    Ah well, guess it's all part of the passing paegantry of biking life!

    Reminder for next time : a taser to ensure Gremlin acts with some semblance of normality!
    Haha sure was a funny night! good ride and was entertaining, but being the only non-honda rider meant that some people needed to be brought into line and a few group gropings were seen... andy you really should have come for the ride so that I wasn't the only normal person present!

    I had to bail early, sorry to leave you with all those dodgy gropey Honda riders Tracey. I should be there next week though, a couple of Suzuki riders should balance out all the freaks right?

    Worth it and then some from what I have heard and seen. Bring me back a doggy bag!

    Hehe, but we had fun, didn't we? Helmet will be fixed, too. Very much enjoyed the Korean noms. Actually enjoyed the solitary zoom back down the motorway (painkillers had kicked in by then) - may possibly have been a trifle over the speed limit...

    FYI: Anyone who calls me Gremlinette dies. Horribly. I will be creative.

    As for dinner in Sydney - eep, AU$210 is quite a bit! But it is an 11-course degustation, so that makes sense... do tell us what it's like if you go (went).

    Haha fact that you have said that means that the next time you see them for the next few months they will all call you Gremlinette... gutted for you, but at least there will be entertainment of watching them die!

    True, needs to be more than just the two of us to balance that crazy lot. And sure I feel bad, I didn't get to go riding

    Well we didn't go to Tetsuya's tonight, but Wanpo and I both enjoyed a very nice meal each of medium rare Kangaroo loin. Poor Skippy, saw him on the menu and had to try some. Really quite enjoyed it, I'd definitely go some Kangaroo again.

    So how do we get SteelPhoenix's user name changed to Gremlinette?

    In other news, since I had time to kill this morning before my flight to Sydney, I thought I'd nip out for a quick ride, ended up at Botany Honda where I got quoted for trading my bike in and took an '09 CBR thou for a test ride down through Whitford. Handled very nicely, though felt a bit twitchy in 1st and 2nd, but that's probably just because I'm so used to my own bike. I'll add it to my list of possibles, but still want to test a Busa.

    Interesting reaction from Richard at Botany Honda when I mentioned Justin's name, he laughed and said "oh so you're one of them" to me and then immediately listed Matt and Alan amongst "that group of reprobates", his words And now I'm tarred with the same brush He also mentioned Gremlinette by her real name and how keen she was on her new ride.

    Pic of said CBR attached.

    Sounds like Gale_Wolf is going to the dark side? (yes, Honda is the Empire ... Suzukis are the Rebel scum and this post will make zeocen spit tacks! )

    Sounds like Trace may be the last hold out!
