The Mekon floats by

[The MekonMember]

The Mekon has been around a while – 53 years and long time road rider, but only in the past three years has taken to dirt bike riding.
Currently ride a 05 KLX250 which has been upgraded to 300cc, dynojet + full Staintune system. Around 10kg stripped from the bike and I think she is a pretty good dirt machine, ie at least as good as a DRZ400, and can almost keep up with my mate’s WR450.
I live in Bowral NSW, and ride a lot around the trails off Wombeyan Caves Rd, and also at Belanglo State Forest.
I have just bought a new KLX450R. I am away at work right now, and will take delivery when I get back home in three weeks.
How did I hear of this forum? Someone must have sent a p.m. to every Australian on the thumpertalk forum – that’s how I heard.
Look forward to seeing some of you riders down in the Belanglo forest.

Now can anyone say who the Mekon is, why he likes green, and why he might “float by”

Welcome Mekon

We did a couple of rides a couple of years ago from near Mittagong out towards the caves, through lime burners over through Dingo Dell and up to Oberon and over to Hampton for an overnight stay, 2nd one over to Sofla for a pub stay, good time.

Wal (one of the old bulls) rides a KLX45o and lives around Mittagong, also some of the guys ride Belanglo and would love to hook up for a ride down there.

hello Mekon, not all aussies on TT were PMed, I missed out although I heard through Moto (from memory) on another fora.

I reckon you’re Navy bloke and due home in a few weeks.
Or kermit the frog taking a holiday, we all know he rode a CB750/4.
Rode a bit of road as well in my time Mmm maybe 26 years, gave up year before last as my self-preservation mode kicked in and returned to the dirt exclusively, where spatial awareness issues are less likely to cause my demise.

1-He likes green= armed forces
2-Mekon=Mekon delta, a reference to the Viet conflict,where I could be wrong..but our PT boats were heavily involved.
3-Floats by= on a boat.

1+2+3=6
6 must therefore = navy
or it’s completely wrong and I’m still a clown

Well i do spend time in a rodeo, and every good rodeo needs a clown.

Brucy is a clever fellow, I wouldn’t be surprised if he is right

The Mekon is kind of a navy guy – I am ship’s captain with CSL Australia on large self unloading bulk ships.

I rang my local dealer last week and secured a new KLX450 at a good price, then got my wife to hand the deposit over – gee I love that woman!

For those who came in late………. The Mekon is a little green bald guy from Venus who featured in the comic strip “Dan Dare” of my youth. He is an evil little character and floats around on a little boat shaped chair.

Don’t be too sure on that Micknmeld, i reckon you could be onto something there cause given Mekons age & that last statement about little green blokes floating around on “boat” chairs, I reckon Mekon has had his fair share of John Lennon inspirational moments.

Mr I am the walrus Blue :whistle:
