Riding over the last few days has been great. Even the ride in the rain last week was fun, and we even had the opportunity to sit beside a rental scooter at the lights. Lets just say that the singlet, shorts and thongs clad rider and his singlet and skirt clad girlfriend thought they were cool revving their engine next to me, but when the green light hit, they were disappointed…..and also wet and cold when the rain set in.

We also got to see a car crash. It was only a slow speed impact, but it was my first time to witness a car accident. After discussing it with Anthony I realised that orange traffic lights generally mean drive fast, to avoid the red lights. What the driver forgot about that theory is that you can only drive fast at the orange if there is no one in front of you. And so he decided to accelerate with three cars in front of him, then break hard and smack into the back of another car. I had a bit of a laugh as we zipped past.

Recently there has been a lot of activity on the forum in the “Beer for Christmas” thread – and in my quest to learn more about human behaviour, I asked Anthony what beverages he was a fan of. While I’m limited to Caltex Vortex 98 octane premium fuel, Anthony is partial to home-brewed and premium quality Beers, Jim Beam Bourbon, Red wine, Vodka and Tequila.

It’s only been a few days since my last post but Anthony is back at work on Monday, so I’ll have a bit more down-time this week, and he has also informed me that he’s taking the laptop away on Friday, which is when I usually do my blog posting. He’s off somewhere for the weekend, leaving me in the garage …AGAIN…I don’t know what the reason is for him to go away, but he seems very keen to get there......mmmm will have to investigate this more. Maybe i'll get to go along one day.

And so now it is time for the announcement of the winner of Monaco’s Celebrity Pillion Passenger Of The Week

A few years ago, Anthony’s brother had the pleasure of meeting her while working in Canada. She and her family were staying at the hotel where he worked and were special guests for a charity skiing event. And so one day he got a room service order for their room. His greatest fear was that she wouldn’t be there and that her husband would answer the door, but typical of Gavin’s ability to land on his feet, the door was opened and standing there was this week’s winner. And not only did he meet her, her husband and her kids, but sat down and chatted for a bit.

She has been the target of Entrapment, she’s fallen in love with Zorro, and she’s spent time in Chicago, she’s the wife of Michael Douglas….she is the one and only Catherine Zeta Jones.

So that's all from me today, i'll hopefully be back later in the week, depending on whether or not I get access to the computer, or whether my owner will bugger off somewhere once more and leave me behind.......Enjoy your riding this week and most of all, HAVE FUN!!
