It's a phrase that's heard by parents all over the world on long
car trips......but yesterday it was something that Anthony was thinking
when he wasn't sure if we would have enough fuel to get home from
work.
When we left Grafton (and rode out of town past all the
petrol stations), Anthony initially thought we would have enough fuel,
but then a few kms out of town, the fuel guage started flashing,
indicating we were about to dip into the reserve tank.....and in theory
we could have had enough to get us all the way back, but it was getting
dark, was possibly going to rain.....and basically the idea of being
stuck on the side of the road and having to push me to a servo wasn't
making Anthony feel much joy.
So what did we do? First we turned off the counter for the
reserve tank (so we didn't have to see the Km's ticking away in front
of us), and then we kept riding, and were hoping we would make it to
the servo on the highway about 24 km from home....which we did, and
when we were done filling up, we ended up getting 9.69 litres (out of a
possible 11)
We most likely would have been right to go all
the way, but for the last 10 km it rained, and it was dark, and the
decision to stop was a good one.
Another good decision that
Anthony recently made was to get some new gloves. He has been
complaining over the last few weeks about his frozen and/or wet hands
due to gloves that were unable to keep the weather out for longer than
about 5-10 minutes.
So he purchased a pair of Dri-Rider Nordic
Pro gloves. And his hands are very happy, and warm, and dry......and
the left glove has one of those cool rubber wiper blades to wipe water
off your visor.

As Borat would say....."Very Nice!"
This
week's winner of Derbi's Celebrity Pillion Passenger of The Week was
born in San Diego, California. She started modeling at 15, after being
spotted by a model agency owner while buying coffee at a 7-Eleven.
Two years later she moved to New York, then LA and then moved all over
the world.
Her coffee habit led to another show business
connection when she was approached by an agent to see if she was
interested in acting. Since then, she has starred in "The Grudge 2"
and also "Disturbia" - a film that made $117 million worldwide and gave
her the break she needed. She is Sarah Roemer.
