    Hey all! I've got all my gear - and will be getting my bike next weekend! So won't see you next wednesday but will the one after. First question for me on the night will be... what the hell is counter steering! Turn the front wheel to the right slightly before you turn left? Seems insane! haha

    Thanks for a good first night guys, I started to get the hang of that tight course quite nicely by the end of it!

    I only met a couple of you but for those I didnt formally meet I was the one on the white bandit with the huge L plate!!

    Sorry for bailing before the pub tho!! I got a txt just as I was leaving and had to shoot home..
    All in all was a good night, pity you lot took so long to turn up haha

    Hopefully i'll be able to make it again next week! Might even ride out to Westgate for the ride back to Albany! Where exactly do you guys meet out there??

    Ask this question when you come on the night. It is a bit weird when you read it. Much better is having it explained and tried in the carpark to understand.

    Had a good time with your balls last night Toto!!

    1st go was a bit of a joke, but I found out I can get around them quite easily if I move my body from side to side... initially people were coming up my rear, but at the end of the night (with more confidence) I was finally coming up one of the other guy's rear...

    Electrical Diagnostics: Retard Style...
    Badger arrives at Fizbin's work. Phones Fizbin, he answers...
    F: "Yello"
    B: "Cockwallet!"
    F: "Douchenozzle!"
    B: "Where the hell's your bike?"
    Fizbin opens workshop doors and badger pulls inside, parks up bike.
    Weave through production workshop, find big red parked next to a line of drill presses with jumper leads sitting atop her.
    B: "So what's wrong with her?"
    F: "She's poked"
    B: "Yeah, but what's wrong with her?"
    F: "She wont start"
    B: "Yeah, but like how... Like... or like..." *ensue range of stupid engine noises*
    F: "Nah, just nothing. But then i waggled the thing and it worked for a bit, then it started for a second and then died"
    Fizbin wiggles battery to see if he can do it again. Pulls some random wire off the neg terminal by mistake
    F: "Oh yeah, and that keeps coming unplugged" *reassembles plug*
    B: "Giz a go..."
    *Badger wiggles battery*
    "eeeeeeurrrrrrr... (the sound of fuel injection coming to life)
    B: "What the hell??? i didnt touch anything!!!"
    *Badger has a closer look, taps random plug thingie, big red lights up again*
    B: "There ya go, that bits shorting out"
    *Fizbin pushes plug in hard, it clicks into place and big reds dash lights up*
    F: "OH SON OF A BITCH!!!"

    Battery is too flat to start it, cant be arsed jumping it.
    Stand around and talk shit for half an hour
    Fizbin steals the work ute to get home. Badger gets back on the bike and sods off home...

    THAT'S HOW THE PRO'S DO IT!!!
    IT'S PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME!!!
    Do the peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat!

    Don't you mean that, you got spanked for taking the ute home.

    Being fired that would be great!
    There is nothing like having no job and going for a ride on a motorbike..
    A glimpse of freedom.

    last time I did run out of money. I still dream of having no job and riding around on the bike.
    It's a great memory. Just a shame it's not a reality today.
