    my indifferent luck -and other boring stuff

    For the few of ya interested I may have broken my run of indifferent luck.
    I've found another motor for my race van and this time its being installed by someone proffessional-and hes going to replace all the hoses.
    My Viffer is hopefully on its way up to me on monday for the decision to be made what to do with it -fighter it/half fairing or full rebuild.
    Feeling has returned to my left hand and I can lift a coffee cup without dropping it -yeeehaaa.
    The piston kit has arrived for mella yella so gary at GP trading is going to fit it and do a wee bit of tuning.
    All in all pretty positive

    Sometimes we get to these points in life - do we just continue to push through all this shit that's stacking up against us and hope to get to clear ground....or do we turn away and take a different path.I've done a bit of both - in hind sight probably the wrong move every time - but so long as we keep moving...forward,sideways or back,it doesn't matter,just keep going and don't stop.

    AAAHhh mate !!!
    Glad to hear you're on the mend ... Having things moving ahead helps with shit removal IMHO !!! Experience tells me that you are due some seriously good shit so hang in there.

    As to the mighty VFR . ....well I think you should take your time and get it right !! You will still have Mella Yella to sort for the race day and that will keep you going for a while huh ?? Just keep it upright while testing ...
    A man can move much faster without a millstone around his neck, so if he gets the chance to lose her he'd better drop her and run like heck !! .. (10cc "Modern Man Blues" - Deceptive Bends)

    Crikey!

    I hadn't realised your arm/hand was that bad! The fact that it's healing is obviously a good thing, and I'm sure it will continue to do so until you're back to the normal old wanker you always were

    Ride safe, and upright.

    Yes you have had some poor luck lately.

    But you have also had some brilliant luck. You've been racing lots (results irrelivent, it's still doing something you're passionate about), you found the Pillion. Baby Bikie has come away unscathed from his walk abouts and first bin.
