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
January 25, 2011 at 3:47 am #195171Nice 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
STMJanuary 25, 2011 at 4:23 am #195172G’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.
January 25, 2011 at 4:36 am #195173Gday Holmesie
Good to see another country lad on here :cheer:
by the looks of that intro you will fit right in here mate
Cya on the tracks.
Bol :woohoo:
January 25, 2011 at 5:47 am #195174Welcome 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
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
and poking dead things providing they rode over them :woohoo: .
Welcome to the mad house and hope to ride with you one day….

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
