It's about time you got some safety boots Grog. I think I've heard of previous foot injuries on here?
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Amazing memory Col. Today was 2nd toe i tried to cut off last time. Boots on front verandah, dont always put them on, obviously.

@grog got a link to the risers so I can compare with what I have on mine?

Today I bought a Samsung s23 Ultra phone to replace my Huawei Mate20 Pro.

The Huawei has been a great phone but recently the battery has been lasting like half a day at best if used moderately. It even goes flat before close of business if not used, just sitting there.

Vlad, just type in Motowolf. Lots for sale, same ones $20-$150🤷. 38mm up and 18 back. Ones you have are 30 straight up, thats if youre using my old ones.  They even do red ones. As for phones, bit like which tyre is best.

Yes,  14 1/2" x 28". And 1.86:1 .    Now with 26" Raker,  Etec revs to the limitter @ 66 knots.

I'm going to try a prop change from the boat ramp this weekend, get the waders on hope its not too cold.
Lucky I've got a Bravo 2 or I'd to pay for the big tractor and trailer.

Looks like a max of 12C over your way on Sunday. Keep warm! 29C here on Sunday in Sydney. Great riding weather if you get out early before it gets too hot.

Bought some clay bar from Repco and after washing the car used it to detail out some marks on the white paint.

Clay bar is great for removing marks and nicks. My favourite detailing tool.

Today was my first ever trip into a Harley shop, engine brightener buy. Not at all a Harley person but that shop was impressive. Set out perfectly, spotlessly clean, staff all in nice uniforms, then the amount of shiny new bikes, overpowering, over priced but two showrooms& outside, reckon over 200. One bike had a $65g sign on it, i dont know their models so cant say why so much. Enjoyed totally.

Yeah I am. Thanks mate. The 38/18s you bought do they suit with no changes to lines?

our neighbours daughter had a Hyundai terracan i think it was, slight clunk in the steering for a while, then complete failure, no steering at all.  Replacement of the steering rack was quoted at 7k, more than the car was worth.  Apparently common on those. 
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

Eric, Qld Hyundai parts near here, biggest used Hyundai parts in Oz, only model they wont deal with is Terracan. A diesel fuel pump is around 5g, everything else also outrageous.Car is a piece of crap anyway.
