Good to be back! 66, definitely going to have to make a trip up there this summer. Didn't even know OB was expanding to the east coast!

^^ Yeah, and they actually post real thoughts and pictures of stuff like their kids and fast motorsickles and fish and stuff . . . not just selfies of their nostril hairs.

Where's the fun in that?
I'll start posting pictures of fast motorscooters when I have one...that old 250 is a big of a pig, but it'll do for now.

Finished watching the men's runs at the Cairns World Cup yesterday at lunchtime. Gad, what a brutal course - - mud & roots and a gnarly rock section. You know it's tough when it's making the pros look human. Besides the racing action, highlight had to be (as usual) Rob Warner's commentary. A couple of gems:
" . . . [that was] messier than cooking a microwave burger in a trouser press!"
". . . he's all over the place - - he's off-line like a Russian border."
