Under pressure

I figured I should have checked the tyre pressures on the way home from purchasing the bike, but as usual with these sorts of things I was a lazy dick. I checked ’em today with a cheapass digital tyre pressure gauge I bought from Supercheap Auto and found they were at about half of what they were supposed to be - 22 / 27 front/back instead of 36 / 41!

Ride course idea

I’m thinking I might hit up this route one day soon - maybe even Saturday if I don’t get completely wasted by working a Friday night with this stupid ass cold. Hopefully the weather will warm up a tad, or at least leave the rain out of it so I can jam on some thermals and enjoy the ride instead of losing feeling in my legs again 🙁

Proud parent…

Sa-weeeeeeeeet. I collected my bike today, paying my money and getting the bike. You know how it works.

Everything went relatively smoothly except for the light rain starting just as we left to go do it. Riding back was a fun experience, finding out on the fly how the bike rode and where all the controls were 😛

I took it out for a ride tonight (yay rain) and I think it needs a damn good tune but otherwise seems sound. Time and inspections by mates will tell 😉

I got my motorbike licence!

I completed my Q-RIDE course with TeamMoto yesterday. So much fun, and because I started it before the 1st of July 2008, I got to get my full open bike license in a three day (one day every two weeks, due to work/etc) couse 🙂

As shown above, I look like a clown and have an R class Queensland license - allowing for an unrestricted engine sized motorbike 🙂

Google’s there for a reason

Yes, I looked up how to microwave rice on google. What the fuck else is the internet there for?

Porn? OK

Movies? OK

Information on useful things in life? Heaven forbid!

Oh, and while I’m admitting my sins, last year I looked up how to tie a tie on youtube, something that was never taught to me.
