Rick's got that big f#ckin truck ... hang on .. he could cart all us West Australians over to Adelaide for RDU 2014. That way you'll get to see his bike Richard , and we get to party/sleep/polish the bikes/play monopoly in the back of the Pantech across the stinking Nullarbor ... what ya reckon Rick

I would love to TC but unfortunately I'm running north west only.Mine sites, and I rarely get time at home anymore.I have often thought that I would get to RDU one day.

Picked up my brand new roadster today.My other bike, a rocket 3 will be down for awhile and I couldn't stand the thought of not having a bike this summer.Some of you may know I have damaged the crank and rod/s on my 240 Carp rocket 'Pony". The roadster is my interim ride until 'Pony's fixed and I will decide later wether she stays or goes, but right now, after only 125kms, I have to say, I REALLY like it. I wasnt going to get it initially but my partner Tammy, insisted I get it.These are the three reasons I got it..One, its xmas, so its a present from Tam to me, and Two, she wants me out of her way and not mopeing around the house, sayin things like 'the boys are goin for a ride...wish I was going'.Three, a mate of mine was diagnosed with cancer,3 months ago.He died 2 days ago.Sealed it for me. I have named it "Shorty'' after my mate Dougie Whittle, who was a tough, cranky little bastard,with a heart of gold, genuine old school, hard working man, that hailed from New Zealands south island. RiP Shorty

I'm very sorry for you loss, my friend.

God bless,

Rick

Rick, that's really tough luck about your bud, Doug, but a great way you found to keep him close to both your heart and mind. I'll bet he's giving you two big thumbs up every time you sport the permagrin!
