The Excellent Adventures of.. Trudes

So I volunteered to give The Tazman a break from the timing system for the Hillclimb so he could have a go himself.

Arrived nice and early and set shit up, entered day entry's etc, miss Number One arrived so of course the bull-shit basically starts from there, yabba yabba yabba!!

I plonk myself and laptop down by the gate, Gary makes sure everything is a go and we're ready for the first run, until we realise that the way I will be getting the times and bike numbers ...

Ok, so that was my adventures so far with Pamela the sexy bucket.
More to come, but really wanted to put it all together to make it easier to write an article for the FMRider mag, so sorry everyone who has already read all that and were sitting there thinking "Fook Trudes, this has all been done before, are you going senile?"
There will no doubt be more to come....

Oh and thanks to Bayden and co. too for the organisation, support, kind words and drinkies!

So a few things to sort out before next time, a few touch ups on the paint, some remoulding of the seat and put some more nylon on sticky out bits and reglue my ears.

Right, lets see if she starts! Nope, not for me will she (total hussy, only likes Andrew!!), so once Skunk got her started I headed out with all the other noobs to try her out.
Took it pretty quietly

Arrived a little late as had to drop a friend to the airport, to find everyone

LOL) and so we assembled all those and then Kyle and Nige got to unbolting the centre stand and turned Pammy into a leaner.
Ready to kick her over, everyone waited with baited breath to see if a) Trudes can kick start

Pamela... oh, dear Pamela. She is almost ready.
Went on down to the bucket factory last night and we screwed in all her screws, new chain had been fitted by some nice person who smells badly, but is very helpful, so I guess we'll forgive him, and the levers and cables are all now nicely lubed and tightened and fitted. Bled the brakes, still some more needing doing with that, but she'll be right
