Yo Dudes and Dudess's
I have just come back from Lake Hawea's first ever rally, and a big congratulations to them, it was faaaaaaaaaantasic:clap::niceone:
Left Queenstown bout 11ish and had a slow and lazy ride there, through the magnificent Crown Range, well twisty (santa, please could you give me the gift for bending it like Beckham round those corners:shit:) Twas fun though, even though a tad scary...............had a gorgeous long very cold Mac's Spring Tide at the Cadrona pub,, and got to Hawea by early afternoon.
I know I continually rave on about the scenery that this wonderful country has, but man it literally looks like the mountains have been drawn into the sky there, spectacular, (got rather pissed on Saturday and shouted to the mountains "Do you realise how beautiful you are............obviously got grabbed by the moment there!!:whistle:
Got to the camp area and I literally put the bike on the side stand and then acted like a crazed nutcase trying to rip my leathers off, as I was seriously cooking in them.
Then I met the hostess, Bree who was in a bit of a panic, as it was her first rally there, her and her bloke used to do the March Hare a few years ago.
Anyway as it was so hot, decided to have a few cold one's before setting up the tent...........probably not a good idea, but wow, put the tent up and its the best its ever looked!! See Alcohol is just superb.:drinkup:
Friday night was spent hanging out at the pub and meeting John the Landlord and having a laugh with the staff......great bunch of people. and drinking a few more beers. Then sat as the sun set, watching them there mountains and sighing a lot.Doh!
Saturdays ride out went via the Crown but I only went as far as Cromwell, as the idea of blowing out Friday nights cobweb didn't work well!! and a furking wasp flew down my jacket and stung me just under my left tit, little bastard, but ended up beating my chest that the wasp looked like a small t shirt on me, when I stopped to examine the road kill which was now all over my stomach, little shit. (Prefer bee's, they only sting as a last resort and have the dignity to die afterwards, Wasps are indescriminate little wankers!!)
Anyway the numbers start to pile in, and Bree looked a little relieved (Told you not to panic mate eh?), and the Bike Show went on, so did the Tattoo show (decided not to get my arse out again!), and a band who were very loud, made Metallic sound like Country and Western rocked through the afternoon, they probably blew a few leaves off surrounding trees!!
Then about 930, Brothers Grim came on, fuck, they are good, the bald guy who lead guitars, just looks so much like the dude from Midnight Oil. the Band played in the pub and moved in and around the punters, and Midnight Oil clambered on a table and rocked the night away.
What a total laugh, and I love their music, we need to have these guys at more rallies please............................
So to sum up.
Well done Lake Hawea lure, it was fab fun, lots of regulars made the effort to support you, and as usual its brilliant fun to meet and greet old and new at these rallies.
Stunning setting, no wind and perfect weather. What more could a girl want. Perhaps a loaded Biker Boy Perhaps........please apply direct to woodybee:killingme
