Couldn't agree more about Qatar Terry. I'd never heard of it until this week (?)

A bit like the F1 I suppose - money talks (especially when a proportion of it ends up ....   self censored...)

Cricket:

You could always pray for rain Terry (works for us sometimes)

I think my prayers have been answered mate! ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

I hear the rain came...


... but a little too late  ;D



Still, hit the heady heights of -1°C here yesterday and I managed to get out on my bike, albeit with so many layers that I could hardly bend my legs!

Well done Steve, I'm developing more respect for my British cousins as each day goes by, our cricket team is rubbish and I wouldn't ride any of my bikes for the last few months because I didn't want to risk getting them wet, even when the temps were much warmer than you're experiencing. I blame bottled water for all this, there must be something in it that's turned us all into poofs!  ;D

It's my Sprint that I ride Terry - I wouldn't go out on our corrosive roads with all that chrome! Give me plastic panels, fuel injection and heated grips any day!

Who mentioned the cricket?

The Aussie Cricket Team needs rootin, shootin and electrocutin.  ;D
It'll do 'em the world of good to stare down the wrong end of the barrel for a while.

Ha ha, that's the problem with the Rocket III Steve, it's so bloody big it takes all day to clean after a decent ride. I'm a rider, not a polisher, but I'd feel guilty if I treated it as bad as I do my CB750's! ;D

Looks like the boys have dropped the ball on the cricket feild,
but they can still catch it on the footy field.   :D

From the BBC News website:

For the second Test in a row Strauss' bowlers tore through Australia's top order in the first hour of the match, retained their composure through a middle-order rally, and bowled them out for less than 300 inside the first day.

Now I have to stay up until 11pm tonight to catch the highlights...

Mick - that "knee-on-the-ground" stance looks good.

Terry - you guys played well and we were crap (2nd Test but reversed roles)
It just goes to show that the two teams are a lot closer than we thought.

Roll on Boxing Day (or very late Christmas Day as it will be here...)
