Stevo’s Ride Report As the Newest Member:
Left home @ 5.30am & headed for Tamworth with a new 2ndhand WR450F ’07 model – my midlife crisis. Never been trailriding b4, got to Tamworth & met up with Bollocks & Booney. I’ve known Bollocks for a few years & he seems to be alright????? :huh: But I’d never met these other blokes b4. So I was thinking what sort of blokes at our age get these souped up bikes & spend the whole day riding at Nundle? They must be a mob of wankers
. So we met the other blokes & headed for Ted’s (the farmer) place. Saw the cows & got geared up. I am a farm boy & been riding all my life but never had any gear. Cycle Tune lent me an armour & Bollocks (the good bloke that he is) lent me some boots. That, with the new pants and top on, I was thinking that I was the wanker….. Fired the bikes up but had to wait for the 426 – dirty fuel or something. By this stage I felt like a thoroughbred b4 it’s first race. The adrenaline was unbearable, not knowing whether I would be able to keep up with these weekend riders. We got going and it was unreal. I was able to stick with the blokes. One of the best things I’ve ever done. Thank God for my midlife crisis the WR450F – what a bike. It threw me a couple of times and I got close and personal with the Nundle gravel but thanks to the armour it was no worries. Had lunch at the Berry Patch in the middle of nowhere. Got 2 sausage rolls and watched Bollocks devour his berry pie and icecream, I had to have some too. Thanks to the Berry Patch – what a refuge for us blokes. We were up it again heading back to the cars, sliding all over the place after a quick downpour of rain. Wish I had that new tyre on that I was going to put on the day b4. My goggles were like seeing through a duststorm with rain so I ditched them. We got back to the cars @ 5pm – what a day! I was chafed in the arse and a bit sore from my stacks and bloody sore in the arms & shoulders. I found some muscles that I haven’t used in years. Loaded up the midlife crisis, helped Pep get the keys out of his F250, thanked the boys for a fantastic day. I will definitely ride with you all again. Cheers Stevo
