The Superbike is Home

Arrived home to Brisbane this afternoon after an great ride from Sydney via
the Putty Road, Buckets Way and Thunderbolts, 950 kilometres on the worlds
first true Superbike the BMW R100RS.

[very jealous face]

 

Any roadwork occuring on the Bucketts Way ??
Might do a trip to Walcha next weekend...

 

well done sir, if it wasnt for the weather that was the way we planned to
head home from Qld

 

don't worry, Ducati will get the rules changed and backdated..
the BMW R100RS will do longer be classified as a superbike

(is Moike back yet?)

 

Last update I received (17 Sep) he was in Carnarvon getting his van's
alternator fixed.

He'll be home by November 23 at the latest, since we're doing the
GVBR[1]

My brother just did the Qld one:

<chuckle> I would've loved to be a maths-exam bicycle truant!!!!!

betty, mathematical cabbage from way back

 

Oh! Obviously I didn't know your brother had Parkinson's disease.
How long has he been afflicted?

Seeing as he's had 3 annoying younger brothers most of his life the Parky's
is probably a lesser affliction but he first spotted the symptoms about 10
years ago when he was 45-ish.
He's an old grizzled biker, AJ, chippie who doesn't mind a fight or a rum so
it took a while to realise this wasn't just arthritis or normal broken-limb
stiffness.
Mum had Parkies from about 65 (and only made it to 70) and we saw her
deteriorate so so quickly that we feared the worst for Mike but, although he
has bad days (and even worse hours) he's a tough coot and each time
something stops working he just finds a way to either force it, or he uses
something else!

By the way; he's not one of the cyclists in the photo.

 

Babbage was the mathematician, not cabbage.

See, this is the sort of scary learnedness that was so freaky at
Wintersun..... G-S, you lifted (or lowered) the tone then with a ginormous
fart.... can we expect another one sometime soon?

betty, ducking...

 

oh gawd, there's another one..... et tu Tim?

you left-brainers freak me out!!!!! <grin>

betty

 

How much did she charge you?

 

You think she'd have just put it on the bill...

 

You need to consider that from George Bool's point of view.

George was the first person to ccount to 1023 on his fingers.

Same here but without the ytical.

Theo

 

I suppose you want credit for that.

Theo

 

Never knew he stuttered...

 

He couldn't understand shades of grey.
