As a young teenager I  remember spending more time pushing my mates aerial leader up and down the lane at the back of his house trying to bump start it than he actually spent riding !!

Ye for a 2stroke they were very poorly carbed and constantly flooding .

Aldi paddock stands are the cheapest around and are OK at $49.99 (£27.50) each so I couldn't resist 4 more at $29.99 (£16.50) each.





A couple of the ones I already have...




I now have 10 paddock stands and 1 steering head stand,
possibly more than I really need, but if I have my way they will all be in use next year.

"98 Grade / premium" petrol at Costco.

That's a good buy alright Tony, ya need a bigger shed and more bikes to go with the stands.  Think Snapey has some room at the mo . . .

I'm still hoarding / stockpiling / collecting bikes, parts, tools etc etc for when I retire.
The whole point of moving is to be mortgage free with a much bigger shed.

I'm quite open to breaking / parting out a 14 or 2 in the future if the right bikes turn up at the right price.

That the trouble with only having one arse. You can only ride one.at a time.

I got both of mine out today for a run each, had to do the usual swapsies though.

I am actually spending less money on fuel here than a did in Oz, probably because I don't have to travel as far to get what I need.

After driving all over Qld and NSW to do earthworks, I'm now working at the Port of Brisbane so have a daily 30k to work 30k home everyday. The lowest daily mileage I've ever had.  I do keep an eye on fuel prices, although the wife normally pays for mine.

Tony , that Torque stuff from Aldi is good i reckon. Their clothes get good reviews, i only have bike jeans but seem ok, had armour pockets so i got some extra. I like their leather jackets, been in cord for years but nothing like the feel of a good leather.
