    Put him in the gas chamber then

    Went for a ride to...um bed the brakes in good and test the new jacket out.
    Going to re-bleed the brakes, the feel isn't as good as I want it when they are warm.

    I still have bronchitis and it's fucking stupid.

    Funny how often you see a red Holden ute with a Honda parked on the back of it!
    Will let the parties involved elaborate... Suffice to say no one fell off so no big dramas.

    Edit: Cheers for the coffee Meanie.

    Licence was given back to me today, so I went to my lecture this morning and then proceeded to do another 270km. What a beautiful day, great little bike too. No complaints except the brake feel once warm, this will be easy to fix, a nice happy bleed and she'll be as happy as I am.
    Went through Ashurst and stopped in Bunnythorpe to visit a mate or two, Cowboys, do you live on the left just after the turn "into" Ashurst as one is coming from the gorge? I saw a cheeky looking green machine in a driveway on my way through both times today.
    The new riding pants are high waisted, so aren't cool looking as one would like, but, damn they are comfy and wind doesn't seem to do anything for them.

    All up, I only opened the bike up once or twice passing trucks and a poorly driven car or two up the Pahiatua track, took it nice and easy to get back in the groove and have some tasty as hell looking chicken strips, could feed a village with them, but I couldn't care less.

    yeh know what you mean, just ordered in a motor drive for my electric bike project (one too many of my homebuilts blew up so decided to go with a professional one), good thing I'm teaching the kiddies how to run a CNC mill next week, replenish the modding account

    Neat fun! Go the CNC mill, you could whip us up a few custom bits and bobs Should be able to get some decent coin playing with CNC machinery. My old man does alot of that where he can

    you could probably just turn up and learn how to use it, reckon you'd be able to get a fair bit done before anyone noticed you're not actually supposed to be using it Only get paid for massey employed bits, seems a bit dodgy to make and sell parts using their machine. But I've been know to hook a brother up mates rates styles, so could probably do a few parts for ya. Pity I don't know how to use their CNC lathe, otherwise it'd be mass production of bros frame sliders
