NIGE Motorcycle Club

Saturday morning the sun was shining somewhere above the mist and a number of Niges set out for clear skies to the west. Usual meeting place where Nige, Benson, Keys, Sideways Bob, Black Santa, Lucky, and Mohawk shared some fond memories, hugs, and cuddles before heading off along that well worn trail to Wollombi. Nige said I, since it was my idea in the first place, should lead us out and then went immediately to his position out front. He set his usual blistering pace and we found ourselves at the pub about three minutes later. Dont know what happened to Mohawk he just kind of disappeared into the time space continueum that appears behind Niges Ninga from time to time. I hope he is well in whatever land or time he woke up in…..all the best old friend. Anyway those who remained made it to Wollombi and then back to a little known secret place called Jerries for lunch. By this stage Lucky was most unwell and didn’t eat or drink, just watched his good friends enjoy their meals then rode home and collapsed with the Ebola Virus or something like that and has only risen from his deathbed to post this um…..post.

Threatening aren't we.

Even scarier close up

Yeah we got nothin!!!

Geez Lucky are you ok? you seem to be putting off a real glow there.

Well Nige, Mohawk, Ant, Sideways Bob, and Lucky breezed into Dubbo Saturday afternoon to howls of disapproval from worried locals. However after some stern instructions from President Nige about following local customs and respecting the native wildlife all Niges except for Nige behaved beautifully. The Castlereagh Hotel provided good rooms and a hot breakfast for only $50 so that was good. I thought their roast dinners were a bit teensy weensy but Ant had the foresight to upsize his which brought some concern from the kitchen staff and a bit of a delay in the delivery. In fact Ant’s meal arrived about the same time ours was venting like the woodwind section of an Andre Rieu orchestra.
Anyhoo after a good night’s sleep by some we left early next morning for a quick ride round central NSW highlighted by a visit to the Parke’s radio telescope. Although we gave Nige a bit of grief about the visit we found it worthwhile and supports that whole thing about how boys like their toys.

A good ride home over dry roads and blue skies. Obligatory stop at Jerries and many warnings about Mr Plod hiding down the road in the school 40k zone. And he was too. That saved us a few hunj fo showa. Overall we all had a lot of fun and I’m not sure but but I wouldn’t be surprised if one Ninja rider may soon be spending some time in certain Suzuki shops negotiating a good price on the worlds greatest motorcycle. (Beginning with the letter H and ending in A with ayabus in the middle). End of unbiased report by Lucky.

Droop’s 77 Goldwing on the ramp for some much needed repairs to a rusty frame – paint & a new rear tyre all to be attended to whilst in this stripped-down condition. All work to ready the bike for next year’s proposed ride to WA & back!

Call for a ride to Grey Gum Cafe resulted in 2 Mild Hogs and no Nige’s able to make the day.

The weather was perfect as was the rest of the ride.

We managed to clear everyone else out, there were other people here before … honest.
