    Hi all,

    Have been lurking here for a while, and thought I’d better introduce myself.

    About me? If you don;t already know from other forums, I hail from Canowindra, a small farming town in country NSW, and so generally spend my time with; a) myself, b ) dogs, c) sheep, d) rabbits, e) foxes or f) locusts. I currently ride a moderately farkled Honda Varadero, but previous rides include XTZ660 Tenere, YZF600 and XLV750. At the moment. I’m looking for a second bike, smaller than the Varadero that I can use for yet-to-be-planned Cape York and/or Canning/Simpson trip (along the lines of DR650 or KTM 640Adv for example).

    Other than that, I like walks by the beach, candlelit dinners, open fires and poking dead things with a stick…

    See you on the track!

    Cheers
    Holmesie

    Nice intro mate and welcome to the site.
    Your beach walks must be massive :laugh: about 325k each way.
    There is a growing ADV following on the site so I am sure you will find some good rides and have a good laugh along the way.

    Cheers

    G’day Holmesie,

    Last time I was down your way I was in a balloon following a giant inflated kookaburra around. Wasn’t a bad way to spend a morning but wasn’t a big fan of the champers afterwoods. That was the best part of a decade ago now. Do they still have the balloon festival in April.

    Welcome Holmesie

    Nice place Canowindra, had a girlfriend from there once nice girl :laugh: worked there and been to a couple of bush poets Nights there. I lived in and near Orange for a few years and love itball around there. Had a few at the Cargo pub over time, great place for a roadie or your swag out in the park if you can’t drive :P

    Nickj, Moose, Kram ( the happy hippie) and myself will be coming through there on Tuesday the 5th of April on our after High Country Tour this year and will no doubt have a drink at the pub. Actually knowing that crew we will probably end up camping there :laugh: :laugh:

    Will shout out when it gets closer and get hold Not For Highway Use

    Like you intro BTW

    Welcome Holmesie,

    That’s the first introduction I’ve read in a year that sounded like a farmer looking for a ‘riding buddy’…. :cheer: if you know what I mean. Funny. But hate to disappoint you the boy’s on OBT are not into walking on the beach (too much effort) :S , candlelit dinners (can’t see their beer’s) :ohmy: but can do open fires with booze B) and poking dead things providing they rode over them :woohoo: .

    Welcome to the mad house and hope to ride with you one day….

    Haha definitely not after that sort of a “riding partner” Katgirl :silly:

    Bundyroy, the ballons still fly the skies around here occasionally, and Canowindra is hosting the National Championships in April which should be a pretty exciting & busy time
