Hi Ken. Good to hear from you again. Sorry, though to hear of your health issues, but as Xtain has said, you're on the mend now so you've got lots to look forward to.

With regards to your XS, the best thing to clear that roughness is to give it a bit of a squirt down the Hampton-Esk road on Sunday morning. It'll do the both of you the world of good.

It'll be great to finally meet you as well.

Hi Ken
That cronhs is a really bugga, a lady in the block were I live has it. Selling the bike will feed you for a couple of weeks but then what?
Better if you can is store till you are back on top and keep it in mind that you will be.
cheers

Hi,

It's been awhile since I last posted, mainly due to work and ill health.
I was working as a sparky at St Vincents hospital and for 4 months, the only engineering staff member on AH call.
So the Christmas period 2 years ago was real horrible.

Then I got crook with cronhs and ended up at the Base Hospital for 6 weeks in August.
Had 3 operations in 8 days and lost over 1/4 of my body weight
So last year was a horrible one for riding.

Haven't had any income as of June so either my 06 FJR or the XS may have to be sold  :(

A few weeks ago the XS started up on the second attempt with some fresh fuel added  :D
She's running a tiny bit rough after a year sitting around.

And I've finally managed to ride to Brisbane and back in a day,( last weekend), so I'm happy as !
So with any luck will be meeting up with who ever shows up at Haigslea this weekend.

Cheers
Ken
