Jean aka ChiliDog and Jane aka NeoLuddite started at Nth Turra' with BankTeller, but Jean had a 'serious attitude disorder', a crestfallen shadow of his former tenacity and brilliance. At Jean's behest, we agreed to re-group at PitS.
Alas, when we assembled outside PitS there were a lot of Mungo Wackos on motor bikes making lots of noise, and driving way too fast, so much so that BankTeller phoned Hornsby Police station at 9:43am.  He told the Constable that there was some Wacko dangerous motor bike driving around PitS.  And asked was Hornsby Police aware of that.  He told the constable that he had twice written to the NSW Police Minister and the NSW Police Commissioner about two death within three months, both on weekends, of motor bike riders over the 3.85km road section between Brooklyn Rd and PitS.  The Constable politely retorted that the Police have been conducting police patrols. BankTeller said that police patrols were ineffective and 'labour-intense-costly'.  BankTeller asked the Constable why the Police do not employ cost-effective technology and install discrete mobile radar cameras in the bush and post out the fines in the same manner that other States in Oz and offshore do, in order to discourage speeding in a cost-effective 'technology-manner' and save lives.  He iterated that there had been two motor bike fatalities over the 3.85km windy stretch between Brooklyn Rd and PitS in the last 12 months.  There will be more fatalities because of the hubris evident in mass hysteria of motor bikers with metal caps making sparks fly on the bends and their Compadres filming at those corners to post on YouTube.  Hopefully a road cyclist wont be amongst further fatalities on this Mad Cap 3.85km of madness. 
Jean and Jane opted not to 'run the gauntlet'.  I suggested to Jean that he ought to book an appointment with his analyst.  Jane retorted,, "Wouldn't it be better if Jean saw your analyst".  I told Jane that my analyst won't take on a 'hopeless case'.
