Yay! My Suzuki Bandit 1200 front master cylinder and hoses that I'm going to "Jury-Rig" onto my Yamaha FJ1200 arrived today! Woohoo! (or maybe I'll install it tomorrow, it looks a bit bleak out there today.............)

So, has the bleakness outlook improved yet since last July?

How's the graft working out?

Yes mate, it was freezing cold (by Aussie standards) back in July, and now it's stinking hot. I don't remember when exactly I installed the Bandit brake parts, but the old FJ1200 actually stops now, which is a bonus!

Not hot here Uncle Terry, was a perfect 70 F here today! Felt obligated to take a break from work and go for a ride!

Ha ha, well the weather here is a little unpredictable Steve, I drove from Canberra down to Bairnsdale today to visit my mum (mom) and it's only going to be in the forties (F) tonight, so I'll need to rug up!

Mid twenties and teens for the last few nights. It would be a good time to swap out bikes.

Going down to the forties [F] here too, Uncle Terry. Will be back in the Sixties tomorrow, that a nice mild Winter that I do not mind!

Yeah mate, sadly the cool respite was short lived and we've been back in the 90's for the last couple of days. I did have a nice ride home from the pub just after 1am this morning, but I can't work out why I'm so tired today?

faux fiddy · « **Reply #507 on:** February 05, 2016, 01:46:32 PM »

I prefer to spend more on a 80 mph breeze on the bike at night over just airconditioning myself. It can even feel chilly in the low spots between the hills.

My highway pegs, hand grips and 18 inch rear wheel that I ordered for my Harley Sportster have finally arrived! Yay! Sadly I don't have a tyre for the new rear wheel yet as Jeff at Ace wouldn't answer his fcuking phone for the last two days, so fcuk it, I'll take the wheel back to Canberra with me and get a new 140/70-18 Pirelli Sport Demon fitted so I can install the wheel next weekend when I'm back in Melbourne. I'll do the pegs today though, geez I could have used them two weeks ago when I rode down to the Phillip Island Classic! Cheers, Terry.

Hey Terry.....how long are you on that job out of town? Is it getting old yet? Or are you still enjoying the free food and booze?!

Terry in Australia · « **Reply #511 on:** February 05, 2016, 05:24:26 PM »

G'Day Steve, the current contract finishes on the 30th of June, but if the company I work for wins it again (and there's an excellent chance that they will) it'll go for another 5 years. The money is amazing, I've just moved into an apartment which is only costing me around 25% of the tax-free allowances that they're paying me, so no complaints there.

Yep, the down side is the weekly 13 - 14 hours driving, I could fly but I hate flying. (not the actual flight, just the waiting pisses me off) I've leased a new car that returns incredible fuel mileage, (around 40 miles per gallon for a big diesel SUV) and being the "top of the range" model, has all the comforts that make the trip more bearable.

If we don't win the next contract they'll put me into a position here in Melbourne, so it's a win/win for me, but I'm still enjoying Canberra, especially the freedom to jump on the bike after work and ride wherever I want without having to move several cars like I do at home. It could be worse...........

It asked if I wanted to start a new topic because this one is dead 90 days.. I had to do advanced search on finding this one.

It's not brass monkey balls cold yet but in a few hours it won't be very good outside weather.

How's the weather up North this morning?

glad you reopened this meaningless topic, gives us more opportunity to bump up the old post count

BTW-first snow of the year, predicting inches turning into rain. Stores out of bread, milk and toilet paper withing hours...................................................

Actually, this thread turned into a fun joke, but if you read the first post, the op has a pretty good point. I can think of at least 4 members who post on nearly every thread that rarely have anything interesting, useful, or even correct to say. Fortunately, I can think of at least that many more, who's every post is a pleasure to read.

Communicating is good;someone posts and then someone else 'answers'. Standard protocol.
