These guys have worked really hard to build the business up, and have not been in the building long. I have to agree with the guy that suggested we shove orange cones on there heads......except that WE weave around them....

Why would we want to weave around them?

I got some dirty looks lane splitting a funeral procession the other day

Got my first units/papers for Uni last week, so have been slaving at them. It's nice to have an advantage of knowledge in the psychological disorder areas and rehabilitation studies

Should have an essay knocked out before uni starts.
Now to find part time work and get a new bike and new riding gear

Have been looking at a ton of bikes, but, only the SRAD Gixxers and VTR1000f are tickling my fancy currently.

got some dirty looks using the footpath to get around the roadworks and into caltext today, a roadworker even parked his van up so I couldn't go back that way!

So you're coming to uni to do uni work?

way better reasons to come here than that

VTR1000 ftw, you should have learnt IL4s are too beige by now!

Haha good shit!
Yes, uni work and to look at the female variety...

Yeah, the IL4 thing is really quite beige...

But I do like the SRADs, always wanted one when I was a kid.
I'd probably ride one and get bored in 30sec after I realise it's not going to make pretty noises...

I hate to admit it, with my love of Hondas, but, yes.

bit of custom (goes inside the cowl, with stainless bit replacing the brake light), 2.5kg, and before you ask, I have no idea how loud it's going to be!
