Nick will be running to Macksville and then out the back to meet us for the run into Wauchope staying at Micks ni doubt a shed party as we watch Nick fit his dirt tyres .

Well…………. Wasn’t that an “interesting night”.

It all started when I was sitting at my desk at work and the distinct rumble of bikes came up the street and next I know TB is at the front door on his bike, signalling that he wanted my keys to the shed. I gave him the keys and the local women held their children close as the boys roared off up the street towards my place.
I arrived home a half hour later to find 3 bikes on my lawn and my Nissan Patrol gone.

Soon after, the Patrol roars down the driveway with the boys on board accompanied by a supply of beverages.
The shed party had begun.
First job was to stand back and watch Nickj change both tyres on his Tenere. As you could imagine he was offered plenty of advise but no help. Once that was sorted some electrical work was required on Nick’s bike as well. Meanwhile Moose had arrived and not long after Strucky stuck his head in to say gday and the shed party was in full swing.

My dear wife organised some Pizzas ( and some more rum’s for TB ), we smashed them in no time and had a great night of piss taking and bench racing. I was glad Chicken was there, as that gave TB someone else to fight with and I got a reprieve for the night. :laugh:

A few dusty heads greeted me when I staggered towards the Kettle this morning.I enquired whether they wanted bacon and eggs for breakfast and got a definative ‘NO”, but did I have any panadols was the next question. :unsure:
The boys kitted up after a hearty breakfast of paracetamol and headed out my driveway at about 7.45 bound for Tamworth. I dare say it will be a bit chilly heading over the “Hill” this morning.
Hey Bollocks, They are your problem now. :laugh:

Actually I will have to admit, that yesterday I was a little “put out” even a bit perturbed, when the “suck up bastards”, arrived at my place bearing gifts for my wife, but nothing for me. Anyhow I have to take all that back after finding my “gift” in the shed after they left. ( that doesn’t mean all the empty bottles and ciggie butts either) I found a nice padded bag with my “gift” in it. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it, I have wanted some for ages but they are only a luxury to a bloke like me. :woohoo:

BTW could you find the instructions on how to fit them for me??
