He told me I should have 35 psi all round. The correct pressures for mine, [1998 model,] are 45 front, [motor is under seat, so heavier at the...

Towards the end of a round of golf, Dave hit his ball into the woods and found it in a patch of pretty yellow buttercups. Trying to get his ball back in play, he ended up thrashing just about every buttercup in the patch. All of a sudden, POOF! In a flash and puff of smoke, a little old woman appeared. She said...

...But we are probably in the minority!!! Yesterday we took the tent and camped overnight at Windjana Gorge, (Lovely place!) which is off the GRR. The campground was very crowded, mostly with camper-trailers with families. A few tents too, but very few day-trippers like us from Derby. Conversa...
