While visually impressive it’s not one you have to worry about.. unless you are a small dog

Not quite today, but Thursday last week my daughter Jorja asked to go for a hoon on the bike. I said “we can go for a sensible mature ride” She looked at me and said “Whatever Father” 😂 So we had a good hoon 😇 Then the next day Jess had a RDO and we did a couple of hours on the Ducati and a pub lunch.

I’m pretty tolerant to a certain point, but if I’d been left a message like that, someone would be wearing that piece like a butt plug.

Another fantastic day on the mountain bike yesterday, approximately 3000m of vertical descending (y) It's hard work for sure and probably very good press up training 3000 metres?? Is there an extra zero in there that shouldn’t be? No extra zero.. it's possibly a bit conservative too. It's around 35...

Back home so have been able to get back into bush walks rather than endless circles on the helideck

I mix it up over a handful of tracks we have close by, but here’s a typical effort I do each morning after I’ve got every one out of the house

Farking cheeky power company c**ts They are changing out meters to smart meters, that part I was ok with. They did mine 3 days before the end of a 3 month billing cycle. Luckily I got Jess to take photos of the reads that morning. They pulled the old meters out and then when my bill arrived they had...

Pro job there Stonesie!

That's a nice position to be in. I'm riding our the current mortgage crisis and paying for my daughter to go to university. This year is her last so I'll be ok from June next year. The next few months are going to be rough but I've got a home, clothes and food in my belly. Sadly there's far too man...

I got one this week as well. Complaining that my offset account was greater than my mortgage and they are upset they weren’t making any money off me, and did I want to borrow more

being involved in dangerous talks.... (lol) A good mate at work has just bought a KTM 1290R Enduro and is planning on selling his very tidy low km KTM 690R enduro...

good fix Stonsie, but just a point to note. Aluminium against stainless steel or ferrous metals has a high risk of galvanic corrosion. It would pay to give your bushings a coat or two of paint to prevent any electrolysis occuring. Being on the bars there is a high chance of them getting wet and star...

Same, finally got to watch it on shift last night (lunchtime)

Looks good mate!

Your bike, you have to be happy with it, and sounds like this suits you well.

There's a few guys out here at work with GS1200's and they rate them highly (and they aren't nobs either ) Though that thing looks a tad flasher than their models

starting up the platform process again post 5 day maintenance shut down... the wells are looking wobbly and a good percentage of us are hoping it comes back at reduced rates bringing us closer to the end

OK, I've lost my bearings being on constant night shift.. I had fish and chips 2 days ago.. on friday (it's now sunday morning here)

I had a steak, wedges and beans last night in fact. All the days melt into one out here.
