I was tempted to put my hardtop back on with the horrible weather we have had recently

In a twist of ironic fate, this is the day I promised my Motorcycle instructor I'd go round and build a PC for his son. Bum.

on a serious note how often do you head out for a blast?

i've not done a distance for years. too frustrating.

today some goon in a 4x4 decided to try and touch the rear of our mighty GTD Golf he was that macho. strangely not macho enough to pull over for a 'chat' though. i find the roads full of monkey brains like that and people carriers trying to collide with everything

I despise that behaviour.

For real driving, a summer Sunday at 5am is where it is at.

Went out for a blast in the car, first time in awhile. I now realize why I took my motorbike test! cant enjoy the roads very much these days, always get stuck behind something. And when you do overtake on a NSL road people think you are a complete fool with a death wish!

5am is a bit too early!!

I do enjoy the summer drive @ midnight with the roof down though, and the heater on

That's why I love bikes - it's 5am all the time.
