So I went back to melb to catch up with mates with what limited (I gave up on spelling presh-) time off I have.

On the way in on my little cb250 was nice. Open highway, everything was new and there were a lot of friendly other riders on the highway. Bum got sore quick and I noticed it scared the drivers a lot when I stood up on the footpegs.

I told Liz (my sis-in-law) that and she was worried, but it's legal and helps bloodflow so yeah...

anyway I got to melb and after 200k's my legs apparently got so tired they shook with muscle spasms. Took a break then and kept on. Glad I didn't have my moustache then because the only spot I had enough room to stop at was outside an all-girls highschool. Embarrased, but greatfull for the break I kept on.

I caught up with Tomz0r & his wife, daughter and cute-friend-of-wife. Had a great time :).

Next day I went up to see my other best mate in Gisbourne. Poor girl has been through a lot, and a large enough portion of that has been with me and we've supported each other a lot, so it was great to see she's doing well.

She's become much more introverted than I remember, but she's always been like that I guess. At least she's able to talk about the shit she goes through now. Has trouble making new friends as she struggles to trust others; which given her past I completely understand.

I headed home in the morning and arrived in the mid afternoon. (~5+ hours) and I'll say it's a bloody long-arse trip on a highway when it's 38 degrees c and everything looks the fucking same.

Still, I've been convinced to do more mm work which I'll have time for now that I'm back on casual work at the local factory. - pays really well and I get good hours there :)
