More recent pic ... Anyone want a mechanically excellent Stagea?

Told ya I had a big back yard. Pic from a while ago. You can see where the pool is going in. Got Council approval and the SA Water permit! The tap for the garden hose is where the house extension finishes, and still got 200m2 open space

OMG ... one nit-wit had the car on ramps, in gear only, and removed the tailshaft ... guess what happened next Some people just shouldn't go near cars.

Tangles, you post whore

Nope. Got lots of shit to do before the xmas break ... just can't be arsed doing it right now. I've been handballing some jobs off down the chain of command I'm currently logging and checking all the CAD work I've done for the past 2 months so they're correctly invoiced to clients. And archiving completed CAD jobs. Boring! Then after that, I've got end of month (November) bookkeeping reports to prepare. Boring (again).

Just had "words" with an asshole tradie who verbally abused one of my staff. He parks his fully loaded 4WD ute and trailer up our driveway, blocking parking spaces and entry to our carpark. And there was a client trying to get out! My assistant goes out as he's walking off and informs him he can't park there. He ignores her and goes to a nearby residential address. He walks back to his vehicle after my assistant gets his attention and starts ripping into her with "What the f**k is your problem?" She's being polite and telling him he is blocking the carpark and must move. Now she is the most timid women I know, but he's ripping into her like the world has ganged up on him. He tells her she can wait as he's "just going to reverse into the f**king driveway when the gate is open, so don't get ya f**king knickers in a knot ya impatient woman!". I stormed out there because it looked like the "big man" was going to get physical with a 50yo woman and remained polite while he's screaming at me. I told him to move the car now. There is "ample of room on the street" and he "has no business with us, so his vehicle must be moved now or I will have it towed". He calls me an impatient kent (oh the language on this feral) and says I need a f**king chilll pill. I still inform him we have a client he has blocked in, he has illegally parked, and he is the idiot who can't read signs. Then he made the threat of "hope the cars have insurance ya bastards!". I instructed my assistant to get the camera. I take a picture of his vehicle and tell him I'm forwarding it to Council for his parking offence, and I'll forward it to the police if any vehicle is damaged in any way. I've obtained his business details from the side of his ute and we'll be sure to inform our business associates. We'll be letting Council know too, so life will be difficult for him if he lodges any building approvals/consents. What a jerk. If he learnt to read, he would have known our company could affect his business. Fail!

Thats why I have my tatts planned for only 2-3" below elbow, so I can roll up my sleeves and still hide my tatts. My admin staff know I have tatts because I've spoken about them, but they've never seen them The consultants and my bosses have no idea I have tatts at all I've got more ink work lined up in the next couple of weeks, and that'll start to push me over into the "excessively tattooed" category, but you wouldn't know it when I wear my everyday office attire. As said before, my tatts are for me, representing things in my life I'm proud of. No one else gets to see them unless I take my clothes off

That falls into the same category as those twats that park at McDs or Hungrys and throw their rubbish out the window ... when they're parked right in front of a bin I reckon littering like that in a car park whilst in your vehicle should be a traffic offence. My 2c worth.

Ah shit no. Sorry mate, my friend hasn't gotten back to me and I'm been busy and forgot. I'll nag him again this arvo and get back to you. Can you give me a nudge end of week just in cases? Actually ... send me the PM again. I clean out my box recently.

Repco have things like that Do the first visit right and it won't come to that. Make sure he's aware you will be back, but he won't know when. But you should analyse first, what is it worth to you? Is that money he owes you really worth it? Sometimes, for me, its not just the money but the disrespect from it that I go after people for. I hate people taking my money, but I really hate people bullshitting me first, taking my money, then bullshitting me more. Thats worth bending a few laws for. But you must also be willing to see it thru. Don't make threats you can't follow thru. If you 'subtly' threaten that you'll be "upset" if you have to visit again, then you must be willing to back that up to show you're serious. It may mean getting physical. But also remember, its his property and his castle. He has the right to defend himself, no matter how much of a rip off or asshole he is. There is a point in this where it can get ugly if you don't know what you're doing. For now, the money has come in slowly. Ask to have the matter reviewed, because I'm sure he'd have a better paying job etc. Try any of those avenues first.

Sometimes that approach works. Did for me ... twice. Most people are cowards by nature. They don't have to deal with you face to face. Just like keyboard warriors. Turn up on their doorstep and make it clear to them that if you have to come back for your money/goods/other, you'll be "disappointed" and you won't be so polite. Avoid yelling at them, and talk in a calm but stern voice. They'll pick up that you're serious. Its not your size or what you do that makes a difference, but how you say/do it. Menacing comments with a double meaning go a long way, like "You're a smart man, I obviously won't need to come here again will I?" or "If you can't remember how to make things right the proper way, I can come back and do it my way". ... but I'm a nice chap I am

Try riding a bike and those embers get into your helmet, or eye. Well, so many people do it. Why should they dirty up their car, when they can just dirty up the streets.

Kudos to Damo (tryandcatchme) for the detail done to my Stagea Its the cleanest the car has been since it landed in Australia earlier this year I reckon

I'll see if I can make the meet spot, but not the cruise. I may be a little "seedy" as it is my birthday 2 days before and I usually stay drunk-ish from xmas thru to new years

There are always clowns in the crowd, which is why we chose to ride up ahead. There are always bikes coming to grief either thru breakdown, overheating or just dickheads in general. My mate Jess was riding her VFR back down Glen Osmond after with me and Tracy riding with her. Some stupid idiot in a BMW changed lanes on us even tho he saw us clear as day! Hustling his way across intentionally waving 1.7 tons of metal. I was in a position to get out the way, but Jess was already forced off the road and into a slip lane she didn't want and almost up the gutter. We stopped at the lights and abused the dickhead. He was shit scared when he realised he had no where to go ... not so tough now Hope he enjoys the "mods" to his car!

Toy Run was great. Enjoyed giving the little kids a passing hi-five ... hope I didn't break any of their little fingers The odd shower on the way up was annoying, but not enough to get wet thru the leathers and all. It was amusing to see the stall for the FREE Australia party. Mike Rann does look the spitting image of Hitler. Illegal event or not (under Rann's stupid laws) the Toy Run has always been a success. Was good to see the 3 clubs at ease with each other ... which was good for me and Pete as we were in the middle of it all. Heard more talk on that issue after the Toy Run Pete. Caught up with a few MRA guys and Mr Rann is running scared with this new political party being formed. Some senior MRA reps and party members have discovered that their phones have been taped too. Also heard a funny little story about how Media Mike's first wife left him for a biker ... motive?

Rule #1: Never get a partner's name tattooed on any part of your body. Rule #2: You may have your name tattooed on them, but not the other way around (see Rule #1)

Paranoia ... amped and wired!

TOY RUN FTMFW!!!!! Getting ready for it now. Hopefully the weather stays good and we get near 20,000 bikes out again this year! I've just cleaned the sexy Italian and she's lubed for some riding Or its just because its a big v-twin and they vibrate everything loose Good that you discovered it Pete. I'll give you a call soon buddy and tee up a time and place to meet. I think my mates will be at Cibo/post office at 10am.

I went past the meet spot after getting my Subway dinner Lots of cars that the cops would have had fun with.

So ... the missus doesn't know about the tattoo? I so want to come to ya mother's 40th now to see the reaction Show it off ya big girl!

Told you you'd regret selling it Yeah, most of the old school bikers aren't out as much anymore. Too many softies and egos on bikes now, with their "gold card" shiny new gear You going to view the Toy Run riding past Damo? Tracy and I will be in it.

You're the pussy Get tatts down both arms ... then we'll talk pain mother-freaker!
