I turned 60 this year, been spending allot of time with doctors since then. Just got back from the hospital yesterday with a urine bag , hate it allot, doesn't" piss me off" as much as I get pissed on only because when you can't pee  life gets really frantic. This spring has been so wet that I've been trying to get in a ride on every nice day with the exception of the last 2 weeks, My youngest daughter got married in Pittsburgh ( where I don't have a machine) couldn't ride there for a week ,then came home to a urinary issue that needed to be corrected. It isn't going to be an easy fix.  I have a tube going in just under the belly button externally mounted,  down to a bag strapped on a leg. I know that I can't be the only guy with this issue and bikes that want to be ridden so, can it be done safely? cleanly? don't think the bag will hold up in my leathers. Is there already a decent set up that I should get for riding?Or, am I out for the season?

That's no good mate? I had prostate surgery last year so had a catheter in and a bag strapped to my leg, I suppose if my health was better it wouldn't have been such a big deal but at the time I had just had gastric bypass surgery and due to a post surgical problem I couldn't eat solid food for almost 5 months, was losing 10 pounds per week on average, and felt pretty miserable. The last thing I would have done was ride one of my motorcycle's, not that I could, I was as weak as a kitten.

The good news was that after the surgery (and a bad time in hospital which included collapsing in the bathroom) I got progressively better and better, and all my plumbing works fine now. Take it easy, and if you don't get to ride much this season, there's always next year.

went to the fights last night worked some corners for some first time fighters.and what pisses me off is watching trainers trying to tell their fighters how to fight when they have never stepped into the ring.i saw 2 girls and 4 boys get their a$$es pummelled.because the the trainer/corner man does not have the balls to get into the ring and fight.it's easy to sit back and say i would do this and do that.or the fighter should have done this or done that.corner men and trainers should have ring experience before they are allowed to do thier job.

I feel like a corner should always have one fighter or former fighter in it.
Was it USA boxing you cornered for?

Sitting in the Qantas Club at Adelaide airport waiting for my connecting flight to Darwin and I made myself a delicious snack, put it down and then went to get a coffee. Came back and some fcuker had stolen my food! Just goes to show, the higher up the food chain you go, the more likely you are steal another mans rice cake, with cheese and tomato.....

Yeah mate, it's hell here in the corporate trenches, but the four separate breakfasts and morning tea helped to relieve my battle fatigue........

Well , today started off fine, forgot to go to work, took the dogs down to the lake where they got to play with another great Dane and some other lesser breeds
Got home and spent some hours doing stuff I didn't have to spend any money on to the ZZR, painting the exhaust, pressure washing the bike and bodywork, stripped all the Little bits off the main panels of the fairing and put them through the dishwasher ( herself did go to work obviously )
Painted the back wheel off the VMAX so as soon as that is dry, put the rim sticker on to match the front, new bearings and back in the bike
Vacuumed the house so herself will be vaguely happy and getting dinner ready
One of the guys from CFA ( local rural volunteer fire brigade ) is bringing me a bottle of red for keeping his sh1theap Hyosung on the road for him
But what, you ask, is pissing me off ?
Just cracked a bottle of a new batch of homebrew and it just doesn't pour with a head..
Fcuk be that pisses me off
Apart from that though, it's been a lovely day

[dave500]

ya gotta shake them ones up?

[Terry in Australia]

Fcuk its hot. I didn't think I'd be saying that in July......

[Terry in Australia]

Sitting beside the pool drinking a $5 happy hour scotch and dry doesnt piss me off, just the knowledge that I can't drink more than a couple nowadays makes me a little bit sad......

[spotty]

Cracked another 4 bottles of homebrew, none of them poured a head either, had to keep opening them to check, and once they're open you've got to finish them
Don't know if I'm pissed off about that, but I'm certainly pissed

[Terry in Australia]

Slumming it flying Virgin on my trip home ftom Darwin, boarding 25 minutes late, and they've just announced that the in-flight entertainment isn't working. Great. 5 hours of boredom ahead.....

[spotty]

At least you live nice and close to the airport

[mick7504]

Have a good trip back Terry as best as you can mate.
Great to finally catch up last night here in Darwin.
I'm pissed off that we didn't have a few more hours to cover some more territory but it was bloody good with the time that we had.

Thanks Mick, it really is weird that we've been mates for over 10 years now, but have never actually met? The internet is a weird, but wonderful media, for sure. Well I'll be back in a couple of weeks mate, so don't worry, I'm gonna come back and catch up with you again, sitting around on a warm Darwin evening talking about bikes doesn't piss me off at all!

Leo was happy to see you ? whenever I leave the house for more than the required work hours my little white fluffy cat chucks a right spaz when I turn up

[spotty]

And I am getting well pissed off not being able to post pics of all my hard work

Let's try again....

[spotty]

Fcuk me, it worked, pity it's in the wrong fxuking thread

Well anyway that was a picture of the left hand muffler after half an hour of vigorous right handed action

Let's try another one

Hopefully that's a pic of the VMAx back on its wheels which doesn't piss me off at all, bring on some dry weather

Yeah mate, no sooner had I sat down with a delicious Ginger Joe, than Leo was somehow on my lap, and not prepared to get off. I've been having some issues with leg cramps, due, I believe to dehydration, so I quickly woofed down my GJ and moved on to a big glass of Chivas and dry, which disappeared very quickly as well, and when I woke up, Leo was still there, but the cramps had gone away, alcohol really is a wonderful medicine!

Spellcheck! Every time I want to write “sandcast” it spells “sandcastle”. Aaaargh.

Every Mans bike is his castle so it's not wrong

[Terry in Australia]

Every sandcast owner thinks he'll be able to sell his bike and buy a castle with the proceeds........

 So, my castle with an 8 car shop ain't happening? Ship. t

Well real estate is way cheaper in the US than it is here Don, I could sell my modest suburban home here and buy a McMansion on your side of the pond, and a few sandcasts to park beside a mustang or two in the 8 car garage, but my wife won't let me, which pisses me off a bit too.......

i worked out a while ago if i sold my bikes and car i could afford a two bedroom house in the town i came from in england....
