      Wasn't it a fantastic day? I am so knackered My personal thanks has to go to the Police for today. Not only did they stop traffic and facilitate the ride, most of them were busy when I was attempting to catch the ride Fantastic effort WIMA! You all should be very proud of yourselves, and no doubt you will sleep well tonight.

      Bring it on for next year!

      Sorry if I caused any noise pollution , I don't like beeping, I prefer revving it 

      A couple of us at the back had good old time on the rev limiter a few times...
      Some snooty blonde in a car waiting to turn right around the Pt Chev area copped a ear full of HNP just cos I could (she had her window open)

      HNP= Honda Noise Polution.
