12 weeks!!!!
« on: June 07, 2014, 05:57:45 PM »
Been 12 weeks since I last rode the Honda, thought I might have got out for ride yesterday but the weather was pretty ordinary in the morning. Then I got involved in solving shut down issues with Windows 7 on the Lap Top and setting up a replacement desktop machine to replace my 12 year old system that was still running Windows XP. I can't understand why Microsoft has stop supporting XP, it's only 12 years old??? Lots of life left in the old girl yet.

Today, after a few chores, I finally got the ST1300 out of the garage and went for a ride. Not a big ride, just a ride from Callala to Nerriga. It took me a little while to settle back in on the bike but the return ride home from Nerriga to home was an absolute pleasure.

Tomorrow morning it's off to Mascot to catch a flight to the Gold Coast to pick up the new toy. Sorry guys it's not a bike.

Mmm, looks like that quote can be applied to at least 2 of us!!!!! :grin :grin :grin

But be damned, gee it was a long drive home from the Gold Coast, not much fun at all, especially on a long weekend. Mind you, the traffic wasn't bad and there were no repair crews closing down the Pacific Hwy, just a long drive home.

I actually came home with no plates on the car (unregd veh permit), I passed at least 6 HWP cars yesterday and another 5 this morning before I got home and not one of them even gave the plate less blue chevy a second look. I thought that was amazing.

Nice wheels, I must the stance is great, looks fast standing still.

Currently building (5years now) a hotrod.  1936 Dodge sedan, was my daily driver once.

At my age " getting lucky" is remembering what I came in the room for ;)

Looks to be in perfect nick.  Nothing to do but show it off (and enjoy shorter rides).
My fave colour too, irridescent blue.
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
