    JunkManJoe swaps one tractor for another

    A big thanks to JunkManJoe who came into the big smoke on saturday for me.

    Joe rode his DR tractor in to my place, and I had another tractor waiting for him which he used to dig big holes in my front lawn. Legend. As with his DR he handles a digger like it's an extension of his own arms, mechanical poetry in motion.

    After finishing the digging he then helped me install a new braided line and bleed it on the R80, then bleed the line on the R100 so it's now a million times better than it was. Double Legend.

    Late in the afternoon Aslan calls and suggests we head over to his place for a brew or 2 so I lead Joe on the scenic route with a couple of stops on the way to check out the scenery.

    Finally thanks to Aslan for rounding out the day with a wicked meal and a few hours to sit around talking sh*t and motorbikes.

    They are thanks Joe. I took the bike through Whitemans valley this afternoon adn braking was heaps better and the pressure didn't fade.

    As Joe said we filled up one of the panniers with stubbies and I was very concious everytime we went over a bump that I could hear them bouncing

    It was a nice day over there.
