It was …

We went for a ride to Bathurst. It was pretty good and nice. Some people went and some of those had ice cream. We came home. Some even came ALL the way…..home. Did I mention that it was good? Well….pretty good. And nice?

“Lucky, we’re going on a ride….and it might be my last!!” said Nige, “but don’t worry, I might be ok.” “I wasn’t worried,” replied Lucky. “What ride?” “Yeah nuh, I’m pretty sick Lucky and I have asked DD for some special prayers.” “Is it the Aids?” “Nuh!” “Corvett 19? That’s a bad one.” “Yeah Nuh …

“Nuh, I’m not going and neither is Brian!!” “Yeah but Nige!” whined Lucky, “That only leaves four of us for the ride.” “Yeah! nuh! wrong!. The ride is cancelled! There will be no ride. I repeat…. no ride!!” So four of us met at Jerry’s on the first week of the school holidays for the …

Boris had a plan. It was a good plan too. Rocky said he wanted to go to Mudgee to see the motorcycle museum there so invitations were sent out. Four rooms only at The Winning Post Motel right in the centre of town. Lucky had scored a room and Moey was a close second. “Gentlemen” …

“Seven, seriously? Seven?” “Yes Nige” replied Lucky “And we’re all leaving together” That was a nice change.

All the fairy-floss boys were still tucked up cosy and warm in their flannel night shirts when the Nige’s met at Tuggerah maccas for the two night ride to Bathurst and beyond. Boris, Nige, Lucky, and Moey hugged it out as usual over skinny caps and chai lattes or whatever. Nige, now alcohol free since …
