Looks like the kids will have to leave their bikes in the yard from now on.

I've just come onto this Pete, but I must say that I more than impressed with the entire business of your birthday gift. Your family and mates couldn't have done anything to make this more special, meaningful or memorable.

Cheers mate. If you get up to Cairns, stop by and we'll have some coldies.

You'd think so eh? Actually there's HEAPS of room in the garage, but it's full of cardboard and styrofoam at the mo. :roll:

Even better, put the cardboard and styrofoam in the lounge room and the kids will have so much fun playing with that that they won't notice that the bikes are in hock and there is a shiny new bobbin sander sitting in their place.
