Hint, when you upload the photos to Photobucket in the box at the right hand side of the screen the lowest clickable choice is entitled "IMG" (stands for Image I suppose). Simply click on this and it will put the link for the picture straight into your post. It won't look like it initially but if you go to "Preview" before you actually post the message then it will go get the picture and display it for you. And you can put as many pics in the post as you want. Try it, it becomes second nature very quickly. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Paul

I just got home after spending the night in Brisbane.  Got colder and colder past Taree, and even some drizzle on me 6kms from home. After no rain at all since leaving Thursday I thought that was a good deal.  I think I did 3400 or so kms all up, but soem of that was a part day ride having a look around.   Supposed to be 0c overnight as a welcome back.  No shorts and thongs tomorrow   :eek

I will put together some photos tomorrow.

lights work a treat
isnt it funny, how people have got into the habit of complaining about lack of customer service and support.
that is mostly true
but Mick's above and beyond has over whelmed me. the bike blew a radiator hose high up at the back of the engine, NOT fixable on the road, rang Mrs. G, asked can she come to Gayndor, and pick me.
I told her i will ring MBCT and HIRE their falcon sedan and bike trailer, for her to drive up Sun. morning
rang Mick, (only known him for a short time) have spent a couple of hundred dollar purchases and been on 3 or 4 of his group bike rides, wouldn't consider Mick a friend, just an acquaintance.
after explaing my troubles on a bad phone line, mick texed me and i quote verbatim "stay sheer you ate harie", i txtd ???
he txtd back "STAY WHERE YOU ARE "
i rang him "what does that mean"?.
his response, " I WILL COME TO GAYNDAR MYSELF when i close the workshop, (this is 12 noon Sat.20th
NOW how can you describe your personal feelings after that IMMENSE EFFORT thank you Mick

Mick's definitely a big-hearted bloke.  A trip out to Gayndah is no small thing.  It would write off his whole afternoon.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Sounds like Mick is a top bloke. Above and beyond, I would say. Well done Mick!

I hope Harie's bike is OK after a new radiator hose and that no damage was done to the engine. Could easily happen, but my fingers are crossed.
