    Freck It!!!

    I'm going for a ride too now!

    Won't make BB's ride though, It's 9.50 and I ain't kitted up yet. I might go a play around the inlet & Paekak hill road.

    Watch out on the inlet. Jonny Snake has been patrolling Paramatta Rd lately.

    Oh how envious I am! I was working all day blimmin painting toxic stinky paint onto a drydocked boat.
    But I parked my Apocalypse bike nearby on the footpath and people were stopping all day and going WOW and suchlike. Heh, I'm such a showoff.

    Straight to the twin bridges then back to the top for coffee, met Honda CBR [Doug] he wasn't aware of the kiwibiker site so gave him a heads up.

    The neck nut....

Could actually feel the comfort with slight head tilt back and side to side, when you can then notice the support provided.

    Heads Up and Enjoy
