Oh well it must be about time to catch some kip. But before I do so, I best post the link to my pictures. I did not take as many of them as last year.

Excellent. Click on the image below and you can see some of the pics I snappererd

A few pics of the bikes at my place before we left and the rabble being transported over on the punt.
Great days ride for our group - haven't done a solo ride like that for a while and it certainly makes a difference to how hard you push things

sorry about the hug size they come through as - forgot to do the shrinking I usually do.

Yep, another rally down. Had a great time across the three days and two nights. Fabulous to catch up with everyone.

I'm above all that. Ducatis are for riding, not show ponies. We leave that to the HD mob.....

Ah yes, thats' right. All in good fun. Good to catch up again.

You snooze you lose

Another great rally and the 1st of the season

A big thanks to Mr and Mrs Dog for the usual great southern hospitality on the Friday night, although I did notice that everyones movement on Sat morning seemed to be a bit slow

I won't write up too much as it's pretty much all been said, so here's some pics ... oh, and there's more pic's and stories of the adventure trip to and from the rally here.

1. The view from the “other” side of the Clutha River while waiting for the 2nd load to come across on the punt.
2. 2nd load on the way ...
3. ... and still on the way ...
4. ... and docking.
5. The 2 loads gathered and ready to set off

**far queue** · 23rd September 2008, 21:17

... and some more pics ...

1. Lunch stop for half the group at Owaka on Saturday
2. Whilst having a quiet chat amongst ourselves on Sat night, this came stumbling across the field. It was fascinating to watch its ungainly 2 steps forward, 1 step back motion. I believe its Latin name is Shrekus Pisstus.
3. Here’s a relative of the same species - Ghostus Pisstus.
4. Say Cheese
5. Mr S was feeling a bit under the weather on the way home, so we had to stop and let him relieve himself.
