Motorcycle Learner


Thanks Mal for the loaner of the "Fat Hog". The beauty about riding a postie is that even 50 km/h feels like a blistering pace.

I did get my learner's permit back in 1999, but it has expired in the meantime. I had a few stacks back then - always yanking on the front brack at the slightest sign of danger. Oh, but it will be all different this time around... I will be so careful.

Good on you McMaster! Paula has been hugging some redwoods, right? Who is Chris, btw? Say g'day to all those guys from me anyhow Mix and keep on partyin' - less chillin'.

Good onya mate! I wish I had have got my P's before I left but I guess I'll be in the same boat as you and have to go and get pushed around for half a day. After that we'll have to do some touring though!

I'm looking at getting a bike that would be set up for some good rides around the countryside. It is called the hyosung GT650S - what do you think? Other bikes on my shortlist are the Honda VTR250 and Kawasaki ER500.

That's an early post from you, Angie! Oh - of course it is you bro'. Cowra people everywhere, hey? So are you an early bird at the office today?

Hey there Pinko

my friend rogie just bought a bike, it is a honda triple x blackbird 1100. I think this might be too much bike to handle for you though. he eh e eh.

Alcifer said...

Hi Pia! Maybe you are right... Though perhaps my week of riding the postie is adequate training? Nah.

Hey Pinks,
Nah.. I've now started working from 7.30am - 4pm. So I'll be in the office early a lot from now on. I really like it too!
