Pfft. Gents.. I build bridges and sh*t for a living.

A house builder would be biting off more than he could chew if he got into a contract dispute with me.

But I have no interest in building. Found a nice house with steel bones on a massive block and it should be fairly easy to build a couple extensions onto.

Just watched a replay of the weekends world superbike races in Thailand.

Great to see our man Troy Bayliss (3 times WSBK champion) ride as a replacement for injured Davde Giugliano.

There is still hope for us "oldies" :hag:

Troy is 45 years old, qualified #7 on the grid for the 2 races on sunday. :buttrock:

came 9th in race 1 and 11 in race 2 !!!!

and that's against the BEST superbike riders in the world.

He announced "permanent " retirement from WSBK after the race weekend with this comment :bye:

"I've had a great time. I didn't expect to win, it was great to experience it all again but I've had my time so I'm happy to go home and enjoy my family, and leave it to the young guys."

Troy Bayliss = Aussie Legend

Agreed, the dude is a freak of nature! To be out of full time competition for 7 years and then jump straight back in competitively is unreal.

Pretty sure Ducati will have him on speed dial until he can't get a leg over the bike...

Low ball offer on house..

Counter offer actually 15 grand under what I was prepared to pay.

So.. That leaves me with nearly 22 grand between offer and counter offer in which I can try and squeeze down further..

Haven't bought again since I changed towns 4 years ago.

Ups and downs in relationship I've been putting off and putting off

Plus side. I only need a personal loan from the bank. Not a mortgage.

If I go the mortgage route I'm gonna sink bulk money into some major improvements.
