Brooks Challenge Tool Bag


Brooks goodies always come very well packaged.


This tool bag is originally designed to be hooked up onto the rear of your bicycle saddle.


I’ll get to grinding down those ugly indicator tabs once I buy myself a grinder!

Din Tai Fung


“How to get the skin so thin?!”. Hands down, best Xiao Long Bao in Sydney.


William and Yan.


Zi, Charlie and myself.


Steven.


Had a glass of soy drink. Reminded me a lot of my childhood where dad always ordered me a glass when eating out at Chinese restaurants.


Colin, Mei and Nicole (didn’t trust myself with bringing the GF1 so I took the IXUS instead, crap crap crap!).

The boys have been trying to organise a dinner with Yan (ex work mate at Buddy Club) for a few weeks and it somehow came together last night (amazing!). The plan was originally to hit Wagaya, but they were booked out so we went to Din Tai Fung instead.

Casual Riding Group Sydney


Zoomer in the city.


I counted 5 L platers.


Steve’s ugly looking Supermoto.


Zi’s SR is looking great.


Nelsons 125cc race bike.

Zi invited me out for a ride with the boys last night. “The boys” has gone from a handful of us to a facebook group 48 members strong. The idea was to meet up in Chinatown then make our way to Palm Beach (that’s a long way away for the little Zoomer!).

I checked out the facebook group and quickly realised that most, if not all of these guys own race bikes. That and the distance put me off the idea of the cruise to Palm Beach, but it was a nice night out so I at least went for a blat through the city to meet them at Chinatown before they headed off.

The Zoomer got a LOT of positive attention last night. People on the side of the road were giving me the thumbs up and once I parked it everyone seemed to flock towards it and some even helped themselves to hopping on it (probably not something you want strangers to do when parking your bike?!).

Lots of Q&A, laughs and ultimately despite not being powerful enough to go for longer rides I’m just happy to be owning and riding something a little different. :)

VWGolf.net.au carpark meet

Great VWGolf.net.au meet last night at Broadway. People often wonder, what the hell do we do once we all get to the carpark? For me it’s a chance to catch up with some old faces, talk shit (not just cars), meet new faces, check out other cars (and to an extent show off your own). Many more photos here

Maxy Day 5


Sun is coming up, it’s Brekkie Time!


Confrontation!


Mia, less scared, more curious, but still shitty.


Maxy hamming it up for the camera.


What a pretty boy!


After lunch on top of the cat tree (he’s a good jumper!).


Nap time.

Little Maxy has settled in really well. He’s a crazy little kitten. A lot braver and more adventurous than Mia was, much better co-ordination too (Mia liked to play with things on the ground as a kitten but would lose sight of things that were off the ground in the air). He’s also very vocal when he can’t see you and he’s a great jumper (he’s jumped up onto the toilet cover into the sink and almost managed to jump up onto a bar stool too).

Mia’s starting to get over being scared of him… she’s more curious than anything else and tends to follow him around but as soon as Maxy walks towards her she’ll grumble and most of the time she retreats. They’ve played chase more than a few times. Hilarious when Maxy chases after Mia! She’s had a few swipes at him but Maxy’s just manned up and tried to swipe right back at her.

This morning they kinda ate brekkie next to each other, all was good until Maxy tried to eat out of Mia’s bowl. After lunch they almost slept together as Mia let her guard down a little (she’s not used to staying awake all day!).

So far so good. We’re still keeping Max in his kitten room at nights, for now but we’re pretty sure they’ll both get along in a week or so. :)
