I guess that would be classed as bad news then John...

Red flagged race + knowing the winner...

rustynutz · **Reply #4801: June 27, 2016, 03:57:55**

The race was run in 2 parts....The first was red flagged and ended up counting for nought other than deciding the grid positions for part 2.
Part 2 was a standalone race which ran from flag to flag, this is the one Jackass won!!!

***Spoiler alert for those yet to watch the race...

335 Euros doesn't sound too cheap for a windscreen... Bummer about the dents too!

+ I always love reading the banter over here

- A chilly 6 degrees here, which makes doing laundry a chore

+- We had a good 14mm of rain here last night, but we are only on 291mm for the year (yearly average is ~1100mm) so things are pretty dry

I had a very enjoyable coffee and pie at

Home - A Multi Award Winning Bakery & Patisserie | Pinjarra Bakery followed by a nice ride on my Honda CB400A along with friends on their Honday NC750 Integra, from Pinjarra north to North Dandalup, east to Dwellingup, then west back to Pinjarra.

It's a Honda that can only be ridden on a Saturday.

+ Waiting for our room to be allocated we reacquainted ourselves with Marina Square, a shopping and dining complex next to the Mandarin Oriental. We went relatively downscale at the food court and ordered fried dumplings from a non-English speaking Chinese kitchen, 10 for $6. After 6 months in Indonesia, that and the view of Marina Bay at our table made it very much a highlight. For those nearby, it's the last counter on the right as you go in, facing the bay, on the fairly new 4th floor.

- Elena only wants to do dumplings once a day.

Took Dad there once at Craig's recommendation. It was nice.

@The Gonz .. Glad you are treating Elena (I get the impression she is not enjoying Indonesia...)

If you want to ride a little further the Ferguson Falls Café (just before Bunbury) is also very nice, you can have a look at the quirky Nomesville near there.

The Balingup to Nannup tourist drive is beautiful to see if you haven't done it, exceptional ride on a bike
