Sigh, forced to take 12 days of annual leave from the 22nd to the 12th of Jan because not going well / no work around.

know that forced leave feel.

but boss doesnt keep track of how much I have accumulated, sooo... he'd probably be nice enough to allow me 3 weeks without much questions

Well I'm forced to take one of those weeks unpaid, because I'd go -22 hours otherwise, and f**k that if i want to go away anywhere next year would be too hard and have no leave. A bit annoying, but I'll try to enjoy the time off and go upto Bright with the family/friends anyway probably.

Definitely. I don't believe in hurting the people that cared about the idiot. It's not thier fault and they have lost a mate no matter how much of a scumbag he is was

This, which is the reason I'm not on the VicPol FB saying he deserved it.

But I do wish it was more widely reported as stolen rather than credited as his bike, cause that seems to have been largely swept under the rug and family/friends certainly won't make mention of that. Very surprised the media missed that or police neglected to mention - their page is littered with reports of stolen vehicles involved in crashes or other crimes.

Perhaps when it's a fatality they figure it's a small detail?

I'd say a relevant detail given bike was being ridden with no number plates and speed was clearly a factor in the accident. Poor woman driving is being discredited/FBshamed by all these motorcyclists for being a shit driver when it's obvious he was speeding on a bike that wasn't his to begin with.

What if it was a stolen exotic car? Ultimate media dilemma.

Asshole arrogant rich man doing 280 crashes and dies

Or

Thief stole some rich mans exotic car and then died from a lethal amount of hooning

Yeah I'm not disagreeing just offering a suggestion as to why they left out that detail

Think they left it out because the journos would have asked for a few details at the scene and cops neglected to mention it was stolen / hadn't established it at the time. I'm just surprised they haven't updated the report. But at the same time, a motorcyclist dying doesn't constitute coverage these days, which is pretty sad, both because of the media's attitude and that it is so common..the latter probably causing the former. We'd rather here about the freak death of a cricketer who turns out was every Australian's best friend, that I'd never heard of prior to his death.

    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
    • @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
