There's been a bit of rain about. I've also had to do a heavy shop (about 20Kg) in a backpack now that I've sold my car.

Been thinking about a few options: Ventura rack for my CB and sell my car; or sell my car and get a CT110. Really not sure.

Have been riding around with slightly higher revs than I normally do as a bit of an experiment. I'm curious as to the results.

From BP Logandale (my last fuel-up) to Canungra for a coffee. Then out to Binna Burra and back to Beechmont before heading to Natural Bridge for a Bacon and Egg Burger ($10.40 and worth it, IMO). Back on the bike to bypass Murwillumbah and head to Currimbun Valley and Tellebudgera, then onto the M1 at Burleigh and home. I fueled-up at the BP at Mt Cotton Rd. Awesome day, but some hard work.

It's been raining solid for ... weeks(?). Raining since Christmas Eve, anyway. That was the last time I've ridden before today. Filled up on my way out on a little adventure.

Very hot day on my ride in to work around midday. Took morning off to take the cat to the vet and to get a wheel stand for my bike - so that I can clean and oil the chain properly.

I washed Nikka this morning. Filled up on my way back from ComSims. On my ride out to Samford, I had a pack full of gear strapped to the back. Fortunately someone offered to take it home for me, so I could enjoy the ride a little more. Starting to look at taking a day off to ride to Maleny, or South West again.

Regular unleaded (rather than the E10) from Shell. Not expecting an economic result as I made the most of the sunny weekend and went for a blast around town. Also, I filled up after my 12000 service, on the way home, so it'll be interesting to see how my next entry goes.

Have been taking the longer route to and from work (with the odd exception). It's 80km/h most of the way, with very little traffic, rather than the shorter distance with traffic lights, roundabouts, and 60km/h zones. The view is also nicer. I'm expecting a better economy this fuel-up.

I'm really enjoying riding, lately. However, thoughts are turning toward my next bike. Not sure if I should go for a trail bike, or a dual-sports, or just a sports bike. (How about each of the above?)

Had pulled into a Shell servo, but was refused service because I wouldn't take my helmet off while refueling! So I rode across the street (after draining whatever was in the hose at the Shell) to the Caltex. Service was no problem. I removed my helmet before entering the shop - as I always do. And, for a Caltex Woolworths (at Rochedale) they even accepted credit card!? A very odd night.
