BMW Randy Mamola R1100
I must admit I like the 2002 BMW R1100 Randy Mamola Replica bike more than I like the 2002 Moto Guzzi Le Mans Le Bon Homme V1100.
Maybe it's just the blue and white colour of the BMW. They were the colours of my first bike, a Suzuki GTXF400F...a lovely machine indeed.
I mean, both the Guzzi and the BMW are bikes for wankers in many ways, and I don't mind being one...
an open road and the BM horizontal twin would be good. It won't sound as good, but it still is ok.
I would be more impassioned with the Guzzi if it really sounded good. I had a Guzzi Stone 1100 and I had the mufflers gutted by a member of the Finks, a great technician, and, you know, it still sounded pretty much like nothing...and the BM is better than nothing.
This would make a good advertising slogan for BMW motorbikes...'well, they're better than nothing.'

Day Off, the first of 3
Day off, the first of 3; the various jangles of the working week jangle their way out of memory, off & into the unrecorded past. Fully gone.
Phones have been ringing from the Church but I can't always answer phones about religion. It is too personal a topic to be shared with priests.
I had a letter published in the Cairns Post again today, so that was nice. I like to see my thoughts printed out.
I stopped in on the way driving home from dropping Lisa at work at the fishing shop and bought a few jigs, a handline and some lead sinkers.
Goodness me, there must be a lot of lead sinkers in the sea.
I was going to buy an Alvey Rod and Reel for Lisa for $70 but I didn't , but I probably will. That's a good price for the best fish-catching machine known on Earth.
2 Days more off work away from the various machinations of private psychiatry...having left behind the profound burden of palliative care now. What to do?
Read a John Steinbeck novel, again, and go fishing...pick up Lisa's Alvey Rod and Reel on the way.
A few green prawns, look for a high tide and a quiet sea and just catch fish for awhile.
Life at 61. Not bad. Not bad at all.

CliC Spectacles: http://www.clicproducts.com.au/ Well worth the money
Good Product. Helpful Friendly People. Fast Service.
I've tried the CliC facsimile glasses available throughout SE Asia for about $5 but they don't last. The straight magnifying lenses are okay, but the magnetic clasp is weak and the whole body of the frame easily breaks.
These genuine ones are about $99AU...made in China, and very good quality.
