I love it when cars cut the corner like that. I feel like it's been ages since I was out Kyogle way. For a main road, you can't complain too much about the Bruxner, but the side roads are a lot better! If it was me I'd have forgotten to do the shop at the end! 🤣

Yeah, I just meant the Bruxner from Casino to home - boring as Flying Fox Shit, haha! Hey, I think you haven;t seen Allen and my recent trip down the Old Grafton Rd - remember the slimy bits we encountered? Well it was like that for most of the road before Dalmorton!!!

Shopping for me used to be the same, Variety is the key.

Thought of you a couple of weeks ago....🤔 I was on the Isle of Wight on the bike...when I came across a 'water crossing' (well it was a Ford actually, but you get the idea 🙂) For a second I thought 'Shall I give it a go?' Then I came to my senses, the 'workaround' was only about 500 yds...🤣

😆 I think you should go back and give it a go - my damned videos have instilled an irrational fear of green slime in you and the only cure is to face you fears... (and have someone film it 🤣).

@@CaptainCrankyMotovlogger If I had been on my old DT175 I'd have been riding back and forwards like a schoolboy 🤣 But, I had a front wheel slide on a little waterfall 'overflow' across a normal tarmac road, which confirmed my suspicions about the Bridgstone tyres I had fitted. I was in Spain, on my own, and about 1K miles from home (not including the 24 hour ferry crossing 😅) It kind of 'focus's the mind. Besides, it looked deep, and green slime was evident.🙁

Well, as the song says “it’s a long way to the shop if you want a sausage roll …”

Good one Captain. That side road was initially looking like a challenge. Was your place affected by the any of the flooding that occurred in Northern NSW? Cheers, Sean.

Cheers Sean - yes we were heavily impacted by the floods - they were massive beyond comprehension... I still remember them like they couldn't possibly have happened! We live on a hill - the best decision I ever made was to refuse to buy anywhere that might flood when we moved here! We were cut off from everywhere physically for 5 days, no food or fuel for 6 weeks (moronic panic buyers saw to that within the first 24 hours). The flood created a massive lake, between 2 and 14M deep, 140Km long and 80Km wide, swallowing up towns, farms and everything. Most of the buildings in Lismore were destroyed and the poor sods that live, or have a business in them, had no choice but to rebuild as their properties are now worthless and un-insurable. It is still heartbreaking to see both what is still destroyed and what has been rebuilt - knowing it was become another 2000000 tonnes of floating waste next time it happens :( I did a couple of videos at the time and a follow-up one where I ride a favourite road that had been 10M underwater during the flood.

@@CaptainCrankyMotovlogger Bloody hell CC. You certainly made the right choice by buying on high ground. I'll check out more of your earlier videos to see that. 👍

The worst floods ever (in white fellas history) ,for us living here in Northern NSW Australia. We lost both our cars and about $50,000 AUD of other stuff. We have since then been able to finally move up higher out of the flood zone, but I still worry about all those living on the flood plains. 😕

@@seanb1081 Sad to hear that Sean. Goo that you were able to relocate to higher ground. live in a flood prone area in the Hawkesbury and often get flooded in.
