Lumpen Poison Fish. Poison Fish. TASTY FISH!!! Donating Members 5,181 Member For: 21y 7m 21d Gender: Male Location: The Bogan Shire Posted 04/10/04 11:45 AM Share Posted 04/10/04 11:45 AM Lumpen.. You have it.. Runs parallel to the Pacific Highway inland a bit and is a good climb uphill through the camphor laurels... Bending, bumpy and condensation in unexplanable places.... Cheers Blonk,What run do you take after the first bridge heading north?I take the right turn and head up past the 'Disabled Riding School' and the Quarry, is a good ride, just really need your wits about you, especially with those BFO dumptrucks on the road.

There is never anything pretty about this kind of stuff and accidents like this should make motorists, especially P-platers to think twice about what they are doing on our roads. Simmo, just wondering which newspaper that was in, there is a couple of people I want to show that to, so they can stop they're appauling driving manner. Thanks, Lev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Scootre Guests Posted 04/10/04 02:14 PM Share Posted 04/10/04 02:14 PM he may have wanted to kill himself. Aparently there are may "speed" related fatalities that were discovered to be suicide. Funny... I was only wondering the other night what it'd be like to top yourself at 230kph in the XR.Seriously though... any dumb f*ck that wants to top themselves should at least consider the poor bastards who's lives they f*ck up as a result: family and friends and, particularly, those who have to recover the body.
