    Sounds like the apocalypse, is there a close encounters style mothership hovering somewhere amongst the clouds in the lower atmosphere

    wow, just read the news, the whole state is blacked out, that's seriously bad.

    Hope you all get through it without any damage

    We have light's back now.
    Just finished cooking tinned spaghetti and toast on the bbq

    The worst of the storm is yet to come,
    Expecting 60mm to 100mm of rain from 10pm onwards and cyclone type winds up to 120km/h

    I reckon there could be a baby boom in 9 months time, lol

    I would never have thought auto electrics to be bothered by electrical active of a storm!
    We had a cyclone last year, category 3 by the time it got to us, hit land as a 5. The picture I saw of the low headed your way looked more intense. Hope everyone stays safe. Saying a prayer for you.

    So I changed the oil on the CBR600RR. The darn oil filter was done up so tight I had to unbolt the radiator overflow to get a better grip! Luckily, it came loose. Decided to replace the third eye which has never worked so it looks like I'm stuck on the MC22 for a while. Also, I have news about the NSR which I have added to my woefully neglected thread in the Honda 2 Strokes forum... Anyone recognize the body work on the NSR?

    He certainly did! I was there watching him - wasn't really in doubt after Callum binned it at PI and again in the R3 cup vs Zack

    Was great racing this weekend all round
