Today was easy. 90 minute ride & $100 for the rwc, papers all signed on the way to Grants for lunch, then collect the red plates from VicRoads on the way home.
Did I get lucky or what! Check this plate out...suits the bike to the year! It was randomly selected from a drawer full of them.
I swapped the plates over the counter only to notice the holes weren't in the right spot. I asked the next bloke if he had a power drill in his boot? Nope he said, but then he said " go around the corner to Powerhouse Engines. Ask for Denis, tell him Brian said to look after you!" Bewdy. Turns out Denis doesn't know any Brians, but he sorted it for me anyhow. Denis is a precision machinist and he measured and measured and marked and drilled like he was doing expensive engine work. Fantastische! Thanks Denis from Powerhouse Engines in Warragul, Victoria. Enjoy those beers!
$492 refund on the full rego ..."the cheque's in the mail". That'll help pay for the replacement for the lost 3 week old expensive multifocal seeing eye glasses.

and the service at Grant Fowler Signs in Trafalgar yesterday was second to none also
Warm fire, hot coffee and bullshit conversation
Every time I've pulled in at Grant Fowler Signs at Trafalgar there's been no bastard there. No Grant, no fire, no coffee, no bullshit. And there is not even a sheltered spot to have a leak.
I'm giving Grant Fowler Signs at Trafalgar a bad review. Don't go there folks, it's not worth it.
ps: Well done Steve. That plate is perfect.

Seriously all points of view have been taken on board, these will be addressed at the next AGM with the board of directors at GFS PTY LTD.
in the meantime take up any other concerns with my receptionist.
I love you guys.
It's nice to know (almost) firsthand why my Dad held Australians in such high esteem after his time in the S. Pacific during "the war".
