    Good luck, it is bound to be wet, but at least the rain is warm. The new road from Townsville to Cairns will be good to ride on and will stop you getting flooded in.

    Rocky is around 4 1/2 hours (grannys pace) on a no stops run from Maryborough, let me know if you plan on doing Marborough earlier other wise will see you all about 11 on the 28th

    Is Ubes coming on this run? if he is I can let the Sexie coffee girls know so they can jack the prices up specially for him

    Hey RT, any room for a BLUE rocka? Could meet up at Proserpine BP and go from there. How long would the duration of the run be? Gotta put it to the missus to run the shop for me for the whole time I'm away. Must've missed KB,didn't hear from him.

    I hope it all works out for you enforcer. Bikes with short travel suspension like a harley are pretty cruel on a bad back. But if you have a pillion they cop it instead. Does that make you feel better?

    Must admit Trev, have been to a doctor for the middle finger thrust, and when they say, just lie on the bed on your side, put your knees up to your chest  and relax,sure relax when you know the next thing your going to get is a finger up your blurter scared the shit outa me, glad she only had small fingers and no rings on them, i think she had ribbed fingers on her gloves, something to do with more pleasure for the patient, that is my only experince, oh i did watch Road Trip one time.

    BACK PAIN SUFFERERS TAKE NOTE:
    As briefly as possible boys & girls.
    I had a herniated (bulging) disc. My local doc said "they will cut across your belly,lift your guts out and work on your disc that way first,stitch you up,then basically flip you over and your cut about 10 inches up either side of your spine and messed about with from that angle. 10 days in hosp,lots of pain etc. Fluked a show on Discovery channel about a herniated disc op with "Minimally Invasive Surgery" done. Watched it cool that's for me. Eventually got on to Dr Guazo,a neuroligist, in T/ville who does M.I.Surgery. I went into theatre Tues arvo,got outta bed next morning (very carefully!!!) had a shower and back to bed. I asked the nurse that was doing the dressing "how many stitches have I got?"Her reply "None!" Just a coupla butterfly stitches,and the cut was about an inch long!!! They went in small cut and moving stuff aside to get to the bulging disc,cut the bulging bit off flush with my vertebrae and jobs done. Got the bus back home 4 days later,little bit of pain,(from the small incision) and that was it. The pain before that op was extremely excruciating,agony. The bulge pushing on the Sciatic nerve causes the pain. Had to let that out for all you Herniated Disc Sufferers. Go for it. PS My outlaw had the "lots of big cuts" type op for exactly tha same prob and suffered immense pain. My doc didn't tell me about M.I.S, duh!!
