I'm sitting in my garden listening to the world working Mowers going people talking birds singing I'm trying to capture the little Robin that's calling by I can smell wet soil and mown grass it's like my senses are heightened to these things
I went across to Ducati Manchester with my pal Matt. Ended up having a few hours test ride on the Scrambler Cafe Racer
Was it the cafe racer you took out from Duc Mcr a little while back? Got your inner thigh hot as I remember!
Yes it was. I think that the cafe racer I rode last time (it's was DUK's and not Ducati Manchester's demo) must have had a problem because the one I rode today was no worse than my current Classic and/or Panigale. Also this time I managed to rag it and it is a proper fun bike. Ergonomically it's very comfortable. Handling is fantastic. The 17" front wheel makes it turn on a sixpence! Really nimble. I took it on some difficult B roads to see how it fared and it was as good as the Classic. And on the motorway I got it to a very respectable speed. Nothing passed me, but I passed plenty of cars and sports bikes! The engine is tuned differently to the first generation Scramblers and seems a lot smoother. And though it still has one front disc it did seem to have stronger brakes. Added to which I've been offered a good deal on mine so I'm seriously tempted to change.
just read this about an Aussie radio station... Many Sydney folks DID hear this on the FOX FM morning show in Sydney. The DJs play a game where they award winners great prizes. The game is called 'Mate Match'. The DJs call someone at work and ask if they are married or seriously involved with someone. If the contestant answers'yes',he or she is then asked 3 random yet highly personal questions. The person is also asked to divulge the name of their partner with (phone number) for verification. If their partner answers those same three questions correctly, they both win the prize. One particular game, however, several months ago made the Harbour City drop to its knees with amazement Anyway, here's how it all went down: DJ: 'Hey! This is Ed on FOX-FM. Have you ever heard of 'Mate Match'?' Contestant: (laughing) 'Yes, I have.' DJ: 'Great! Then you know we're giving away a trip to the Gold Coast if you win. What is your name? First only please.' Contestant: 'Brian.' DJ: 'Brian, are you married or what?' Brian: (laughing nervously) 'Yes, I am married.' DJ: 'Thank you. Now, what is your wife's name? First only please.' Brian: 'Sara.' DJ: 'Is Sara at work, Brian?' Brian: 'She is gonna kill me.' DJ: 'Stay with me here, Brian! Is she at work?' Brian: (laughing) 'Yes, she's at work.' DJ: 'Okay, first question - when was the last time you had sex?' Brian: 'About 8 o'clock this morning.' DJ: 'Atta boy, Brian.' Brian: (laughing sheepishly) 'Well...' DJ: 'Question #2 - How long did it last?' Brian: 'About 10 minutes.' DJ: 'Wow! You really want that trip, huh? No one would ever have said that if a trip wasn't at stake.' Brian: 'Yeah, that trip sure would be nice.' DJ: 'Okay. Final question. Where did you have sex at 8 o'clock this morning? Brian: (laughing hard) 'I, ummm, I, well...' DJ: 'This sounds good, Brian. Where was it at?' Brian: 'Not that it was all that great, but her mum is staying with us for couple of weeks...' DJ: 'Uh huh...' Brian: '...and the Mother-In-Law was in the shower at the time.' DJ: 'Atta boy, Brian.' Brian: 'On the kitchen table.' DJ: 'Not that great?? That is more adventure than the previous hundred times I've done it. Okay folks, I will put Brian on hold, get his wife's work number and call her up. You listen to this.' [3 minutes of commercials follow. ] DJ: 'Okay audience; let's call Sarah, shall we?' (Touch tones.....ringing....) Clerk: 'Kinkos.' DJ: 'Hey, is Sarah around there somewhere?' Clerk: 'This is she.' DJ: 'Sarah, this is Ed with FOX-FM. We are live on the air right now and I've been talking with Brian for a couple of hours now.' Sarah: (laughing) 'A couple of hours?' DJ: 'Well, a while now. He is on the line with us. Brian knows not to give any answers away or you'll lose. Sooooooo... do you know the rules of 'Mate Match'?' Sarah: 'No.' DJ: 'Good!' Brian: (laughing) Sarah: (laughing) 'Brian, what the hell are you up to?' Brian: (laughing) 'Just answer his questions honestly, okay? Be completely honest.' DJ: 'Yeah yeah yeah. Sure. Now, I will ask you 3 questions, Sarah. If your answers match Brian's answers, then the both of you will be off to the Gold Coast for 5 days on us. Sarah: (laughing) 'Yes.' DJ: 'Alright. When did you last have sex, Sarah?' Sarah: 'Oh God, Brian....uh, this morning before Brian went to work.' DJ: 'What time?' Sarah: 'Around 8 this morning.' DJ: 'Very good. Next question. How long did it last?' Sarah: '12, 15 minutes maybe.' DJ: 'Hmmmm. That's close enough. I am sure she is trying to protect is manhood. We've got one last question, Sarah. You are one question away from a trip to the Gold Coast. Are you ready?' Sarah: (laughing) 'Yes.' DJ: 'Where did you have it?' Sarah: 'OH MY GOD, BRIAN!! You didn't tell them that did you?' Brian: 'Just tell him, honey.' DJ: 'What is bothering you so much, Sarah?' Sarah: 'Well...' DJ: Come on Sarah.....where did you have it? Sarah: 'Up the arse.....'
@Wayne58 I've always wanted a professional TI-camera for bat watching combined with a ultrasound detector, seeing animals roosting in the hedge rows. Or simply diagnosing a issue with a mates drag engine & his other insane toys. The usual seeing pets & house stuff glowing & seeing people with circulation issues can be shown up on pro-kit. We'll see, if I add funky images & videos in the near future' Just back from a trek around the beacon beacon, got a bit of a discount from touratech for some soft-luggage & bits-n-bobs. Although my afternoon meal at the cafe-express crossroads was awful. I think they must of microwaved my burger as it was hard & rubbery, I should of complained & got it replaced.

It's our anniversary today - we married in 2006, and both of us agreed that we would cut down on our smoking after the marriage, restricting cigarettes to one, but only after we'd had sex. I'm still on the same packet. Strangely, my wife goes through four packets a month
Yep, so just be fecking on ya toes should you drag ya sorry northern monkey asses down here. WE MEAN BUSINESS!!!
