: Sun sun sun son

: Sun sun sun son

Met up with 3 friends this morning for a ride around the Northern beaches - great fun! The trusty old cx was in the company of a 250 Honda, a magic 900 Yammy cruiser (like a Harley but better I reckon) and a very well put together 450 single cafe racer - good company, a great bacon roll at Palm beach, in sensational sunshine (hot!) As you see by the photo
(very tempting to strip off all the heavy bike gear in this heat- but knowing my luck............. )
Dropped the cx at the cafe : Hit the starter while she was on side stand -while putting on gear- and she was in 1st!

ooops - what a dickhead! :lol:

I can now see what I would do if I were to win the lotto. :mrgreen:

Love the cafe racer , looks like an Yamaha SR500 ?
Your doing a grand job Loz of being our Cx corespondent in Oz .
Not an easy gig having to drive to all those beaches in the sunshine , we do appreciate your hard work

Keep it up mate :wink:

Those skies and the light are what I remember most about Oz . Keep the pics coming Loz , as Topper says you are our link to another world at the moment . You didn't miss much at Ryka's this year , apart from us of course :wink:

Will do Tel,... I think you might be right about the Yammy Chris - they were not sold here new but are now coming in from Japan and morphing into cafe racers.

I THINK POST OF THIS NATURE SHOULD BE BAND :evil:

We had rain almost every day during the holidays
Never went out on the bike, fired the Z up twice & i am sure the reaction to first prod of the starter sounded like "NOT IN THIS WEATHER" followed by coughing & farting & not firing up on right pot :roll:

Turned out to be duff plug, purring like a kitten until the temp. gauge reach normal

Really rough night with gale force winds & driving rain, didn't expect to still see the cover on this morning, rough again now.

Oh to be in OZ, must buy a lotto ticket tomorrow :roll:

ENJOY Loz, wish we were there

Sorry Dave, to hear you're coughing and farting and only firing on one :lol:

I'd love to tell you we had a crap day today so that's why there's no photos ............ but I'd be lying :lol:

Rode across town to do a concrete pour with my 2 sons and was sweating while on the move only a little pour, thank god - it was a scorcher..... too knackered on the way home to take piccies.

They used to send folks here for punishment - MADNESSS :shock:

Looks like your having a great time Loz :mrgreen:

My Grandad's brother many many years ago emmigrated over to Australia without a penny, he worked his boat passage to get there and did very well for himself in farming - I can certainly see why it would be a good idea

Things haven't changed that much, they keep 'em here and give them a long stay in a 5 star luxury institution , with all mod cons(no pun intended) at the tax payers expense instead. That way they don't even have to suffer the inconvenience of the sweltering sunshine, and spiders under the dunny seat!
