Jealously will get you nowhere Sabie

I have offered Shiney any/all of the bits and he will be taking the Top Box so it just goes to show that vultures can share

So what are you sharing with me and my blue Angel...

Your bike is always perfect Sabie.
I am taking the panniers as insurance for the forthcoming storm season.
Work cops regular hail storms so it's a case of to be sure to be sure.

I'd prefer to think of myself more as a GULCH than a SINK

You mean you're a;

"deep V-shaped valley formed by erosion. It may contain a small stream or dry creek bed and is usually larger in size than a gully. Sudden intense rainfall upstream may produce flash floods in the bed of the gulch."

The colloquial term for a old timey western alco.
You wouldn't pour booze down a SINK now would you ......

This light still works?

That is a very good quality light

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #341 on:** October 04, 2015, 08:35:25 PM »

... and proven unbreakable, too.

Hell of a way to test reliability tho, Gary?

So I have left to give away:

Gear Sack Tank bag
Left hand ST1300 pannier liner bag.

Update:

My GP has made a small change to my pain meds, giving my a 10 mg Targin for night time and a 5 mg Targin for day time with Endone to stomp on any residual pain if needed.

He also ordered an xray on my left shin bone and my right ankle as both are still quite painful 2.5 weeks after the accident. I suspect a hairline fracture in the tibia and I have no idea why the right ankle is so sore. Some times it is sharper pain than the pelvis pain and stops me in my tracks.

Tomorrow the plaster comes off and the Hand Physio specialist starts her "torture" as Dezohn calls it. Dezohn has warned me to take Endone before the Physio starts because it is extremely painful getting the Knuckles moving again. I think I'll also take some with me for afterwards.

I've started looking at cars (well SUVs) and thought I'd narrowed it down to the VW Tiguan 130 kw Turbo Diesel, only to have VW announce last Sunday that they are temporarily halting sales of new 1.6 and 2.0 litre diesels until the emissions issue is sorted, which of course, includes theTiguan. This leaves me with the more expensive 155 kw R-series petrol Tiguan or after some looking around on the web, the even more expensive Ford Kuga Titanium 2.0 litre Turbo Diesel. I hate to say it but the Ford looks better value for the money. Although Dezohn tells me it is outside of budget.

Tomorrow I'm going to look at a Passat Alltrack and possibly the Tiguan R-series. Might even consider the Golf GTI.

I now have a CTP claim number so the medical bills so far should soon be recoverable and future bills will be sent direct to NSW Suncorp CTP.

This morning I spoke to the Principal of Kerin Lawyers at my place and things are looking more promising. I was concerned for ongoing medical expenses as these injuries could plague me layer on. He thinks a letter from him may get Swann to cover the helmet as well.

On Saturday I get the stitches out of my left ring finger and find out what he did to it.

Now, I'm going to try to get a good night's sleep. I haven't had one in weeks and it is exhausting.

Thanks for the update mate, have a good sleep.

Gary, I found this pic of the bird head carving that I pointed out to you, just after meeting you on the highway.
Significance unknown. Its on the south side of the highway near the wind farm, between Codrington and Yambuk, Victoria
