    We are going to get a wet arse.

    I've bought the over jacket, glued up the crotch seams of the pants.
    Hit the visor with rain-ex, again.

    Let's see whether this is enuff prep for huey to call off the rain dance.
    Somehow i doubt it.

    However as noted above.
    Once we get thru it we should be a show.

    Will take the sheepy.
    But in a pannier.

    Bought a hemaroid pad today.
    Inch thick dense foam.
    As soon as the rain clears i'll tape it to the seat and throw the sheepy over it!
    Ha Ha!

    Getting twitchy. Cheers R.

    They were challenging but many of them were wet!
    Funny that, rain in a rainforest!

    I got home sunday nite did about 4850 kms in 9 riding days.
    B&J are still out there somewhere.
    Probably glad i came thru SEQ when i did.
    Awful wet down there atm.

    Weather looked OK at the SBK.

    Cheers R.

    Got back around 9pm last night 9500kms in 21 days, feeling quite rooted, had a great time riding good roads in north NSW with Brett & Jules and Rusty, left them at Glen Innes and joined up with Moree mob and others had some great roads Vic alps and Snowy is the best in Oz on a fine day which is what we had, about 13 bikes and more at different stages 3 busas, 3 GSXR1000, 4 firestorms, VFR800, Aprilia RSV2, ZX12R all good blokes and great company, a lot of laughs and good fun. Racing was the best, Suzuki and Ducatis kings at PI, Suzuki still has the awesome power it had last year but they are managing to conserve tyres they have done their homework in 2009 with good riders also and bikes were 1 &2 in second WSBK race for a few laps something I think will be repeated a lot this season. Carlos Checa must have the biggest nuts racing passing into MG on three occasions to take race 2 from eightth position on grid and man does that privateer Duck bounce out of the corners! BMW same as last year as was Aprilia and Honda very disappointing, Yamahas both crashed in race 1, Toseland right in front of where I was standing, looked bad as he highsided and landed on back of his head but came good and even competed in race 2 much to his credit. Did not get to ride around track as heat before me guy was killed (he was 72 and on hire GSXR600 crashing out of corner 2 and an Aprilia ran into him also coming off), guess I will have to return again next year!
