off on holiday - travelling whilst the mighty Qld Reds face the Crusaders in the Super 15 rugby final.
A few friends either watching in Brisbane or at the game at Lang Park so lets hope the good guys get up (although you can't not want the Crusaders to also win after the terrible year that town has had).
Mind you the buggers have won the title a million times bfore so fairs fair - it's our time!!)
Mighty Qld Maroons whipped the hopeless arseclown Blues once again much to Shaneo's joy - is there any point to State of Origin anymore? Always nice to see Tricky Ricky upset and nice to see Darren Lockyer get a good final game.
Have a good one

July 3rd 2011 - is the end in sight?
Snails pace progress continues but...
Steve managed to get the carbies working as the slides had seized. Slides now fully open and inside of the carbies looked good. Let's hope this bodes well.
Gave the carbs a good cleaning upon return (see pics) and have now reattached the carbs/throttle cables etc so in theory, with a new battery and some fuel we know have a functioning motorcycle. The front brakes just need new pads/fluid/reattachment so with a bit of luck we might be good to go by end of month/early August. the pan is to get it running and then off to the shop for a service and some advice re how much needs replacing for an MOT.
Thanks to Saunders Motorcycles in Knebworth for the advice re carby repair.

Watched MotoGp - Lorenzo wins so it looks like Casey Stoner won't have it all his way this year. Spies looks good and Marco S continues to impress with his haircut and ability to annoy everyone else. Rossi not making much progress with the Ducati it seems..
Mighty Qld Reds made Super 15 rugby Final - unbelievable.
Dean, Craig, Matt & Shaneo all made the BrizVegas Saturday semi final game in various capacities and report that it was awesome. Have just realised that I'll be driving to Cornwall whilst the final is on so will be relying on drunken (and hopefully happy) texts from Oz to keep me up to speed.
C'mon the Reds and the Maroons this week!!!
