5th is Dad's birthday sorry mang.

Morning fags,

Lasergetownedbybattlestargalacticanerds was a great success.

TFIF? Although work tomorrow...but that means BBQ

[-Boz-]

Morning all.

Only three days of holiday left, then three weeks of work before I get to head off to my new gig. Going to be three weeks of no fun and total lack of motivation

[hylian]

Balls. I finish work at 2 on Saturday's, if your still going then I'll pop around.

[mosquitocoils]

Morning all - how was fagertag?

My guitar sold to a guy in Perth...... so now the hectic postage battle begins!

Also starting off my half sleeve tomorrow, so excited!!

[hylian]

Farkin shit. Why would they hire me to have me sit here doing nothing. My team leader comes back on Monday so I think I'll be having words. I'm not commuting in a final solution style train trip every day to sit here bored out of my farkin mind.

[Smity42]

The fan. Shit has hit it.

End.

[Isola]

Drive from Aspley (home) to Windsor (work). Epic traffic is epic. I get to work, and have to take some ecus and drive back out to Brendale. Fuuuu. Epic traffic is still epic. Fuuuuuu. Fuel light comes on. Fuuuuuu. Fuel light goes off. Poker face. Fuel light comes on and stays on. Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Made it back, but I don't know if the ute is going to make it up to the petrol station...

[Beelzebub89]

unlucky. Doing programme up for design drawings to be finalised. We programmed in to pour ground level pour 1 on the 5th of march. By my programme the drawings for that slab won't be complete until the 9th of March. Going to be some long days in the coming weeks.

[PWND]

Tentative moving date should be the 5th of March, mangs. Anyone who can come and help is welcome. The more people we have the faster it'll get done. We're going to start packing things this weekend, so it should be a simple case of carry heavy things, disassemble the TV unit to get it out the door and then just uteing/carrying/carting/trollying the stuff up to the new townhouse/unit thingy

If there're any changes to the date I'll let you know as soon as I can, but it's 99% confirmed

Normally could assist, but chances are that I will be busy with the kids

so the fun begins

i now know why when you own a skyline you are always poor. My list of things i need to get done ot my car is getting bigger by the day. Now need 4x new tyres as my wacked out wheel alignment has made the inside of my front tyres racing slicks. AND thatwas after nissan did the wheel alingment! Add that to the service, fix boot leak, replace clock spring in steering wheel so my stupid airbag light goes off, repaint interior dash console and replace steering wheel. When is a guy gonna have time to actually start moddifying the bleeding thing.

Nah just roll on stockos, you'll be right as long as you dont drive in the rain.

I thought yours was modified a bit? If your who I think you are, it had some sick inductionssss

[Dan_B]

shit has hit the fan here too. Although it's quiet at the moment, well im doing my mountain of product/technical reports. Fun times here too.

Was really hoping to get to the transport department today to do my learners test for my bike license

Was really hoping to get to the transport department today to do my learners test for my bike license

Is there written test for a motorbike learners permit still just an additional five questions? I was stupefied at how easy it was when I got mine back in '02.

[Dan_B]

still just 5 questions i have been told. Easy to get the learners, then i'll need to book for my Q-Ride and purchase a nice bike

[-Boz-]

Q-Ride was a joke when I did mine. If they REALLY want to address the issues with the LARGE numbers (% wise) of fatalities on bikes then they need to address the rider training as well as driver education. They simply assume you have a basic set of road craft skills already (hazard detection, reading traffic, basic road rules etc) so all the training is about how to handle a bike (easy) and how to perform a lot of emergency procedures and safe low speed maneuvers (hard.)

The problem is that you have SO much more to worry about on a bike then you do in a car. The training doesn't really address any of that and for people like me I got my bike license before my car license so I was lacking the assumed skill set.

At least they teach you how to control skids, emergency braking and proper counter steering. Doubt any of the driving instructors out there teach any of that. Much more important to make sure that people in a car can perform a 3-point turn without turning the wheels while stationary then teaching them how to control a car if the back end kicks out due to oil/water/gravel... *facepalm*

Aussie driver/rider training is a joke. Better instruction, more of it, more relevant practical tests and make EVERYONE spend time in both a car and a bike, even if it's only one 2 hour session. Most people in tin tops don't realise what riders face.

QFT although when I did my Q Ride I thought my trainers were really good. They spent the majority of the day drilling into everyone hazard detection and where you should be placing yourself on the road to give yourself enough time to respond to hazards etc. Still I agree about the spending more time on/in a bike/car and more relevant practical tests.

[-Boz-]

My instructors were GREAT, but a single 8 hour session is NOT enough to get you ready for the road when on a bike. I'm not saying what they teach isn't great, compared to what a run of the mill driving instructor teaches they a light years in front, there really isn't enough of it

I'd still buy another bike if I could afford it - Skyline or sensible DD and a bike, no way I could afford my 34 AND a bike at the same time... Might need to hit my new bosses up for a raise sooner then I thought.

Might also need to loose a few kg's to get back into my leathers
