    Hi, Did a couple of hours(60K’S) at Anglsea yesterday and the shoulder held up Ok until I got home and cooled down and then started to freeze up again. The best madicine for that was beers and a spa and then lots more beers that certainly numbed the pain. Much better this morning so my medicine must have worked.
    I meet up with a group who were on an organised ride and got talking about the site as they saw the stickers on my good friend the DRZ (as it didn’t spit me off this time).They were hooked up with the Ottway Trailriders. Looked like a good bunch and well organised so I might book in for one of their trips to see how it is( aroung 180k’s I’m told). Hopefully get a copuple more Vic riders signed up as most of the group were older riders. They looked surprised when I took the helmet off and they saw my grey locks and bald head underneath.
    Had the injection this afternoon ( boy are they fun, not) the doc said to give it six weeks if it does not improve they will try something called a hydro stretch before having to go under the knife.
    Thing are looking more promising as I survived the ride so I will have another go this weekend maybe a bit longer this time to put a bit more pressure on it.

    Hi guys tried to send this last night but did not get it on.
    I’m still in at this stage, I had a bit of an off on the DRZ on the long weekend up at the Murray as it rained all weekend and made the tracks like an ice skating rink. I did a bit of damage to my shoulder and can now lift it to level but not above my shoulder. I’m going for a gentle squirt at Anglsea tomorrow to see how it holds up and the an injection into the joint on Monday to see if i can get more movement and dull the pain.If this doesn’t work I go for another injection in 4 weeks if that’s no good its under the knife time. I will send through the deposit next week anyway to book the spot and see how we go.
    Hopefully it will be OK and will be attending

    The skins pretty thick in that area I think I use my son’s tattoo gun to see if it”ll get through. I’ll see what I can do for that weekend. Off to Anglsea tomorrow for a quick squirt to try and gat some practice in.

    Love to come for a ride but don’t think I can make it. I will be away for the long weekend until Tuesday cray fishing and riding up on the Murray so I don’t think she who must be obeyed will give me a leave pass for two weekends in a row.

    I’m a goer Menace, just spoke to the missus and she has given me the all clear providing I don’t do any carnage to myself. I’ll be able to move my RDO’S around to suit that weekend. Let me know when and where to send the deposit and I will get it overto you. Looking forward to a cold but good ride. I’ll have to get my arse into gear and start getting out for a few practice runs over the next few weeks.

    address and phone No would be great as Lara is only about 20 minutes from me. I’ll give him a call and see what the cost is with me doin’ the work. Seems like there’s a fair bit of sag on these with us larger riders.

    thanks guys will give these names a try and see how much of my hard earned missus (financial advisor) will let me have. I’m sure if i tell her double what the cost is I’ll get close to the mark.
