Shame no one else turned up to Gixxer's place for the dirt bike ride, He put on the opportunity and very few took him up on it.

Opportunity missed, is an opportunity missed......

Thanks Mary and Steve for your hospitality and the yummy muffins

Thanks for turning up you two. If you had not made it I would have had to mow the bloody lawns.

Glad you enjoyed it Todd.

The muffins were a bit hot in my Honest opinion. Mooo should have got them outa the oven earlier.

And good to see you Rob and Cindy.

Shame other couldn’t make it but that’s life.

Have a great week you lot and see some of you at the track on Sunday………

Well I had a good day too.

Finished pulling the Duc apart again, then gave the DR heaps around my paddock trying to get my off road skills back again on my to be completed dirt track.

I pillioned with Tony (as Ruby has no rego) on his BMW (henceforth known as "The Whale")...very comfy armchair ride, I must say and we headed off into the hills with Mstrs leading.
Xr Johnny showed off a stunning bright red lady's bike...(I know, cos I sat on it and its tiny!). Are you sure that it really is a 1200?
Now, this was a nana's ride but we struggled to keep Wickle in sight at times. But thanks to the stop at turn offs guidelines, nobody got lost.

We somehow found our way to DR Girls for coffee and conversation. She knows many important people, and the conversation was a hoot!!
The whale rider led for the next part of the journey...gracefully sliding his leather armchair round corners motard style! I thought he said he was a nana...

Ended up at Milk and Honey for more bevvies and general shit slinging. A certain R1 rider must have been on a promise or something...because he avoided stopping to chat

Thanks for the wave, dude!

An interesting day, guys, thanks heaps

'thats y i stayed at the rear so as not to
affect you faster people.....and wouldnt have thought
itd be a problem on a 'nana' ride ,, as my speedo doesnt work, but going by revcounter 5000rpm plus is quite adquete (f7) for my 28year bike and me

Don't understand why u r worried abt rego I"m shore I saw the wrong date on one bike!

Enjoyed the ride but sorry I held you back on a 'Nana ride'

I got my TY sorted (sort off) bit of a muck around with needle heights and a good thrash at the river, My son had lots of fun too on his 80, I forgot how agile trials bikes are, even old ones. Shame i didnt get to Steve's , sounds like you had fun.
Will catch up at Manfeild next week Steve,

You never held us up at all, mate! It was a great cruisy nana ride...we should do it again!
Worried about rego...because
a) it's illegal to ride without one (and I don't break the law) and
B) I can't afford to get caught!
