Gidday Fellas,

I put the new Race-Tech springs in the front forks today, Ray came over and helped nut it out as you need about 5 pairs of hands do this task on the "K", all went well and put some 15w Motorex oil back in it and the difference in handling was great, the bike now rides through the bumps and rough road and holds a line nice and true instead of crashing down into them, big improvement indeed.

Had to stop for a lovely Oz autumn pic.

Well done Grant.

My chainsaw won't fit in the Krausers. Damn, that's the first time I couldn't fit something in.
Too big for the tank bag too.
Time to get creative.

I rescued this little kid today from two dogs that had it bailed up about four hundred metres from the house.. Can't be more than two weeks old.
Nearly gave mesself a heart attack climbing up the hill through the scrub, zeroing in on the barking dogs and screaming kid.
The stray dogs pissed off quickly when I came on the scene. Fortunately the dogs hadn't injured the kid yet, although it did have a small scratch on its top lip.
It's a wild goat but settled quickly in front of the hot fire place in the house.
I managed to locate a suitable carer through the local animal rescue group. I don't have the time to deliver the level of care that it needs at its age.

Great effort Jeff, the lungs might have faded a little over the years but the ears are still sharp by the sound of it.

Make a good lawn mower that little bloke would around the home mate, one less job you would have to attend to and more time for riding the RS and also hopefully he could keep those curious roos at bay a little..

It's a big enough circus here already without another goat running around the house.

I went for minimalist creativity and stuck it on the back.

Gidday Fellas,

Jeff, is sitting here with hot coffee, slowly waking up and quietly clapping my hands to the pic as the family sleeeeeeep!!,

Looks and fits like a proper "after market" over priced, glossy BMW accessory mate.


How about I throw in the red back spider blower with high-country hut cleaner attachment, the overgrown blackberry trimmer, the long n short bar saw very handy for dropping those endangered hard to get at old growth species plus the tiger snake slicer n dicer..

I'd keep the goat.

Great! You're coming then! Will the lawn mower fit on top of all that?
I got an ice hockey mask somewhere.....

Bob and Pete have confirmed attendance.

Pity you turned the goat in, Jeff.
Quite tender looking. I'm thinking Geehi kebabs.

I've been fondling fettling Brunhilde, dealing with some fucking irritations refinements.
Caught this pic of her in her underwear.

Hope she doesn't mind.
