Talk about a slap in the face.

My bike went in for a service yesterday, and I always grab a loan bike to get to work.

Guess what they gave me, yep a new FZ8 :spank: Yep, still abit touchy after having to part with my 6 last October & the fact Yamaha axed the 6 for the 8 :spank:

How did it ride???? Well, felt smaller than the 6 :spank:. Power delivery smoother :spank: But it sounded great with that 2 Bros Carbon on it

Would I take an 8 over the 6, no way. An FZ1, well they did have a new naked midnight black one sitting at the stealership..........

Fourth "heatwave" for Perth this summer.

We're out of the city, so typically here we are @ 2'C hotter in summer and 2'C cooler in winter.

It hit 40'C at midday. Its been 42'C for about 2 hours now. It's hot. Bloody hot. Too hot to do ANYTHING today, so surfing the web, watching the Titans V Raiders and about to have a beer. Thank GOD for beer and air-conditioning

We have had the mildest summer this year, for a very long time, in fact, it already feels like we are heading well away from any more hot days!

Chin up.

It was a lovely 27c day today in Adelaide...nice light breeze, perfect riding weather.

 

[Kazza]

Trouble is, it ended up being 41'C at our place again, not 38

Today is a pleasant 31'C.

Phew!

I was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat last year. According to my cardiologist, it's a GOOD irregular heartbeat, rather than a BAD irregular heartbeat.

I swear Cronulla just turned it into a BAD one.

For f**** sake. 17-0 up then you just win 17-14? I can't take being a Cronulla fan anymore. You're not good for my health - physically and mentally.

I can't take this anymore.....................................

Where do you do your service?
I have never had any dealership that provide a loan bike.

Yeah, and some of those loan bikes are pretty crappy....but some are fun too! Worst one i ever got was a Virago, that didnt steer, brake, or move forward without extreme provacation....

Most fun loaner I have had was a TDM 900 , that was seriously fun & could easily buy one it the look was a little sharper :rockon: Worst thing I had was a crappy old Krapasaki ZZR600 :spank:
