Was awake at 5 am Saturday, had been invited to head to Casterton from Portland to debug a couple of computers, so loaded up and left home a bit after 9.30 am
Its only a bit over 100 Km.
Assisted a little fellow to cross the road near Digby, as he was having trouble negotiating traffic (two cars and my bike)
Put him down on the other side of the road, and he proceeded to travel to china by the most direct route.
Otherwise uneventful trip, arrived Sandhurst 11 am. Had a cuppa coffee, and proceeded with repairs to first computer... then two more appeared... completed repairs after another couple of coffees around 6 pm. Thanks Ross, good to catch up with the family again.
Cruised out on a slippery dirt road in heavy thunderstorm and rain to friends house 10 Km further on, where dinner had been organised.
Had a great meal (Thanks, Katie) and another computer appeared... finished that one about 10.30 pm, then followed Andrew to his home in Casterton, where I had the luxury of the couch for the night. Andrew and I chewed the fat until around 1 am, then we crashed out.
I was awake again just after 5 am, so watched the TV until Andrew arose, around 9 am. After adjustments to Andrews machine, I left the house about 10.30 am, heading for yet another customer 7Km back towards home. (These people are all related) "Shorty" had the kettle on as I turned into the drive leading towards the property. Finally finished with computers, and ready to head for home at a bit after midday Sunday.
Still some light misty showers around, but not enough to require the wet gear. Some great winding roads on the way home, no sign of any roos, and I had a good 20 minutes play with the throttle. No cramps in the fingers due to the use of the palm rest on the throttle.
Was finally home at around 1.20 pm.
The Casterton show was on last weekend, and I acquired a new
Kizzat for the bike., the
Woddaphar model
Fits perfectly within the dimensions of the bike....Its instantly recognised by all, who state the
model and
device on sight.
I was unaware that so many would recognise it?
It is a level indicator... everyone who sees it is thinks I am unbalanced
At night, it could possibly be used to remove drunken cage drivers from the roads?... If they saw this, they would pull over and stop in despair.
Here is how it operates...
