SMS sent Kell. Settlement for house doesn't look like it'll happen this week, so I'm free for the weekend now. I need to do a swap to my brakes anyway

I just wanted out. And its not as bad as most divorces are. I do actually thank the ex for a civil split. Half the house value, right down to half the CDs. But we did argue over the motor vehicles. She wanted a share in my bikes. I warned her I'd come after her superannuation if she touched a finger on my bikes ... she left my bikes alone I'm aware that she's been playing the "sympathy card" going around saying she never felt safe around me and I was violent and she feared physical harm etc etc. Which is total bullshit. I loved her and would never have hurt her. The only time I even got anywhere near yelling at her, was during the split in the end. I gave her no reason to fear me ... so she's playing our friends against me. But most of them know its BS of course. In any case, I don't play those games. If I lose friends, they were never really my friends.

I saw that and thought "wouldn't that just f**k her right off!" Would have been good to stir the pot tho. And before anyone goes flaming me for public celebrating this, there are quite a few things you're all not aware of and things I won't make public here ever. In a nutshell, she lied to me thru the duration of our 9 year marriage, and then some more. Its gotten to the point where her own family hardly talk to her, and they're still considering me family more so than her.

Exactly!

The kiddies topic was one of the many things that led to the divorce. Hopefully the GF will provide As for the Autech ... wouldn't you like to know Don't sweat the pressures of marriage. The ups and downs are what strengthens the relationship. My ex and I had many ups and downs, it was the lies in the end that killed it. Doesn't matter how bad anything is, always be truthful to your partner. ... but you already knew that

Dr Phil? LOL Don't come to me for advice ... I'm only wiser because I've made mistakes Anyways, I'm the one who suffered and lost almost everything because of the ex, so if I can find some humour and relief in it, then its all good.

It is when its a cheating wife I'm getting away from.

The first warm night I get, I'll be out on the bike

Had that Billy Connolly song in my head. Well I've filled out the application for divorce papers today and I'm lodging them with the Family Court. I'm moving from the "separated" status to the "divorced" status ... oh goody, a whole new box to tick when I fill out forms now. It becomes official in about 90 days from today. Naturally, my GF is ecstatic! She doesn't feel so bad now, sleeping with a married man So, anyone else out there who is a divorcee? Let's unite! I'm going to get hella drunk this weekend to celebrate!!!

Settlement on the house is due today, yet there are still some final docs still needing to be lodged. So I think settlement won't happen today. I'll let you know if we ARE moving this weekend or not. We're still packing our life into boxes at the moment

Less than 2 hours from memory. Been to Stansbury and Androssan many times!

Umm, I think we'd need to ask Charmaine to volunteer for that role Or we could just drug her, kidnap her and string her up like a scare crow infront of the cars LOL

It'd be better than bogan bitches in druggie tops and thongs. Hmm, Charmaine huh?

Adrian could wear the skimpy top and hot pants

Well I think its an alright idea Craig. Not overpriced like Autosalon and if you turn it into a road trip/camping trip holiday, I'm sure some SAUers would go.

Crap! I'd love to go and put my Stag on the dyno for that ... but I'll be at the MotoGP. Cool idea tho. Haggle for entrants at the kart night

Great pic there Nick. Care if I steal it for a sig?

Not necessarily. I've visited WA (perth more specifically) many times and found it enjoyable. I remember trashing a few hotel rooms in my time there. :laugh If it wasn't so far away from everything else, I'd have considered living there.

If you've breached your good behaviour period then you're probably in for a longer haul. Altho it'll take time, the only option available to you would be as mentioned below ... Not sure if it'll cost ya, but anything thru the courts usually does. Good luck with it all anyway.

I think its more than just a few extra bucks. Court fees are not cheap. Did he get you unfairly? Were you not speeding? If you're 100%, then you can appeal and risk it thru court. Cop it sweet otherwise unfortunately.

You've answered your own question.

Just had a phone call from some wanker enquiring about my GSXR race bike. Him: "I heard you're selling a bike. What is it and how much?" Me: "GSXR 600 race or track bike only. No road gear. Comes with race stands front and rear, tyre warmers front and rear, spare race fairings, spare gearbox and other parts. $5000 flat." Him: "Will it take much to get it on the road?" Me: "Not my problem. You've called about a 'race bike' mate. Obviously, you haven't read the ad, nor do you know what you want to buy." Him: "Thats why I called you. I was only told by a mate you had a cheap bike for sale." Me: "I have a race bike for sale at a cheap price, if thats what you mean." (I've already made my mind up this guy is a tool) Him: "So its not registered?" Me: "You're a dreamer mate, and I don't deal with dreamers. I'm not selling a race bike to a young fool looking to kill himself racing on the street. Good bye" Him: "Nah, wait mate. I'm trying to buy a bike for my brother, not me. Can me and my brother come look at it." Me: "Won't get you any closer to owning it." [hang up phone] I get nothing but clueless f**kheads, dreaming they're the next Casey Stoner. But they all want a cheap road bike. Yet, they ring up for a bike advertised as a "race bike, no street gear". Then they try and talk me down on price. Its a bargain, its a steal, its the sale of the century ... f**k it I'm keeping it. [end rant]

I am interested. Very interested. Do you have pics, and postage quote for Adelaide? I posted stock front and rear shocks (2 separate packages) about $30 each from memory (for anyone else who wants to know too). I assume they'd be close to same weight?

Agreed. Yummy!

That's okay about the pics ... I've been busy (see above ) including getting settlement on two houses organised. I train in Shotokan Karate thru the KUA, JKA and SKIA (recently dropped the SKIA training ... too soft). Been doing it some 20 years now. Gotta keep fit somehow, as I have no time for the gym now (but I do have a home gym that sees some use from time to time).
