20:48:00 <linying> Welcome... stranger! :))
20:48:00 <Sinn> evenin
20:48:00 <linying> ltns! How are you..>?
20:49:00 <Sinn> indeed! i'm not bad thanks. u?
20:49:00 <linying> Still around and still here! :)
20:49:00 * linying is now known as Glenn
20:49:00 <Glenn> ---> [20:49] -NickOP- Sinn is not a registered nickname
20:50:00 <Sinn> yeh nah, first time back in ages. didn't bother to register
20:51:00 <Sinn> lol I know, thanks anyways.
20:51:00 <Sinn> so wat u been up to my friend?
20:53:00 <Glenn> Not a lot... been quiet at the Uni and will probably leave at the end of the year.
20:54:00 <Glenn> How's life in NZ these days... married, kids, mortgage yet?
20:54:00 <Sinn> lol not quite that far mate. only just finished uni last year.
20:55:00 <Glenn> Graduate OK?
20:55:00 <Sinn> yep. working now
20:56:00 <Glenn> I also finished an on-line degree last year in the US. Dunno what I'm going to do with it but it looks good on the wall! :P
20:56:00 <Sinn> haha
20:56:00 <Sinn> I haven't even framed my degrees
21:00:00 <Sinn> so wat else u do?
21:02:00 <Glenn> Not a lot. Been restoring a couple of motorcycles. When I registered the first one about 4 months ago, people would laugh. Petrol here has gone up about 50 cents a litre in that time... people are no longer laughing!
21:02:00 <Sinn> yeh it's pretty bad here too. ours is about 60c rise now I think
21:03:00 <Glenn> The little motorcycle gets about 100 miles / gallon... about 35 kilometres per litre.
21:03:00 * cas has left IRC
21:04:00 <Sinn> yeh it's crazy aye
21:04:00 <Glenn> Not good... :(
21:04:00 <Sinn> wat is the pic?
21:05:00 <Sinn> oh well, doesn't work anyway. dont think I have the ports open for that
21:05:00 <Glenn> City people are not so bad off as they have taxpayer subsidised public transport available... which they refuse to use. We have nothing out here in the countryside and really need our cars.
21:06:00 <Glenn> Was a picture of my Honda... :P
21:06:00 <Sinn> ah honda...? I drive a civic
21:06:00 <Glenn> ...this ain't exactly a Civic!
21:07:00 <Glenn> There's one on ebay almost identical to mine... I'll get the addy...
21:07:00 <Sinn> wat is it then?
21:08:00 <Glenn> Hang on... :D
21:09:00 <Sinn> ok
21:10:00 <Glenn> Try... http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4573141831&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1
21:10:00 <Glenn> The item number is 4573141831
21:11:00 <Sinn> lol that's not safe bro
21:11:00 <Glenn> Mine appears to be in far better condition than the one on eBay, but I was curious to see how much it would sell for.
21:12:00 <Glenn> ...nah... is OK. Only travels at about 45 kilometres an hour, and in Australia, it is legal to park on the footpath!
21:12:00 <Sinn> lol
21:13:00 <Glenn> I now only use the car to travel to and from the Uni (50 kilometes / day) then use the Honda for all errands and shopping around the town. Uses about AUD$2.00 of petrol each week.
21:14:00 * MsElle is on IRC ((Janette))
21:14:00 <Sinn> true.
21:14:00 <Sinn> you might as well just ride a bike man
21:15:00 <Glenn> If I could get another 20 of these things, I would be able to sell 30 easily! The local Honda motorcycle dealer told me he has been getting many enquires about these machines.... but they've not bee manufacted for at least 25 years! I restored anoter identical except for colour for a friend abd he also has been "terrorising" the town with it! :))
21:16:00 <Glenn> ...nah... this goes 45kph up hills and down hills... a bicycle does not! :P
21:16:00 <Glenn> I think it is governed somewhere... the other one is the same.
21:16:00 <Sinn> haha
21:18:00 <Glenn> The one on eBay... will be interesting to see how much it sells for. It is very rare to find these machinese comp[lete and actually registered. Most were never registered when new, and have ended up as "paddock bikes" for the kids long ago.
21:20:00 <Sinn> ah well.
21:26:00 <Sinn> I dont know anything about bikes really
21:27:00 <Glenn> :)
21:27:00 <Sinn> ur still in melb?
21:28:00 <Glenn> A lot cheaper to run than a car... easier to find parking spots for... but are a real ^%#@ in wet and clod weather! :P
21:28:00 <Glenn> Gotta go... take care and great to see you around again! :))
21:28:00 * ChanOP sets mode: +o Sinn
21:28:00 <Sinn> u too glenn!. laters
21:29:00 <Glenn> If you're bored, try chatting with the bot... he understands!
