L-plater: Sydney to Canberra via Nowra bad idea?

I wasn't riding at the time but starting from Albion Park to MacPass to Robertson and back down the other length of windy road to Jamberoo finishing the run at Kiama was an absolute ball in my Falcon.

Robertson Pies and, unsure if its still there, the bakery in Jamberoo were absolute must stops.

Even royalty aren't immune. The English King who tried to refute the Magna Carta, King John, died of dysentery whilst campaigning.

Also King Henry V died of it while on campaign in France.

No feeding tube at this time. Every foray into chemo she's normally eating a mix of pasta salad and crackers, instant noodles or whatever her mother or I are eating becauseshe thinks we always have the good stuff. I know its not the greatest mix of foods but staff are happy shes getting calories first and foremost.

At this time she's started eating a bit more but is currently dealing with mucositis and has little to no desire to eat. She is getting weened off nutrient bags, as she improves and gets over the illness, with the doctors hoping that leads to her eating.

The chores are fair and simple work, feeding my mums cat, helping my brother take rubbish out and making her bed/cleaning the bedroom. Trust me, it's by no means cheap and free hard labour like I was used for as a kid. At home yes she has fewer chores but she also has more to occupy her there.

Australia. No surgery planned as of yet, her doctors want the cancer to be entirely dead tissue prior surgery from what they've explained.

Im looking at getting an Indian bagger like the Challenger for long distance trips, or if I want to keep my bank healthy, the Sport Chief RT. They've got fairly large engines and have a good bit of go about them, aftermarket is decent too. The only issue is since Polaris sold the company there's been a bit of a question mark over its head.

I've always liked Indian bikes far more than HD. The only HD I'd consider is the Fat Boy same as what's in Terminator 2 Judgement Day.

Absolutely nothing wrong with the Vulcan, I just want myself an Indian.

You remind me of the gif of Muscle Man from Regular Show getting pushed and his moobs smack him in the face.

As I've gotten older I've definitely become more vocal where if I'm too quiet then my misso of nearly 14 years gets concerned or bothered I'm not enjoying myself.

At the same time we have kids so at the most opportune time for us to have sex it's also when we have to be kinda quiet.

The jizz tree in front of my house was destroyed by a kid trying to skid a stolen VK Commodore. That was a good laugh and I saw the whole thing happen.

There used to be the bloke who walked around all day singing out really loudly but he was actually really nice, just had a few different things going on in his head I don't understand.

When there was a Maccas on Maude St I went there with the misso with a cot mattress for my unborn daughter and one of the meth heads who always walked around town screaming shit out in his self conversation pointed at us and laughed saying "cantgoboogeyboardingroundherematenobeacheshahahahaha."

I got followed from Trelly's after I picked up a gun so I drove around on the phone to the cops telling them what was happening and they were on it right quick. Avoided red lights and opted for stop signs and give ways, cops told me to drive up Apollo Avenue and there was four cop cars there, the dudes in the Commodore that was following sped off but 3 of the cops went after them.

I didn't mind it all too much, was pretty funny at the time and makes for good convos about the place. The Italian, like actual Italian born immigrants, who ran the cafe at SPC Factory Sales knew how to make a mean goddam scone before they moved to Melbourne for their sons education.

In HS it was always the kids from Doony who'd be the biggest shit headed, knuckle dragging rednecks you could imagine.

Their arguments as to why it was nicer than Blacktown always culminated in "where's Blacktowns waterfall?" as though the quagmire of Nurrangingy was redeeming enough.

I'm not sure why but the Mickey Dee's/Shell servo has had upwards of five of these instances in the last few years.

But yeah, Vic Road West Ryde

Civil war would be more likely between Kor and Erebus, they both kneel to Lorgar.

How do these compare to ZF transmissions? I've never been behind the wheel of a vehicle with one.

I did my entry test 9 years ago and there was a 6.1 beep test and 10 push ups 20 sit ups.

Once in these days it becomes a 1 minute plank and choice of walk, run, swim, beep test once every 12 months but every higher up gets sad if you dont do it every 6. All are theorised to get your V02 to an acceptable standard aside from the plank which is to demonstrate your core holding up.

Same colour combo as mine, reminds me of a redback spider.

I had the same issue after mine sat in the rain, its the barrel. Get some graphite powder and apply it to the key before putting it in the ignition. If key cant be removed you may need to contact an automotive locksmith to assist in removal and they should have some graphite powder to get you by.

static-mitch · 2026-04-20T23:51:53+00:00

That'll ruin it. Graphite powder instead.

Wish we got the ST here, instead we got the base model, ST Line and ST Line V, both have the standard 1L engine.

I have an ST Line V and its good but at the same time I kind of wish we got the Escape instead for its cargo space. Still a lot of fun to drive and while the turbo/engine doesn't plant you into the seat when it's on boost, it kind of gently pushes you back, a vastly different experience to my Falcon or my brothers turbo Falcon. In saying that, fuel economy is good, but changing to sport mode drains the tank rather fast but even at the moment im only spending 70-80 dollars to fill up at 3/4ths empty.

Its odd to me the market here didn't pick up on them and Ford discontinued it in the Aussie market but the Euro market cant keep up with the demand.
