Has anyone heard of the group who's heading over to Blackball in the morning (saturday). Apparently we meet at the "Yaldie." It was said it may be a 9am start?? Any updates???

I'm over on saturday but doubt I'll make the yaldie by 9.00, was going to pack the bike tonight but the missus decided to go visiting and drinking so be lucky to make it there by 10.00, see ya in blackball

We have cancelled the blackball run due to dodgey weather conditions.
Maybe next time!

Well I made it, all be it in a car. I really like Kopara, isn't is a neat place?

I was however able to bring my old Bessy with me. I was rapt that so many shots were true and hit the gong.

Im home, safe in sound , wet from the rain, blasted from the norwester
and happy to have spent the past three days with some awsome people.
Awsome food, Awsome party. Awsome ride/
Flip, bessy was just the beast , pity you ran out of powder I would loved to have had a couple more bruses from her,loved that weapon.
Musket Training Camp Kopara, we all know now how to prime load and fire flintlock and percussion cap muskets! Yeah, big bangs, big balls of smoke, and targets demolished!

Subike pretty much summed things up nicely.

Myself and Sexy Lexy had a ball of a time. No dramas on the way home, did get a bit wet but couldnt get the wet weather gear off fast enough in Springfield. It was so hot compared to the Coast.

Anyways here are a few pics that I took. Excuse the poor photography skills. Also that rooster sure knows how to line up his hens.

Awesome weekend, wet windy, wild and all bloody good fun.

Ride over saturday via arthurs and back via lewis today both the same, definately a ride of 2 halves.

Great night saturday night, good to meet lots of people and if I'm lucky I might even remember some of them. Or maybe not

And big thanks to the people that did the organising.

Fantastic people, fantastic place, fantastic weekend. Bloody marvelous!
Very wet through Otira/Arthurs this morning, but lovely & warm this side of Porters!

Thanks to all for organising, cooking, donating, chatting etc etc

See you at the Woodstock....

Just made it home! Despite the weather and the 5 star accomodation we had, I had an absolute blast!! Big thanks to Shrek, Steve and GB, Timg and JM for doing a fair bit of the cooking!!!

However the SV did not like the rain. Decided not to fire on all cyclinders not long past Springs Juction, so basicly had to go 60KM all the way to hamner. From there it sometimes started. Looks like the bike will be in bits very soon.

Fantastic time, cant wait to see the picks of pink panther!!

Also looking forward to seeing the pics of Roger!!
