    Happens to us all, kidlets

    barreling down the driveway after the very interesting BRONZ meeting, stopped, put a Johnny Reb down on half an inch of wet leaves and mossy concrete and it's keystone cops.

    Crunch goes the XB12X.

    Amazing bike. Not a scratch on it.

    Popped the hand muffin off (Co-pilot speak) - snapped straight back on, there might be a tiny mark on it (muffin) - but it will take daylight to tell.

    (I did similar to cruiser test bike and it cost $7K - doh!)

    Worse thing about it all was I sqaushed the Cornetto that I stopped especially to buy ;-(

    Ex-freezing works steel-caps with commando type soles seem to grip better than smooth-soled Johnny Rebs. (or so I've found)

    Atchally they are the HArley ones with the grippy rubber sole.

    I should use them for kicking myself for just looking at the pile of leaves for three weekends in a row.

    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    The old girl is up North - you never know.

    Up here where you can tell the difference between inside and outside of a fridge - we have these things called Ice Creams. They make an occasionally nice sugar hit treat. Old girls away - don't have to share - and I sat on the fuckin' thing.

    What would you say if I told you Mr Ixion is now the president of BRONZ Akl?

    Finn has been unbelievable - stoic - deserves an award.

    Mr Ix I suspect is going to be somewhat more...I don't know...'direct' maybe, I'm on the committee still.
