Worked 1/2 days [8 hours] and had 2 days off in the middle when I hired an HD FXLR "Low Rider" from Frasier's in Homebush... then rode out of the city a day, found a little town, got shitfaced with the locals then rode back to the city. The funniest part was when nobody batted an eye when I rode that sucker into the lobby of the Sebel [possibly the most unfortunate cultural loss to one of my favorite cities on the planet].

As for getting guns in Sydney... not a problem... like anything else a man like me could ever want they're available in "the cross" for a price.

We hang, we jam, we play with gear, we drink, we have lots of fun... then we go home... often it's more fun to be at work!!

I realize this has nothing to do with the price of a Horch in the EU... but it helps us to rationalize why we don't do "August off".
