You guys have made some memories that will last a lifetime. 
Great photo’s and report I have enjoyed coming along for the ride!! Nick your bike in one of those pics looks like my DR after the 750k tow!! You must have been getting to close to the big fella mate! 
Look forward to having a chat and a beer with you blokes soon.All the damage to Nick’s bike happened on the tar surprisingly Boulder was very dusty unless we ran side by side he was never close enought to throw rocks at
Moose was the only one showing interest in playing anyway!1950kms Moto for me in the car each way! Plus the 4800 on the bike

You boys would need a rapid detox programme starting today I thinkGood to have ya back with the normal folk
Day 12
So it was a later start obviously after the previous evenings playing up (like a cheap second hand Chinese pit bike comes to mind) We had changed out of our even dresses earlier in the night, actually when the free drinks were cut off. They were painful to wear leaving me wondering how Boony does it all the time :whistle:
We had decided we would rest the big bikes today and hire ourselves some scooters, I was particularly looking forward to the experience as it would give me an understanding of what the two stroke riders here on the site experience.
Once our coffees and Red Bulls were sourced we waited for the scooter man to open up so we could go to breakfast on the other side of the island.
Once he turned up we hired scooters, Kram had another goldfish moment (happened all trip hence the new user name for him) the guy asks for his credit card for the security deposit, GF hands it over as he says there is no money in there! The guy looks at him and says “well that’s no good for security is it, maybe you shouldn’t tell me that” So the security deposit goes on Moose’s card :laugh:
We headed off to the other side of the island on our trusty steeds, mine was one of the big scooters and I had been warned it was slower on the flat. The upside was it handled better had better brakes and steered heap better this saw me last on all the straights but first wherever we went because of desperate braking moves and as GF said a healthy disrespect for traffic laws and round abouts :whistle:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=va0b4t538sU

We had some breakfast at a little café and went to check the island out

We then rode around checking the island out riding board walks, sand footpaths you know general behavior :laugh:
Two stroke drag racing, Nick gets the jump, Kram catches him, I want to take the scooters to the skate park and Moose catches up and passes me

GF went back for a nanny nap while we just hung out at the resort. I did some washing and uploaded photos and ride report. Nick read a book and Moose went to buy some trinkets for his daughter. He rang later and said he had a front flat on the scooter and could I find the scooter guy. I searched but he had gone AWOL so Moose was walking the scooter back when he came across a guy who told him the scooter gut lived two doors back from where he was. Moose found ol mate who filled the front tyre with Finnie leak (that was the last of Moose riding the scooter hard!)
All the bikes
Nick, Moose and I went for lunch on the bikes while GF had a nanny nap. We left the lunch and Nick parked on the sand where to Moose’s amusement I roosted Nick with my scooter which turned out to be too much for Nick’s scooter which broke there on after!
I had to double him back on the bigger two seater I had, he wasn’t too bad but did burr up when I took I flat out detour around a track off road without warning (I behaved myself after that )We returned to the resort after tracking down Scooter dude and telling him of the death of Nick’s scooter. We found the nanny napper and settled in for a few quiet ales
That night turned into one of the biggest nights of the trip, they had a trivia night on which we won, yeah go OBT. We had 3 Irish girls joined our team and we kicked arse. Kram was in awesome form as he spilled enough beer to raise the tidal level and convinced us Dodo birds could fly? Yeah we put his answer down
Anyway we were locked in a tie for first which saw Nick and Moose on stage, we weren’t :pinch: sure what was going to happen but the look on Moose’s face when it was announced they were playing Rock, Scissors, paper, strip was priceless. The idea was Moose and Nick verse the two young punks. They had to decide what they were going to go, either rock, scissors or paper and then play the round. Losers then had to remove an item of clothing. Our boys won the first round, other team removed their shirts, and our boys won the second round. Now it got interesting, it seems one member of the young punk’s team was free balling and wouldn’t remove his jeans. We won on default! OBT the trivia champions, we won a $50 bar tab, car hire and visit to a nature park. We gave the car hire and nature park to the Irish girls and drank the tab. It must be said we did alright considering we had been in the jagermisters and snake bites as well as beers and Bundy in between.
I bailed about 1am to set an alarm, check the ferry schedule and pack my bags. Moose came in about 2am saying he had back doored it and then proceeded to lie in his bed and giggle randomly every other minute. Nick fell in about 2.30 – 3.00am well and truly plastered and crashed the Goldfish was report unseen and missing.last day soon
