Hey Dad, hope you have a great birthday.

While I did not get much sleep listening to you and Uncle Clive snoring in unision and sounding like the Duke Ellington Big Band Brass Section.

At one point I thought I was listening to the start of an AC/DC concert and the intro to Hells Bells.

Thanks for a great weekend! …. It was great to have Uncle Clive share the same room with Irish and give my ears a rest and to have Irish confim that Clive snores and roars like an old steam train.

I Hope you enjoy the ear plugs – I bought myself a set as well but they are not for riding.

Happy Birthday Digger Blue

Cheers

Well Guys & Girls,I can only repeat what has already been said.
What a great day out in Gods Great Garden, with some absolutely great people, I was so impressed with the look out positions, in particular Flat Rock, while this may not have such fond memories for some.

Thank you Beemer, Training Wheels, Old AL and my old digger blue mate Boulder, you guys certainly done the O.B’s proud with great leading, great following and a watchful eye overall.

Thanks to Troy and Adrian for dropping back to check and ensure everyone was tickin along tickety Boo.

Troy next time I will bring some valvoline – if you know what I mean – cough – choke.

We certainly are lucky to have such a wonderful country and to be taken to some of its special places by a couple of amazing people.

It makes you proud to be an Aussie and an O.B.

One of the highlights of the ride was b eing able to get out of my Ute by myself, shower and dress myself and not have my bride and kids lauging at me- not to mention all bones in the correct place.- Bit of a bonus really!

Thank you all and cheers – well cheers in 22 days but who’s counting.
P.S
Well done Cat Girl on knocking up a roast you did exceptionally well.good luck in April.

G’Day guys and girls,It has been thoroughly enjoyable reading all the previous threads and I would like to add a few lines.

To T.B and your off sider’s, firstly thank you for a great bunch of folks to catch up with and secondly what a great place to ride and stay. The atmosphere was fantastic, both on the trails [well I was on the trails some of the way]and back at the shearers quarters.While I can’t even try to estimate the amount of work you put in I can only imagine, and it is greatly appreciated, something that you should be very proud of T.B&CO.

T.B spoke about a ride to raise money which was a great idea and everyone in the room was quiet, everyone was listening to T.B’s charity talk, and no doubt contemplating!! The community spirit of the OBT’S is quite amazing.I am looking forward to reading all the details and maybe being of some assistance in some way-
Perhaps with my old cruiser.At least I haven’t fallen off it! [YET!]
I wasn’t around when the votes were taken for my nomination as most improved rider. But I guess the argument could have been discussed as [well he couldn’t get any worse!]

Thanks to Ollie for the effort put in to making my TROPHY- Well at least that’s what I’m telling my mates I received.

It’s going straight to the pool room!

Louee was a great place to not only have a great choice of places to ride but to catch up and put a face to some of the names on the forum. It was particularly interesting putting a face to a “Moose”!

The poker run was fantastic- I was fairly looking to blow the top off a frothy chop after that.

Saturday night was a great night and I had a great time talking to Bill, Chris, Ollie and Boony and many others that the Bundy has blurred my re-call.

To quote Darryl Kerrigan – You can’t Buy that!

Finally; Thank you to my good friend Boulder for introducing me to such a wonderful bunch of people, and giving me a big hand with my bike.

Thank you everyone for a great weekend- looking forward to catching up with you soon -P.S That’s something I am always thinking when I am riding!!

Cheers
