Hello Lads and Lasses

Just bought an ex police bike.  7 years since I was riding last and still a bit rusty.

Residing in Perth but I'm a damn Johnny foreigner from the mother country.

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

Cheers Glen

 I saw that meetup.  I would love to have gone to Jarrahdale for breakfast.  I've got a school friend who lives there.  Unfortunately it was Mrs Keel's birthday this weekend and I wasn't going anywhere.

Don't I know it Biggles

Everywhere I go all I see is a sea of break lights in front of me.  Speeding tickets?  Chance would be a fine thing.
