I have sent ph number TB not sure if it went through to you :unsure:

Still struggling a little with how the messaging works :blink: :blink:

[jim cadyMember]

I would like to be put on the list of starters too please TB.

A couple of things may be stopping me though,one I dont have a GPS as yet and two I wouldnt know how to use it even if I did. :huh: :laugh:
With the ride being six or seven weeks away I would hope I can have this situation sorted.

Cheers James

Sorry Ollie,
I didnt realize this was the accident that had you in hospital recently. :ohmy:

For some reason I thought I had read it was a roadbike accident. :blush:

Anyway hope your making a speedy recovery.

[jim cadyMember]

Sorry Andrew,I thought it was Alan. :huh: :blush:

Cheers James

Definately sounded like it hurt :ohmy: :ohmy:

[jim cadyMember]

I would just like to say a big thankyou to Kat,Mick,Rach,Alyssa,Steve and Alan.

I had a great day,can now put some faces to names.

All up I travelled 350ks give or take,rode places I have never been before, had a great hamburger for lunch,even went for a swim :laugh:

So once again guys thanks for inviting me along

Cheers James[potential axe murderer] :laugh: :laugh:

Hey Kat,
Have been given the green light,so if its still ok i would like to tag along :woohoo: ,not knowing where your planing on riding though i dont know if i will keep up :blink:
Not to worry though,if i cant keep up i will just do my own thing

Just be good to get out on the bike

Thanks James

Put to shame by the girls more than likely. :blush:

Sounds great,only cannot get in touch with the wife whos doing an evening shift/nurse at the moment,to ask for permission/more shame. :laugh: :laugh:
Will probably talk with her later so dont rule me out as i am keen.

Cheers James

Hi Kat,
I would have thrown my hat in the ring to go on a ride with you guys tomorrow but grade 2/3 may be too difficult for me on the tenere. :unsure: :blush: :blush: :laugh: :laugh:

[jim cadyMember]

Wow that many klm still to travel

I had no idea you could just keep rebuilding the bikes and sending them back out too play :woohoo: :woohoo:

Better not let the wife see this post she will never let me get a new one :pinch:

Especially seeing as went and spoke to Chris at Suttos on Thursday about the 990 adventure :whistle: :laugh:

[jim cadyMember]

Does sound like it was an awful lot of bad luck TB :angry:

But,forgive my ignorance does this now mean when you do get your bike back,its good for another 50000 klm or more :unsure:

Cheers James

[jim cadyMember]

Thats a relief TB,sounds like prevention better than cure.

I have an awful lot to learn and seeing your bike in a million pieces meant panic stations

to me. :ohmy: :blink: :laugh: :laugh:

[jim cadyMember]

That must be reassuring news for you Wolfie. Lifestyle choices :sick: can play such a huge role in ones longevity. :ohmy:

I know i have personally lost friends way too early to lifes pleasures and endulgences

I myself gave up the drink nearly one year ago,as i found myself polishing off two cartons of James Boags finest weekly with all my mates [me myself and i] :ohmy:

The mundane day to day daily grind had enabled the beer to become my hobby :laugh: :laugh:

To remedy this situation i bought the tenere .Borrowing the full amount of money for the purchase.

Motivation too stay off the piss is then born out of necessity to pay off the loan :whistle:Coincidently a similiar amount to the old beer budget.If your going to piss it up against a wall,why not.Would not be everyones choice i know,hell would not have been mine 13 months ago. :pinch:

So as long as i dont fall back into old habits bikes paid for,wifes happy,and i may get to ride for a few years longer :woohoo: :woohoo:

In saying all of this at the age of 46 i should get along to the doctors myself having never had a checkup :ohmy:

To wrap this essay/sorry,up thats not to say i would not join in the after ride festivities if and when i finally get out on a ride.

Cheers James

[jim cadyMember]

TB is this something completely unexpected for a bike with these klm on it :unsure:

Or is this what i can look forward too/dread happening to my tenere :ohmy:

Not at all mechanically minded but it looks rather expensive :pinch:

[jim cadyMember]

Mission accomplished

Top effort Lefty well done,enjoy the moment

Cheers James.
