    Well the ZZ-R got its new front tyre today, bloody slippery thing too ( told
    it`ll take about 100 kays to stop this) and it squeels when crossing white
    lines lol (under cornering). its supposed to have the tyre wear of a tourer
    and the stickyness of a sports tyre. I`ll update this when ive done a few
    miles on it.

    Wouldn't it be better to buy a new cruiser that doesn't need a ute?

    Yep... and it's hit Brisbane too. (Boy has it hit Brisbane!)
    I had a heart in mouth moment as I went down a 270° left-turn on-ramp and
    found running water crossing the road (from inside to outside) down the
    entire length.
    I was sure my front wheel was gonna' wash-out (literally!).

    litres out of it... She won't be using THAT for a few days!)

    I was looking at a motorhome magazine, and there were ads for electrical
    gear made by Onan. There were also Onan jackets and vests. I thought of BT
    straight away.

    Oh yeah, well today I saw a ... err... a... no, wait... errr... a
    really wanky "B&S" style Commodore ute, and I never even *thought* of
    Conehead!

    I *did* count the five 150W spotlights and ask the young plonker if he
    used to get really scared of the dark as a child though.
