I don't go up there anymore. My friend sold it for $500,00. It was a great place to go in the summer but it still gets hot. At least there was Bee Gum Creek. 61 F in the summer. Kept my beer cold. That was in 90/93 so no cams then. Yeah deer is too gamy. I miss the trees and solitude. Use to be one car an hour out here on Dillon, now it's a high way.
HD's have a low center of gravity and are too heavy. Different riding styles and attitude. They can keep it.

I badly miss the peace and quiet as well - gotta get out there soon - no neighbours and no traffic especially farking trucks is my idea of Utopia.
Overweight poser wank mobiles are HD's - the attitude gets me - they buy one and think they are something special - what a pile of crap. Spleen vented :evil:

Don't ask them how much it costs to keep them on the road unless you want to be lied to. Frankly I hate liars so I don't.

Wow, Mick ! Good title! That would have left a mark! Yeah sometimes, all one can do is keep her pointed straight, pray & hold on! I was riding this past Fall along a river when a Red-Tailed Hawk flew out of the trees into the road about 20 feet ahead of me...the area we were in was a tunnel of overhanging tree limbs, so I had the unusual opportunity to ride along side of him for 30 seconds or so...kinda like flying with him...very cool! (Bike sounds pretty damn good buddy!)

Nah Steve never have, never will - maybe when i was 5 and didnt have a clue what i was doing
All i could think when that bird was flying towards me was finally some action :laugh:
although i had nearly flattened a paddy melon wallaby that same day but it wasnt quite as exciting mate :)
Will post that later if you want to check it out.

I was laying on the gurney in searing pain, would go to a place with a white light, elevator music, no pain and NO FEAR. The nurse kept waking me up. The last time I went back, a question came to me, what do you want?
I thought I hadn't seen my kids for 6 years. I woke up and the nurse asked where I kept going and I told her. She gave me a funny look but I could tell, she had heard it before. The next year 01/01/89 a pick up truck pulled into my yard and two small children got out. My EX dumped them off, "I can't hang" I'll be back for them later. I sued for custody and was a single parent for 15 years. I know I had help.

Steve whatever works for you bud
Pretty sure these are the smallest Wallabies here - unpredictable little buggers dropped and slid under the extractors and slid out other side -
almost as bad as Galahs - Cockatoo family.Small pink and grey versions - kamakaze birds bit smaller than a crow.

Attachment Wallaby.mov not found


VLC media player works great for these
