Bikes… more bikes.

Miss Waysel wanted to show the other girls on night shift some bike pics (Coz She’s TUFF ENUFF!)

Here we go:
HER (actually MY) Cagiva Mito 125 SOLD!
A thoroughbred racing machine, the itty bitty 125 Two stroke could put a lot of other bikes to shame- and regularly did. It was Rachel’s first “gears and clutch” bike- and with a really twitchy engine and 7 gears, it was a tough learning curve. Looking at this photo, one thing is clear- it’s love!

My Triumph Speed Triple Still got!
I mean really folks- have you ever seen anything mechanical be this sexy? Really?! It’s 955cc’s of British perfection. It’s like Jordan with class, the Spice girls with talent, like… errr… Ok- this is the ONLY sexy thing to come out of the UK – ever.

In the pits @ Phillip Island

MY (actually this really is Rachel’s)BMW R1100GS- The Bavarian Tractor. Still got it!
What you see below is perhaps the greatest bike ever made. Ask any motocyclist you know and they’ll reluctantly agree. I mean what bike can go round corners like a sports bike, do 0-100 in 4 seconds, go round Oz, go 220 km/h fully loaded (on The unlimited speed highwaysof the NT!) go through mud, sand, water, snow and so on happily with 40 kilos of luggage and two people and only break down once with a minor issue? A BMW GS bike that’s fuggin what!!

Thomas ‘slapped’ with curfew

DON’T PANIC!
Thomas ‘slapped’ with curfew :

“Federal police have issued accused terrorist Jack Thomas with a control order, putting him under curfew and forcing him to return to Melbourne.”

Phew! I saw the headline and thought “Great- Rachel’s finally got her court order approved…”

Guess not!

"Trainspotting" author says his wild days are over

“Trainspotting” author says his wild days are over:

“Scottish author Irvine Welsh, best known for the gritty Edinburgh novel ‘Trainspotting,’ poses at the Algonquin Hotel in New York, August 14, 2006. Welsh’s latest book is another tale of vicious characters made worse by alcohol and drugs but the bad boy of Scottish literature says his own wild days are over.”

Say it ain’t so!!

For those of you who have not yet read “Trainspotting” (I’m looking at YOU Jake!) then fer chrissake ye needs ta gettit intaya!

It’s a tough read- at first- but by the end you should have a rich Scottish Brogue (you may need to read parts of it out loud for it to make sense) that will fool Mel Gibson.

Whatever that means…
