Lunch anyone?

Been on night duty every night since last Sunday (including last night), but somehow managed to fit in a good day's ride yesterday
. Covered close to 600kms with another Storm (unfortunately ridden by a fella who spent most of the day bragging about his "exceptional" riding ability
) and a young lad who knows how to ride his rather zippy little ZX6R. A zillion twists & turns, stacks of boys in blue (few bike deaths recently have sent them all berko
), but no tickets
(mainly thanks to Mr ZX6R who seemed to know when & where to stick to the speed limit)!
Did the touristy thing up on the Sunshine Coast & had lunch at the Ettamogah Pub, which has actually been built to replicate an old, completely out of proportion pub from a classic Aussie comic strip. Don't know if any of you guys would've heard of it, but none of the walls are actually upright. Don't think there'd be one right-angle in the place. Great tucker & great atmosphere. Can sit on the balcony about 3 storeys up, overlooking the highway (how scenic) & the car-park, which is frequented by all sorts of unsavoury biker-types.

(Oh, and on the way home, the ZX6R left the "exceptional" rider for dead on some tight twisties around a dam & then I left the pair of them to stew around the big sweepers
Outridden by a 6 & then a girl! Bwaaaahahahahaha
)
It's 7:45am now... Definitely past my bed time. Nighty-night!
