1. Are roundabouts good places to practice getting ya knee down? What about counter clockwise? Still a good idea? Wat's getting your knee down?
2. Where's the coldest beers out on the road during the summer months around Sydney?Inside Kevin's ventilated leathers jacket
4. What are the runoff's like? Ive had such a bad time in the runoff area's of EC corners 1, 2, 5, 7, 8 & 9 that Im almost at one with the gravel traps! Not to mention PI runoff at the hayshed twice, MG, Honda corner twice (all in 2 days)... Oran Park only went off once in a day so was on the improve there... Dunno, haven't left the road since my ls course when I discovered what happens if you grab the brakes in a corner :kuda:
5. Really the question here is why the fark am I getting my road licence? So you can ride... ROADS?
6. Do cages really hurt compared to hitting tyre walls? Dunno, hope we never find out!
7. How am I going to reduce my boredom at work today? http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/squares2

Woohoo! Licenced and Rego all done!!! Was an interesting start to the morning as front tyre was at 20PSI cold. Got to the blue slip place and he took one look at the bike, checked the lights and passed her! Bit of air in the tyre for me and off to the RTA :) Need to change the slip on's back to the Akra's at some point but otherwise I have a grin a mile wide today :D Pic's maybe this arvo or tomoz but Im one happy chappy :kuda:
