Somewhere in the noise is a song. Somewhere in the cacophony is a melody—a sweet sound. The ensemble is our attempt to discover the rhythms, the groanings and the eureka moments of life amongst the noise.

I am looking into the future and I see.......

Men, on motorcycles....

Finding excuses to leave wives and babies together at home discussing curtains or something, they will pursue adventure on the open road astride mighty and noisy steeds, wind in hair, exploring areas distal to Perth that may play host to commendable coffee and cuisine. These men are very good looking, friends, lovers of the Lord, united in a silent understanding of the bond between man and machine, rubber and road, taste buds and coffee. They venture far and wide, New Norcia, Busselton, Beverley, any where a winding road may take them inside the hours allotted to them by their wives and family.

As the sun sets, may they return, the release of horse power having instilled a refreshed sense of joy and fellowship. The pizza sizzles on the hot stone, the bottle of wine is de-corked, the adventure stories will be shared, wives may roll eyes and sigh, but men smile big happy smiles because they have freedom, they have liberty, they have motorcycles, and they have licenses!!!

A challenge to the willing: Assemble a gang, a posse, a collection of like-minded colleagues, rebels without a clue, and together we will ride for common good if and when we can all afford it. My Cacophony brothers: I have perceived the desires of your heart for the desires of mine are the same, and where motorcycles are concerned it is a blessed thing. Grace and disturbance of the peace to you all.

Three cheers to rsponsible riding. Five or six to pizza, red wine and coffee!

I'm just a little concerned that my wee Vespa (which I don't own at the moment) may seem a little intimidating to these testosterone-challenged folk. Mind you, the one I've been spying has a top speed of 122km/hour and anything more will only get you a fine.

The criteria for these men seems a little daunting too. If we're setting the 'good looking' bar by you, none of us will make the cut.

I may have to start a 'small engine ugly grunters club' just to ensure that we all get a chance not to discuss curtains...

it was you and Brad i was seeing in my crystal ball when i was talking about good looking.

it aint about testosterone - if it was we'd get V8's or something - nah, its deeper than that - its the journey together - think muppets on bicycles in the park but on a much more emotional and spiritual level.

you can still go italian - doesn't have to be vespa. while my preference has always been for triumph, i'm mighty taken by the ducati monster dark, a very fine looking naked that makes a lot of noise.

sign me up! I'll try and not fall off. Last time it hurt a bit.

I nominate Josh Dunjey as a valuable addition to the posse. He'll definitely need to upgrade from 50cc though... Get your license son.

no minimum with your R-E license. and i can pretty much write out all the answers to the theory test if you like? i did it in 92 seconds.

i think simon is referring to my trepidation over the eye chart. that is the sucker you gotta fear...

hey, i did it in spanish, so it really can't be that hard in english!!

Simon Elliott said...

well the eye chart is easy enough to memorise...

Garrick, look what you've started!!! Simon already almost died once on a motorbike. Please don't lead him astray with your wylie ways? I promise to never talk about curtains.

yay just got my RE L's and yeah quite easy, not quite 92 secs but must of been very close, eye test was actually a toughy my right eye cant distinguish H's and N's but the examiner gave me a sly look and i changed my answer, sorry i'm relly excited so could just keep blogging about pretty much anything...if anyone has a motorbike license and wants to take me out on a date anytime that'd be swell, peace out playas

Simon Elliott said...

Line up a bike (for both of us) and I'm there...there being the nearest tidy car park.
