So Eagle had given me a tyre to deliver at the Birthday ride. So saturday arvo rolls around jobs are done, science project completed, trip to Penrith to race slot cars completed ( I won by the way, Salina said I should let the kids win sometimes reckon she would know me better :laugh: ) Carport cleaned and swept, bikes sorted and restacked Salina’a car now fits who would have known :laugh: :laugh:
So for my delivery I grabbed my newest bike
Yes I own the piglet now. I fixed the little problem STM had with it at the Birthday ride :whistle: Fitted a spare back wheel I had here (old one I relaced minus 14 spokes while drunk at the 2012 Scrapheap ride to keep Pete in the game, or kill him it was suggested :laugh: ) Fitted my panniers and factory race kit replica milk crate and happy days. There has been some extensive testing this week to check if it could do the switch backs on Old Bathurst rd which I am happy to report it loves :woohoo: A top end rebuild kit has been ordered by Nick at Tekniks, some head work is in the air and I have spoken with Jason Barrett regarding a Barrett system and pipe (low boy system)
So I loaded the cargo
Yamaha hat ready to go on and away I went. Lefty you will be happy to know I actually passed a car today down the hill
I finished my delivery, it was a way away a far way away :laugh: Raced a dude in a hilux who was fully sic bro, said he could beat me to the next lights. So when the other lights went red I took off, cut him off and hogged his lane, he couldnt get past so I won. Thats called race craft people:whistle: :laugh:
I stopped at the Peachtree Inn to wash the dust down and then at O’Donoghue’s Irish Pub. After that I took on the hill only to get caught up when I so needed to keep my road speed up :angry: old people sux first gear :angry: anyway I ducked into some singlesThe mountain bikers told me you cant ride a postie there, I asked why? They just looked at me funny and said normally people ride enduro bikes there :laugh:
Found a refuel establishment
Now the panniers came into there own
Stopped to fuel the postie up, $2.06 tried to take a photo but the Indian dude cut sic about the phone and the bowser blowing up so I roosted off home, oh shit sorry rode off :laugh: :laugh:
Any bike time for me is fun :laugh:

Well when you are sooting along at high speed (cant believe I typed that in a postie thread :laugh: ) It prevents all the problems that high guards suffer. It is something only me and my dakar racing brothers understand
Will throw more than one stubbie at you :laugh:

Coming out of Wheelbarrow Ridge Rd, the last corner at full noise and then realised the main road was upon me :ohmy:
There was two massive skid marks put down that day :huh:
Hey John, dont worry about him throwing a stubbie at you, if its the ones out of the panniers you will probably die laughing from watching him try to trow that girlie shit more than three feet :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
