The Old bulls 4th birthday ride through Boony`s eyes.
Thursday night we loaded the PCM transporter with all the tools required for an OBT birthday bash.
1. Bikes
2. Esky full of beer.
6.00 am Friday morning and the lads started to arrive. Coffee at the servo and on the road to sunny corner we went. Had a few road trips with the lads in the past, but this one took the cake, Watto told us of his phobia of spider,(mistake number 1) :whistle: mistake number 2 was getting in the front when we stopped for a break to kick the tyres after we had had a few brews. :cheer: I thought it would be a bit funny to grad a long bit of grass and then tickle Watto`s neck when he wasn’t looking, well who would have thought we could get 5 hours outa that joke and end up with sore guts and jaws from laughing so bloody much. :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
We got to Mudgee and restocked the esky to be on the safe side as 2 cartons had evaporated so far on the trip. Snow needed a set of rear wheel bearings for the dozer so we stopped at the Mudgee john deer dealer and grabbed a set. The road trip continued and poor Watto just got punished some more. :whistle:
Finally we got to the camp site and set about erecting camp Tamvegas. When done we grabbed another beer stood back and went, yep that’ll do for the weekend. Went around and said g’day to a few familiar faces then grabbed another beer.
It was about then we were told that the ride was cancelled. So we grabbed another beer.
I don’t normally grace these rides with my presence and the first time I do it gets cancelled. :angry:CANCELLED??? WTF :angry: :angry:
Some bureaucrat somewhere said no to riding in the forest on a fully registered bikes (obviously for a very good reason) so that was that she was off.
Well you all know what that meant don’t yahs,
We had about a gazillion people camped in our campsite, :ohmy: and this meant grabbing another beer and do the rounds to say g’day to more familiar faces as they arrived.
Night fell and true to the forests form the ferals came out to play. Lucky we Tamworthian`s were well behaved! We had the pleasure of watching some items that had been bought along for the organized ride being disposed off in an orderly manner, and then just after sunset we were off to bed.
We rose pretty late the next morning, I was laying there listening to the rain on the roof of camp tamvegas and thinking that’s good we need the rain; :angry: I think I heard a rooster crow at about 06.00 at that got us out of bed. Brekkie was cooked and we geared up for a bit of a gentle trail ride to see if we could find some local sights to see considering we could ride as a large group we thought we should obey the law and just go off by ourselves. Well root me boot if we didn’t get out on the trails and there was this bloke on another trail bike riding the exact same trails we were doing. Any way I had had enough after about 20 ks so I headed back to camp to grad another beer. The guys returned to camp not very long after I got there so I grabbed another beer. The rain had not let up all day and I could only think how nice, we need the rain.
All those bloody people that were camped in our campsite decided to have a gathering around a fire that we lit and then this bloke got up and started handing out more gear that needed to be disposed of because our ride had been cancelled. The bloke up the front was really hard to understand because he kept pointing to different people and yelling out stuff. I was having a little bit of trouble seeing him so I thought I would use my little headlamp to help light him up, I could tell he was very appreciated of this kind gesture.
A lot of fun was had around our fire that night there was smiling facing and laughter, when all along we were saying “hey P off the rides been cancelled and this is our camp site”
I was woken on Sunday morning by the nice sound of a crowing rooster and what sounded like distant gun fire. The rain had let off and it was time for Brekkie and then we made a call that if this lot wasn’t going to get out of our campsite then we would leave.The trip home was as good as the trip there.
Thanks go to

And the Tamworth boy for making it a trip to remember.It was great to catch up with all those familiar face and I even got to put faces to avatars.
