I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I've organised a test ride at Linex Yamaha on a second hand black Yamaha Fazer. It's almost like the bike that I have now, except more of a sport touring type instead of a race replica. It should be WAY more comfortable for Michelle on the back. And seen as it's the same engine as my R1, it should have enough performance to keep me happy as well!

Well, I am on course today, and the lecturer is a native african. It's quite difficult to understand what he's trying to say occasionally as when he tries to "data mine the contents of a field", he actually means "determine the contents of a field". Anyone who is a South African will know more about this!!! ;o)

Michelle is working at The Wedding Expo at Sandton City today and this weekend. She is helping out Margaret Tilling who employed Michelle as a wedding consultant to work with her. Margaret will do the photograhy side of things, and Michelle will take care of the rest. Awesome if you ask me!!! And it's exactly what Michelle studied for a few years ago! God is amazing!

Well, I'm very chuffed with the new car. It's awesome to drive and SO quiet! And the leather smell from the seats is fantastic! I hope that smell stays in the car for a long long time! The only thing that hacks me off is that the car was delivered with a tow bar, but they didn't put those rubberised/plastic protective covers on it. And as far as I am concerned, that should be standard when you have a tow bar fitted. No train smash as they brought me some today and I put them on. BUT... and it's a big annoyance for me... the person who drove my car to me must have smoked in the car. I checked the cigarette lighter and it had been used. 22 kilometres on the clock and someone already smoked in MY car!!!! I phoned Barloworld and chewed them out from a dizzy height. It's common courtesy not to smoke in a BRAND NEW car that you are delivering to someone who may or may not smoke. You can't smell smoke in the car, but it's the principle of the matter. Humph!

My car arrived today. It's the same as in the picture, except mine is a deep metallic blue. I'm WAYYY chuffed! ;o)

The trip to Sabie was incredible. We took our time getting there and has a nice leisurely ride through Barbeton, Nelspruit, White River and then onto Hazyview and then finally Sabie. The road between Hazyview and Sabie is reknowned to be a great biking road!!! Corner after corner of twisty mountain passes... Awesome stuff. I took it fairly easy, but Michelle on the back still got scared. I really have to remember that she's not so used to biking as I am.

We spent the weekend exploring the area and eating pancakes! What more can I guy ask for! We stayed at Jock's in the centre of town and it was really nice.

We did go find a waterfall nearby and ended up riding on a dirt road for a while... with my superbike!! Ouch! So I was not too impressed. My bike is definitely designed STRICTLY for tar. Heh heh

The trip to Sabie was great.. more about that later...

I watched Black Hawk Down on the weekend, and it was a great movie! A little gory, but I guess that made it all the more true to real life. I found this interesting article on the net too. At first I thought it was an April Fool's day joke, but I guess it wasn't!
