Just wondering... do all the Ducatis fit in the shed now or are they still in the lounge and kitchen?

Ha! Why would I want to keep them in the shed? No, I have 5 indoors here but most are still (very tightly) locked away with my Mini Cooper S in NSW - but not for much longer as they are being shipped north within the month. I can't wait as I've missed them. Congrats on the new purchase search engine! Too many is barely enough!!!

My Brothers Ducati SS was tipped off it's paddock stand by my 3y.o. nephew on the weekend, sadly he wasn't trapped or hurt or anything! He has a pocket bike which he won't let me sit on in case I hurt it!!! Chip off the block I reckon.

Currently doing plenty of Km every day heading out to the Uni at Esk with their dairy cattle. All this rain is making going a bit tough but that's ok, I'm back doing what I love.

See Ya!

Hey Slarti,
I bought my husband a Ducati for our first wedding anniversary (actually, I agreed to sign the papers for the loan for us to buy it). It was great back then, with the Conti mufflers etc., but he has always kept the 1942 10/12 (10 hp x 1200cc) Harley. Apparently, I go before it goes!

"SLARTI!!! I hope you were referring to the Ducati, NOT the Nephew!"

You know me Sassi, of course I was referring to him but don't worry, he's built like a very solid wombat.

In the labs today - been staring at bovine digestive bacteria for what seems like hours now. What time does the pub open? If anyone is keen, I'll meet you at the Pigs Trotter in say, 15 minutes?! I'll get the first round.

Can't believe I missed that shout!
Ah well - hope those bacteria have done something interesting.
On the important topic of motorcycles - we have sold the yellow Suzuki and are back down to 1 road bike and two off roaders. Husband bought a Corbin seat for the roadbike on eBay and managed to sell the old one for almost as much. Very nice! Heading out for a road trip this weekend.

Cheers,
Patti

Hi Richard,

Hows things progressing,

Just one thing, a bit of infor actually. I made Deputy Captain in our Rural Fire Brigade. Earned the Stripe this week.

But apart from that just having to juggle Uni this semester was hectic. Two subjects that were the heaviest for assignments. (26 this semester in fact), Work is easier now as my time is better managed. Although I had my own work commitments here, I was still leaving for other schools helping in OH&S Audits andf Chem Safety.

Phew..... I am glad I have the reast of the year off from Uni.............. Exam results to come..

Cheers, Mate..

Robb.....

Congratulations on becoming Captain. My son also made Captain down near Campbelltown way. Gosh you are a busy person, Rural Fire Brigade, Uni, work, chemtalk. May I know your source of engery? I would love some more engery?????????????????

Hi Richard,

Since our Birthdays are within one day of each other I would just like to say Happy Birthday, and all the very best.

Great to catch up mate and hope you get the uni results you deserve!

Hi Richard,

I will get some new Photos and post them. Just let me get organised.. I have to post the Hubble images yet so bear with me. I head off to Sydney Wednesday to meet with NASA scientists with the Consulate General of the USA. So this tops for a great Birthday Present.

I will try and get the stripe in the photo for you. Hey there brand new....

Sounds like your having fun at work, do you know your job title yet. I don't want to guess...not after reading your last post.

Cheers Mate,
