Lightning Ridge

Holiday ride to Lightning Ridge.

Stopped somewhere, talking about something … you know me.

Briz brought his cousin Ian along on the FJR.

DD waiting for the pool to be cleaned. Briz and Ian had already had their soak.

The previously mentioned pool looking resplendent after cleaning. DD soon fixed that.

Some fascinating information.

Spent some time in Lightning Ridge having lunch and a coffee or two and was pleasantly surprised how civilised and reasonably large it was.

The pub in the background of this shot (where we stayed) was the same pub where Nige was taken by aliens on a previous visit. It ended badly for Nige and the aliens.

Nostalgic Nige

A few images from the old days of Nige MC – November 2007 at Jerry’s – where else? Back in the days when BMW’s ruled supreme! Putting these up ’cause I’m sick of looking at Droop’s bike!

Droop & Scrounger’s Willow Tree Ride

Visited the sister’s Farm-stay at Willow Tree as a ‘shakedown’ ride for both of our 77′ model bikes. Mine went well – a few electrical issues for Droop’s.

The Artist formerly known as CC turns 50

Brettski has survived long enough to turn 50 today and has recovered from having his leg cut off, so much so that with a bit (lots) of turps in him, he can even play tennis 🙂

He now vows to give up the evil weed ……..

Back when he was just an innocent 47 yr old and he could still sorta ride a bike.

Ride Often: Ride Safe: Travel Far: Do It Soon:

Pilgrimage ride to Broken Hill for a family visit.

Bridge over the Darling River at Wilcannia.

The Ninja loaded up.

Plenty of rain out this way too – Stephens Creek very full.

Did I mention it was cold ….

Trip to the river at Menindee. All these blokes share the same surname.

Can’t beat a feed of yabbies.

Saw this KLunkeR with a tow bar on one of my many walks around Broken Hill.

It must be one of them there turbo charged KLR’s 🙂

Gloucester and Beyond

Mohawk and Nige went for another ride on the mighty KLR650’s and yes, it rained again but at least it waited until we were nearly home.

How’s the Serenity?

Quiet ride in the bush then up Red Hill to Jerries for lunch, to Worthingtons to annoy (I mean talk to) the guys, coffee at Maccas and home.

You wouldn’t be dead (or at work) for quids ……

Grey Gum Clubhouse

Lucky insisted that we ride to Grey Gum AGAIN, I mean, doesn’t he know anywhere else to ride  🙂

Fantastic weather and a great ride; Ant, Keys, Brizzer, Lucky, DD and Nige enjoyed a drink and some lunch in the sunshine.

KLunkeR Rebuild

KLunkeR using toooooooooooo much oil so it was decided a rebuild was in order.

Had the ‘Doohickey upgraded while the open heart was being done …. runs much quieter with, hopefully, a better long term outlook.

Top of the piston showing lots of carbon build up.

Lots of stuff has to come off.

The head was similarly coked up.

Is this what is known as a naked motorbike?

They had enough of me hanging around by this stage … seeya Nige!
