Please disregard the previous posting about how good Bike City/Bike

my own personal opinion) 'buyer beware'.

RACV were also happy to accept my GSX250 as in the less than 250 cc range of 
bikes. When it came to calculating the cost of insurance it worked out as
$140 for third party and only $134 for full comprehensive. 
Yes! Comprehensive cheaper than third party. 
When I asked why RACV told me that because I have had third party car 
insurance for more than five years without a claim I qualified for ratings 
one comprehensive on the bike. This is for a 24 year old rider still on a 
restricted license.

Is anyone off to the superbikes this weekend?
A few of my friends  from up here are going, so I should be able to post
some reports next week.  unfortunately I'm not going 8-( 

I will however get to taste the Island in November when I do a Stay
Upright Performance course.  Will anyone on the group be down there for
this or the Advanced course on  Saturday 14th?

INVITATION TO WEEKEND RUN

The Western Area Tourers (WAT) is an informal club of friendly
motorcyclists. Membership is currently about 20, but hangers on
and/or new members are welcome (no fees, no rules, no meetings :-)

We are planning a weekend trip in November (details below). Any
rider interested in joining in needs only to turn up (I hope you
can understand the cryptic clues. If not, email me or post here.)


Day 0. Friday, Nov 6.

Meet at the "Eats Roots and Leaves" pub on Friday night (6th Nov).

The "Come in 2830" crew (dare I say "Chapter"?) should find
this fairly easy if they can start off at a  reasonable time
on the Friday arvo. The "Warrumbunglers"  should contact the
"Come ins" for details of ETD, route etc. Those from
"Steak 'n' Kidney" direction (and anyone else who happens by)
are of course welcome to come via "Mount Pan City" where
refreshments will be provided before setting off. (at my place)
Sleep either on the verandah or in the backyard of the 
Eats Roots and Leaves" pub (well, it worked last time).

Day 1. Saturday, Nov 7

Breakfast 5 miles from the "Dog", then generally in a
south-easterly direction though the high country
eventually reaching the coast at "The Cheese Factory".
At various stages we'll stop for lunch, drinks, sightseeing, etc
and then stop for dinner and a kip somewhere or other.

Day 2. Sunday, Nov 8

A trip up the coast road to "Raw Prawn Seller Bay". Left turn
and on towards the "Feral Garment". The rest of the trip is up
to you depending on when you have to get home.

Remember...


November 6th, 7th, 8th
1992

1 XRATER. Dr Chris Corbel (Supervisor, Curriculum development,
     Adult Migrant Education Services, Victorian Ministry of
     Education)
 
Chris will discuss XRATER, a system to assist with rating the
literacy skills (reading, writing, speaking, and comprehension)
of potential immigrants, in order to assess their suitability as
migrants and to assist with definition of further education
needs.  XRATER is developed in KnowledgePro, runs on a PC, and
has been in use for over a year.  Chris plans to show a recently
created video which demonstrates XRATER in use.
 
 
2 ESAWA. John Baxter (Consultant, Artelligence Pty Ltd)
 
John will discuss the Expert System for Assessment of Wage
Arrears, a system developed by the Victorian Department of Labour
to assist with determination of an employee's wage entitlements
under an industrial award.  The pilot system focuses on the
Commercial Clerk's Award, and can assess wages, annual leave
entitlements, accident make-up pay and termination pay.  It was
developed in KBMS on a PC, and is now in trial use.
 
 
3 Currently implemented non-applications. Julie Gledhill
     (Gledhill & Associates)
 
It is always difficult to find people to talk publicly about AI
applications.  Is this because no-one is doing anything or
because of all the practical problems which surround AI projects? 
Julie's talk will look at problems involve in getting AI
applications off the ground, getting them used once they are
implemented and telling the world about them at some point in the
process.

I'm just as puzzled as Damian. I spent 7 years as a student/working in a
country where English was not an official language, but I don't remember
anyone there saying that I shouldn't speak English to my wife or any
of my English-speaking friends.

The idea that everyone who happens to be inside our borders should always
speak English sounds pretty bizarre to me.

How many tech support people does it take to change a light bulb?
A:  We have an exact copy of the light bulb here.  We have tested it

to reproduce.  Have you tried the light switch yet?
