[Edit] It appears that the current crew of the ISS are six men … So I am doubly guessing that this a hoax.

Well, it has taken all of four and a half months, but finally my new bike is on the road! I picked it up from the mechanics last week (where it was getting a service, new tires, heated hand grips, and a gear rack fitted). It is a Triumph Daytona 955i – 2002 model. In short this means that it is … uncommon on the roads in Australia, very sexy, and very fast! It also stops really well and handles like a dream. Last but not least it has a very comfortable pillion seat!
The very long delay was caused by a problem acquiring some new fairing panels from a Triumph parts supplier in the UK. International shipping is not a foolproof process. However, the panels arrived and were fitted (to replace old panels that were damaged by the previous owner).
I found my bike languishing in an insurance assessor’s shed, only lightly damaged and with 30,000 kms on the clock. Even with repairs it was a bargain for such a good bike.
I took the bike out today with my partner S playing photographer and we did a photo shoot down by the river. Results below …
So, like to go for a ride on your date? Fish and chips on the beach, or a spin up the Old Pacific Highway to the Mt White Cafe? Just drop me an email.

I have recently been contacted by two women to ask if I could make a trip to Brisbane soon. If I can find one more person interested in a booking, then it would be possible for me to make a trip to Brisbane in the near future.
So, if you are interested in a Brisbane date, please let me know!

I only made a short visit in to Sexpo on Saturday as the day was compressed by a delayed flight from Sydney and having a big evening planned, so I went back again on Sunday.
If you have never been to Sexpo, here’s a short run down …
Mostly Sexpo is a chance for anyone who does “stuff” in the “adult industry” to show off to the public over four days. On top of that, there is an ongoing stage show of adult oriented acts (like the Tokio Shock Boys, male and female strippers, audience participation and more) and curiously this time they had a motorcycle stunt show … not quite sure how that fits, but I guess that it appeals to the main audience demographic! Granted they did some pretty impressive stuff, but it’s not exactly about sex.
Some of the stands on display included:
I am sure to have missed out on some stuff, but that gives you a good overview. One thing that seemed quite abscent though were retailers of DVDs. I may have just overlooked them, but I don’t think so. I expect that the Internet is busy destroying the DVD delivery business model, so perhaps that is the reason.
Both Saturday and Sunday when I visited were absolutely packed. Heaps of people, in equal numbers for male and female. Average age was probably around thirty.
I will wrap this post up now. I have a bunch of toys and products to review and give away, so I will get on with that next and give you more details and photos!
John.
This is just a short update post, I am back in Sydney after my trip to Melbourne for the weekend. The trip was great, Sexpo was a lot of fun and I have heaps to write about this week as a result.
I also have lots of toys and things from Sexpo that I will be giving away, so come back soon, or subscribe to my RSS feed to find out how to score yourself something fun, including grooming, vibrators, lube, and ClubX gift vouchers!
I am available in Sydney tonight as I am staying overnight before heading home tomorrow, so drop me a line if you would like to experience some pleasure and I will throw in a a toy as a bonus :-)

When I wrote the title to this post it was just a throwaway line because I am feeling a bit sleepy. However I decided to Google the term out of curiosity, just to see if anything interesting came up. The first hit was the Wikipedia reference …
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_of_Nod
I have to say, I had no idea that The Land of Nod (according to religious tales) is actually on the east of Eden. Or a small hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire in the UK …
The things that you can learn on the Internet!
Well, I hope that everyone has been staying out of the rain and having a good week. I am off to Melbourne on Saturday, so if you are dropping in to Sexpo in the afternoon, then you might spot me there! If so, give me a wink, or say hello if your feeling brave!

On the recommendation of a friend (thanks M!) I bought a copy of the movie Shortbus by John Cameron Mitchell last week (on eBay). It arrived in the mail today, so I sat down with my partner after lunch to watch it.
Shortbus is rated 18+, it is a funny, entertaining movie about a couples councilor and her husband, a gay couple, a dominatrix, a voyeur, and the former major of New York! It also has more actual real sex (straight, gay, lesbian, masturbation, domination and more) than I have ever seen outside of something rated XXX.
It’s not a movie of sex with a storyline thrown in as an excuse for the sex. It’s a well written, directed, and produced movie that doesn’t just fade to black when people do what they actually do in real life. And that, for me, makes the sex even more interesting.
It left us both thinking about sex and sexuality, about how people relate to each other, and how they love and fuck. It is a great story and worth watching.
If you would like to borrow my copy of Shortbus, just drop me an email and I will see if I can send it to you. Otherwise you can get your own on eBay for $25 or so. It’s worth having in your (private) DVD library!

I had the pleasure this weekend of visiting The Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay for dinner.
Anzac Bridge at sunset ...
The ideal way to get to The Boathouse is by water taxi. You approach from under Anzac Bridge and the taxi drops you a short distance along the waterfront from the restaurant.
It’s a great location looking out over the water back to the city, especially on a warm evening like last night.
Looking passed The Boathouse toward the city
As you might expect The Boathouse specialises in seafood. They have a great menu and I have to say that the snapper pie is fabulous. No, I really mean it. It is absolutely fabulous. They also do very good chips!
Sadly I don’t appreciate oysters, but if you do, then The Boathouse will deliver. They have a special section on their menu just for the oysters (all natural of course) listing the oysters that they serve that come from a dozen or more locations or more. The Boathouse is oyster lovers heaven.
This was the view from the corner table at The Boathouse looks back over the bay to Anzac Bridge. It really is a spectacular place.
So, there you have it. If you are looking for somewhere special for lunch or dinner, then The Boathouse on Blackwattle Bay is a great choice.

This is just a quick note to mention that I will be at Sexpo in Melbourne on Saturday the 26th. I haven’t been to Sexpo in many years so it will be fun to see what is new in the world of commercial sexuality.

I am currently enduring hotel checking limbo. Meaning that the earliest that I can check in is 1,00pm, and it’s now only just after 10.30am I had to drop my bike off early this morning to get it serviced. So here I am whiling away the time in the hotel bar.
Thankfully I have my laptop and phone, so I am pretty much self-sufficient and able to do “real work” if I choose.
On the off chance that you are in the Rose Hill area and feel like meeting me for a coffee, then send me a text, or give me a call. I would enjoy some company :-)
