Not a bad idea but then again I'll stay with the old one, it's comfortable!!...

BTW the bike deal went through, funds transferred into bank account without them looking at bike and the bike is still in my shed without any contact from them at all, the perfect sale I guess and here's hoping maybe they will just forget about it..

I had a beer out in the shed last night, sat and had a good chat to the RS, told her that all will be fine, her new home will be a little less dusty but much warmer in the winter....I told her not to get to snobby with all the bright lights and polished paintwork around her and to stay the same unpretentious reliable bike that she is and to always remember her cousins up there on the VIC / NSW boarder and that maybe even cousin steveD might call past oneday summers day keep and keep eye out for her.....

I cleaned and polished her all up fellas and she look bloody good for a 30 yr old machine........
Cheers, Grant

I'll be sure to do that Grant.. We need to keep an eye on our own! I wonder what else they'll display?

Doncaster you say huh! That's just 15 minutes from me thru some semi rural outer suburbia, and sort of on my way to work.

How do they plan to collect, d'ya know?

I think it's time to start planning 'The Great RS Escape'.
I'm sure we could engage the help of the Garden Gnome Gang ...

If I where a Garden Gnome I'd be scared of that bunch. :shock:

We will, mate. We will. Good to see you back online, Peter.

The event is now just two weeks away. It's a very busy time for me with work and school (why is it that everyone wants drafting jobs done urgently just when I have multiple serious essay deadlines looming? I'm bloody intrigued by that, and have resorted to blaming that god bastard; He/She/It clearly wishes to test my sense of humour).

I'm planning to do a phone-around in a few days so we can sort a venue and some other details. I still need to put poor Brunhilde back together. Aarrgh. But I'm keen to get this happening.
