Ha ha, while I obviously don't drink myself, I suppose I could drop a six pack around to Brian next visit, if he's allowed to have one or three............ Hey Brian, have you got access to a BBQ? ;D

Yes I do. ;D

OK mate, you organise the BBQ, and I'll organise some beers! Cheers, Terry. ;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?"

Woohoo! Beer and burned meat are just about 2 of my 3 favourite things Brian, apart from the inevitable discourse around all things motorcycling, it could be the Salem Witch Trials all over again! We better invite Cliff too, he's always good for some beers! Cheers, Terry. ;D

Okay - I am there.

And I am fitting the luggage rack back on the VFR so I can carry more beer on the bike.

Although I will bring the local Thornbury trendy wankers micro brew that I like to drink.

No worries Cliff, bring some of that poofter beer over so Brian and I can drink it once we finish off all the manly men beer. Hey Brian, are there any spare beds there at the Royal Talbot? By the time I drink all that beer you'll be walking better than me! ;D

Yes mate, I'm finally home after eight months, I was surprised the dog didn't bite me.
Still settling in and Ive been roped into lap scoring at a local MX meeting today.
I have some vid of me walking out of rehab under my own steam that was taken on my phone. I will post as soon as I work out how to down load it.

Cheers,
Brian

 ;D ;D ;D You bewdy, back into the world of action Brian, good to see your mates giving you a job. I must say if you get a bit legless at the club Brian there is a stainless pole on the dance floor that you could hang onto.
Brian your attitude towards success on the track reflects your attitude to what you have achieved in rehab. You got a strong mind mate, keep it up.

This is awesome news,  cheers Johno

Sorry for running of on you Tez.
When I got home we found that I could get around the house quite well, so when we got back to the rehab I had a full and frank discussion with the professor and the rest of my team.
After few buts we decided...................well I decided it was time for me to get on with the rest of my life.
I will be traveling to Wagga for rehab twice a week for a while (the price of my freedom)so a return to work full time will be on hold till I manage to jump through a few hoops for the powers that be.
I will be back in Melbourne @ the end of July for an assessment and I hope we can catch up then.
Thanks for all your help Tez, I certainly owe you a beer or two.

Cheers,
Brian
