Hard to believe a year has passed!

I think I'll be a starter for that one dude, plus the Hospice is a good cause.

No, not at all! Plenty of different bikes there, but I usually put mine away and take the car to Rex's.:yes:

There has even been a Suzuki with L plate there a couple of times, that is earlier in the day usually when a "Lemon Lime & Bitters' will cut it though :LOL:

Any Idea of planed route? Will it be suitable for those of us with a little less Experience, who would also love to pay our respects?

When having radiation another couple of guys went there after their treatment finished one day,went for a quick beer about 1pm,got back to Oznamm house about 5.30pm pissed as lol.The barman wouldn't let them buy more than 5 beers they said,they were annoyed they couldn't enjoy his hospitality more as they were finished a couple days later,one has since died,but they both went back a few months later,the guy remembered them and he shouted a few quiets.We were going to have a 12 mth reunion/pubcrawl in 2005 but never happened,that bar was on the list to frequent.
