong, it has happened once before, I said "I do" when I meant to say "I'm busting for a slash, where's the loo"

    I'm in no hurry to prove anything to anyone... scraped up a few motorcyclists in a uniformed capacity, a couple of those will never ride again on this mortal plane.

    S'funny, I have a couple of mates with bigger bikes than me, who have no licence, and yet give me crap about being willing to wear an L plate... *sigh*
