Looks like I’m the first one home so I get to start the report thread! It’s great to ride exotic bikes!!!
I turned up at camp on Friday night, later than expected after becoming geographically challenged, to find that the night ride had been cancelled due to lack of interest. Poofs. I couldn’t see more than 5 metres in front of me on the road in! I could only imagine the carnage if the ride had occurred.
So I set up and had some beers and sat around the fire, then more beers…geez some of those Bulls can talk! :laugh:
In the morning, I geared up. Contrary to popular belief I did not sleep in my new flash gear…I was just keen.:blush: Once the disclaimers were all done we headed out into the scrub where we were set upon by a rogue group of riders with a different cornerman system and route in mind!!! After that was sorted the day went swimmingly (I have Eagle in mind here!)
Highlights of my day:
Being the first on the ground less than 5 kays in…then looking up to see Champo with a camera out! For the record front wheel in one rut, rear wheel in another, left leg in another rut and right leg in another…finding a rut to put my third leg into, priceless!
Seeing Chopper do the ‘sick blowfly’ after presumably power sliding his Suzuki around a corner.
watching Eagle dog paddle in the thickest brown water I ever saw.
I only rode the morning due to technical issues so that’s pretty much my story.
I returned to camp and set to demolishing my carton when the Pirates suggested they look at my technical issues. When that failed we pulled the covers off to find a different problem which was rectified and my hopes of exiting stage left in the morning were dashed!
Sat night saw more beers and bullsh1t than I have witnessed in ages. I managed to win a memory stick (or something) for my prowess and tenacity with computer games. Also a stubbie holder in the lucky draw…which I’ve since managed to misplace!:blink:
Tell you what though, the major prizes were something to behold!
Oh yeah! I haven’t mentioned the beef jerky yet…how much of that can you eat in one sitting!!!!
Sunday’s ride saw the appearance of some fresh riders and two Old Cows!!! My day was cut short due to the re-occurrence of the technical issues. I do hope though that the big puddle that I went through beside Chopper soaked him. Because I was saturated as a result:blush: . Having said that I did see him cuddle a tree with much exuberance. (Hope the wrist is not too bad).
I just thought of some other things that stood out…Motos chair/firewood. Moto’s tent. Moto’s jacket (that is a nice jacket) :laugh:
Big thanks to all who had a hand in organisation. I won’t mention names because I can’t remember them all and they know who they are.
To those that catered. Farkenhell! That was tops!
I think that’s it for me. I had an excellent adventure and look forward to another.
Now, I have to go out to the shed and throw some spanners at the Vor and see how much of a belting the credit card will get as a result:laugh:
good effort hope to catch you out there again sometime
