Woohoo!!! last day before holidays images/icons/smile.gif (until I have to come in every other day probably images/icons/frown.gif ).
So to all have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Take care on the roads and be safe. Enjoy the people you share the season with and remember those you can't.

If anyone wants to get me a set of Ohlins fronts, it would be appreciated images/icons/smile.gif

How can i forget to add the happy banana dudes..

Honestly tho, I was one of the ones that voted for avatars instead of sig pics, but got heavily out-voted. Sig pics take way too long to load and consume way too much screen space.

When they change to the new board software, you will be able to turn off sigs in your profile so they aren't displayed.

Anything's possible, I just prefer to browse the web without having to load helper "picture removing programs". And anyhow, it doesn't stop people making huge textual sigs, listing every conceivable mod on their bikes, right down to what oil they use. images/icons/rolleyes.gif

And watcha talking, Windows? who uses that? Unix all the way bay-bee images/icons/grin.gif I forgive you; at least you're on OSX, and not that System 6/System 7/OS8/OS9 POS images/icons/smile.gif

Actually I lie, I do have a laptop with XP on my desk, a necessary evil

Well I get free home internet, work has a dialup pool which allows us to dial up and work on our servers behind our firewall. Trouble is, its 33.6k graemlins/thumbdown.gif But hey's its free, and I never get kicked off.

I have to keep an eye on the servers, so its not much good getting another internet account or broadband, because the firewall will deny me access from any other ISP.

Yes it's double demerit points from Dec 20th through to Jan 3rd. So be aware !!

Don't know about trap on Old Pacific..

Do you ride ? If so what have you got ? A few of us recently had a track day at Eastern Creek.
We will be doing it again. Let us know if you're interested.

Merry xmas everyone

We need an xmas greamlin (and the cumshot one back as well, i miss him)

Double demerits sux. Its worse with the number of coppers out there as well (hhmm time to go rob a bank, you will proberly have time to get away as they pull the cops over on the way to the robbery and book them for speeding, who knows)

Symb, didn't you loose your licence??

Double points means more time to be on the net, anyone have any fav porn sites images/icons/rolleyes.gif
