, thought you might have gone just a wee bit faster.....

Faster? I'm still recovering from wrestling 300kg of Cherman technology around the hairpin past the Popo station. The brakes were doing well to haul the troll bike up after the straight as it was.

I also had one eye on the folk who would have seen my participation as a waste of taxpayers money. Welcome to my world. Living in a goldfish bowl means you have to be very careful with your Ps, Qs, and every other letter too.

I think your participation was a very good expenditure of my tax dollar.

Added a whole heap of respect to the event .

Do it more often with other bikers events, and maybee it will reflect in peoples attitude towards bikes

not a worry AJ,
made a wrong turn myself going back that way,
Yeah, the big "L" too many rules can snap you now so it was item to become legit .
If it was not for that road slug on the way onto the gorge, it would have been better,
but the guy in the black BMW was a twat. good day and ride anyways

About three or so pics of you on your bike in a hot rod forum - as well as the other bikes of course!

But none of you 'racing'

The weather was just perfect (where I was, anyway) and had to content myself with looking wistfully at all the bikes out over the weekend down souf.

Sounds like a great time was had by all; just sorry i warn't able to snuck out on a loooong "trip to the shops"...

Actually thought it was outstanding, feeding and boozing for fat grasping polititions(and Marriot), or spending on seeing police active in community events, no contest, was gonna give you hug myself but the line was too long........
