    WHO: Riders new and old, and anyone getting back into Motorcycling (must be legal & hold a motorcycle license)
    WHY:
    - Practice essential skills for staying alive on the road.

    Thanks for the awesome chicken satay, TheAntidote! And good seeing Maakz, Sis, xXGIBOXx and fam there!

    Yeah, didn't hear about the change in jobs, GIBber! Talk about dream job! I see a Trumpy in your future (when that Full license is in your wallet)...

    Can't go for the ride tomorrow night as my rear brake is playing up. Will be there at the pub though!

    Whats up with ya brake? They are a very simple unit if you need help with it. I also have a fix for that headlight issue.

    Allo Allo All!

    My thanks also for the yummy feed at urs Theantidote...mmmmm satay and home made cheesecake ...mmmm so good. Your kinfolk were lovely and your boy the perfect host with the most. Gibbox, Lil Doms a cutie and his Mamaz a gem, was really good to meet both. As always Sis & Tig-great to hang and munch out.

    Tomorrow I hope to be there, depends on whether or not the rent a cop harassing me tows or blocks me in tomorrow , anyhow, if i'm not there by the time yous need to roll then i'll see yous at the watering hole.

    Spokey, been awhile mate. Hope allz well tween work and lady.

    Righty O folks, be well and safe travels. Don't leach money to the government or you'll have acid reflux for the next month just like me.

    Thanks, mates! One of the calipers has seized and the pads are worn down, so George is putting new ones in on Friday.

    I got by on front brakes only on Saturday to the BBQ, but not something I want to do for a nice brisk ride.

    The new chain/sprockets has made a world of difference in the Hornet's behaviour. No more (or a lot less) stuttering at the low revs and snatchy engagement of the clutch. The old chain had been stretched to its limits and beyond!

    Have to say though that the new chain looks pretty rough (not gold, more like aluminum) and the sprockets look very ordinary. All for $270 from Moto One - I think I may have paid too much for it (should have gotten through George, who would've gotten me a DID chain and better sprockets, according to him). But oh well, at least it's working well... just don't know how long it'll last.

    George has a habit of telling people they have bought shit product if you don't get it through him. You realise the gold is just a colouring? All chains are made from the same stuff and only in a couple of factorys. They just get different labels stuck on the boxes.

    I personally wont use George, his pricing he makes up on the go.

    He's quoted me $30 for new brake pads and $80 for a replacement caliper. How's that sound?
