Nige MC Monthly Meeting
Become a card carrying member of Nige MC - join us this Wednesday 6 August, 7pm at Scrounger's garage - I'd be thinkin!
Come along for a fun filled night of frivolity including a free sausage sizzle, handout of ‘new’ club patches and fittings for the much sought after ‘NIGE MC’ sloppy joes.
Points of discussion will include plans for an overnight ride to Bendemeer Pub and a coffee/breakfast run this Sunday.
Bendemeer Pub, recommended by Patto.
Young Nige
Rod aka: Ned, Nige's younger brother. Handsome fellow, looks like his big brother and has the same tattoos.
‘The’ Scrounger at Club Night with all his mates – Classic Nige!
Scrounger trying out the new 'Scrounger-Mobile' bought unseen off eBay!
The Perfect Club :-)
Faster and faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.
Being a little biased towards Honda Blackbirds, I thought that I would post this photo of the perfect ‘Birds at Rest’.
BMW = Bavarian Motor (doesn’t) Work
It just stopped Boo Hoo, Sniffle!!
Something in here… Shortly after this photo was taken, Brizzer had a knee explosion that nearly took him out.
Scrounger showing great sympathy (NOT) but he is looking a bit stumpy.
Ray & Young Ray, Brizzer’s little helpers. Great example of the generosity and kindness that still exists in country Australia. Thanks Ray/Young Ray.
The Power of One, a good book but not good enough in this case.
Is there anybody out there? (Lyrics courtesy of Pink Floyd)
How much to buy a friend?
A beautiful relationship begins. Tony blows Briz a $110 kiss.
One horse (man/boy) power.
Does my bum look big in this truck?
Tucking the baby in.
Panorama of the drama. The travelling public could have been forgiven for thinking the worst!
There is a slight technical hitch with the audio on this clip, it is NOT Harry the Hamster 🙂
The continuing adventures of NIGE
Trip: 1340 kms round trip from my place. A fair ride in 3 days.
The start – the boys lined up outside “Hungry Jacks” Tuggerah at about 9.15am.
The ‘Bird’ showing off her newly acquired luggage.
The gang at Tuggerah Hungry Jacks before rolling out.
Another healthy start to a day. Boy, it was cold, does it look it?
‘The Baron’ thinking, ‘What are we doing here?’ but having a ball.
Nige “I’d be thinking this coffee is a bowl of soup!”
Nige “I’d be thinking sumthink burning – hmmm, maybe better check me flash new carry bags?”
Droopy “hmmm…if I stand here looking like a real ‘biker’ they might just start calling me Spider?”
Baron wondering just where did he put those pants?
The ‘Scrounger Mobile’
Brizzer’s Beemer decides it has gone on for long enough.
‘All in all, it’s just another brick in the wall’
Parked for the night in downtown Coonamble, the end of the road for Briz and his Beemer.
Almost journey’s end, Macas at Cessnock and some pretty sore body parts.
Narrabi, Coonamble and the BMW rides home on a truck.
Photos of the early part of the ride.
The Tourist Hotel Narrabri. Our digs for night one.
The boys still in riding gear on the veranda.
BMW luggage is great. It bites!
Nige, Scrounger and Brizzer wondering who has the coolest head wear.
A good value $3 breakfast at Subway before hitting the frog and toad.
Nige cleaning the ‘Bird’s screen in Wee Waa.
A very professional looking sign with some statistics of the bore.
Gee Nige you should ask permission before taking pics of old men in the shower we don’t even know!
One of the main reasons for the journey was to enjoy a soak in the Burren Junction hot bore baths.
Lots of grey nomads enjoy the health benefits of the hot baths and take advantage of the free camping.
Scrounger preferred dry relaxing.
The bikes parked outside the bore.
The boys ready to head on.
The world out here is flat.
Baron demonstrates the vast flatness of the scenery.
Nige trying to recall the last hill he saw.
Pie V2
Some of us went for a ride to RoadWarriors and then on to Pie in the Sky.
Brizzer with his eskimo gear on.
Star Wars characters?
Brizzer working the chair.
Steve Bisley on the prowl.
The likely lads.
Why is there a line across your neck? Neat leather beanie!
Saw some tidy machines!
Two Thruxtons. One a Velocette.
The other a Triumph (well a good try any way).
Guy sat on this Guzzi for ages – his knee had locked up and he couldn’t get off till it started working again.
Met this fellow who was giving up smoking. But Brettski helped him out by GIVING him a cig and helped himself by letting Nige hide his ciggies.
Took this little beastie for a ride. The guy will sell it to another shop for $7500 but will only sell to me for $7990. Tosser!
Edit by Nige: He means he took the bike for a ride, the guy he mentions as a Tosser is actually a salesman not either person actually ON the bike.

Onto ‘The RoadWarriors’ for another visit to the little boys room 🙂
I DO like these things!
