    Some Days Are Diamonds....

    I gotta say - I had some goddam rough days of late....

    But - I was enjoying an extra week off on leave, feeling little guilt and recovering. Of course - it could not last - and even while on annual leave I just had to go into work today... (sigh) and i was not a particularly happy camper...

    Anyways - I had to go for a stroll, ended up walking past Motorad... Dropped in to check out a funky retro open face for rumpty rumping on the Triumph around Kapiti cafe's etc... Didn't quite see it in my size... but on the Sale table... 1 x Rjays retro leather jacket in red, white and black and it fits quite well and - its $99.......

    Yes $99 - I scooped it up....

    Friggin Bargain.... Blardy made my day!!!!!

    Well done that man! A bloody bargain and it will be the perfect latte getting gear for the coast cruiser.
    Got to get some old style goggles now there Paul and you will be a complete retro lad.
    May the road rise up to meet you.
    May the wind be always at your back.
    May the sun shine warm upon your face.

    Shit mate you don't want to hear that story...

    it'll take all night. IIRC it involved a certain purple BSA...

    Jacket looks good Paul.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.
