  1. Why don't you just shorten and re-arrange your current name to ornery? (I like it!)
  2. Eddie, Check your PMs. Spear
  3. 3 little words - infantile, futile and (insert yours here.)
  4. Yeah right. Thanks - PAL!
  5. Cheers mate and avagoodone!
  6. Santa? What's a santa? Oh - the fat bloke in the red suit? Our santa wears a blue singlet, pair of stubbies and thongs. Now - before you get the wrong idea, OUR thong is a rubber flip-flop type of footwear. YOUR thong is something designed to look like you're wearing underwear. And stubbies? - a brand of shorts. No chimneys involved here. Too hot to worry about fireplaces any time of the year. The EPA won't allow wood fires due to the smoke pollution. Gas is the way to go. Our santa pulls up in his old ute (that's pick-up to you) on the front lawn, throws his stuff on the front verandah then pi**es off to do the mob next door. And so it goes until he's finished. Seeing that he starts down here first, we get all the good stuff and you guys up the top get what's left over - the next day. We've already had 12 hours of Christmas day. You are probably just getting out of bed. Either way, thank y'all for your return wishes - and enjoy. As for me and the pillion, we're gonna go visit on the RSV.
  7. Do your worst Dan. It's a tad too warm here at present. Sitting on around 90degF.
  8. :thumbsup2: :thumbsup2: :thumbsup2:
  9. Sure she's not meaning CREDIT cards?
  10. I knew somebody would bring that up! I'll let ya know.
  11. Okay you northerners. I'll rub it in a little from Down Under. Longest day of the year today. It's 8:25pm and still daylight in the sky. Temperature only got to 27degC (81degF) today and I never took the bike out. Too busy working on the house building.
  12. Lashed out and bought 2 tickets to see Chris Isaak in February. Was going to give them to my bride at Christmas time. Couple of weeks ago we received an invitation to good friends' wedding - on the same day as the concert. Bride asked if I had anything on that day (I'm a photographer - busy most weekends) and I told her I was busy. She said that was okay, that if I was tied up she would go to the wedding on her own. I told her she couldn't do that, and when she insisted on knowing why I had to tell her that we were going to see Chris Isaak - something she has wanted to do for a couple of years. So, I gave her the Christmas present - 2 tickets - early to convince her. The wedding quickly went on the back burner. I'm now her super-hero. - - - and the funny thing is, the concert and wedding are only an hour's drive apart, 4 hours from where we live. Maybe if the wedding goes late into the night we could rock up there after the concert? Nah - forget it!
  13. Then - there was a bit of history prior to the RSV. Dragged these out of the archives to show you. First up is me as a 19 year old, riding my brother's AJS. Then - 30 years later with my own Honda 750/4. Got hold of a near-new set of original 4-into-4 pipes for it. Did a full restoration and original paint job on it. And eventually sold it when I bought my BMW. (That quickly gave way to the RSV) Enjoy these as well.
  14. Damn. I thought I'd already posted in this thread. Seems as if I missed it, so here - allow me to show y'all a coupla shots. First shot is what a girl's bike should look like. Then there's me and my daughter about to go for a night ride. Next is a patch I had made for my jacket. Then last but not least is me an my brothers on a ride earlier this year. Enjoy
  15. What do you mean showing up at court for your ticket? Isn't a ticket an on-the-spot fine? Pay it and it's all over and done with. Fight it at court and either get it thrown out, or cop a bigger penalty. Gee you Yanks have some funny systems up there.
  16. Well now - we don't have any of that crazy Thanksgiving stuff down here. We don't even worry about Halloween. I think Aussies are too laid back to be concerned with all that hype. But going by your definition - EVERYDAY is Black Friday down here. Specials and discounts are on ALL the time. And speaking of specials - we're in the middle of a petrol war. About a month ago we were paying up to $1.56 a litre for fuel. I filled up yesterday for $1.08 a litre. Some places in Sydney were down below the $1 mark. There's a lot to be said for the way the world economy is going - in some areas. I know a lot of people are hurting, especially top-side. Down here, we're doing okay. We're always learning from the USA's mistakes. That's nothing personal - just a well know fact.
  17. So - what do YOU call black friday? I thought that was supposed to be any Friday 13th. Can't see one of them until February 2009. Does the term "confused" mean anything to y'all?
  18. Give me time lady. Gimme time! I'm working on it!
  19. Hey Peg, When I see him next I'm going to take my ventriloquist doll, and keep saying YamaMama to him. Who knows, he might start calling his mother YamaMama instead of Mumma.
  20. Thank you all so much for you best wishes and 'grandfatherly' advice. Bit hard to spoil this bloke too much - he's 400kms away. Will make it better when we visit. Angie and Toby came home today - about an hour ago and are settling in well. Wendy and I left there yesterday morning, anticipating a home-coming then. Slight delay for medical reasons, but all good now. Couple more pics for you, then I promise I won't bore you any more. It is said that early impressions are important for a baby, so you'll notice that on my first cuddle I wore my Yamaha tee-shirt. Enjoy.
  21. Yay. Tie a yellow ribbon or 2 around that old oak tree.
  22. Hey guys, Thought I'd share a couple of pics of my new grandson. This is Toby. So new these photos are 24 hours old. First grandchild, and needless to say the pillion-in-a-million can't wait for a cuddle. Perhaps tomorrow - 400kms away. #1 - Father and son. #2 - Mother and son. #3 Toby.
  23. Wow. Lookit me! Just got another offer I can('t) refuse. These things only get as far as my MailWasher and I bounce them straight back. Must be terrible to have so much money that I can refuse to help these poor souls. :rotfl: (See how many spelling and grammatical errors you can find in this load of crap!)
