i've got 3 BIG ONES!!! that i've learnt in the last 6 months.

1- Don't teach your girlfriend how to drive a manual (unless you want a blown head gasket, or an excuse to get rid of the girl)

2- Don't then leave the car for a week on the side of the road (unless you want your hub caps pinched!)

3- Simple one, don't drink drive. i got caught 50 meters away from my house. and now with the new laws, even first time offense, $330 fine, 6 months no license, $145 drink driving course, $70 alcohol assessment by a Dr, court appearance, interlock system fitted and tested every month $$!!!!, then 3 years at BAC .0

now days i look out my window, at my beloved 1000 with a stuffed engine, sitting on stockies, wondering whether the rain is going to stop, so i can ride my bike to the shops.
