Motocross at Raymond Terrace
Went to Raymond Terrace with the “kids”. Clint is riding 54, Ronette is on 231 and Curtis is on other KTM with the blinkers.
I was hopeless and rode with the juniors so as not to get run down by the quicker guys ie everyone. As I was picture taker there are none of me.
Fresh Blood
Saturday, 29th March 2008
Destination: Wollombi Pub
Riders: Brett, Ivan. Brizzer and Nige
Brett’s snazzy BMW R1100S looks nearly as good as the ‘Bird.
A long range shot of Ivan and his Trumpy.
Brettski enjoying a fag whilst perusing the bikes.
It does look alright eh? Goes pretty fast too!
The warrior (even if a little stumpy) getting ready for ride battle.
Squash and Diet Coke, what is going on? Hello?
Brettski’s reaction to Brizzer’s offer.
The boys studying a nice ‘Triumph Rocket 111’
Sun streaming onto the bikes at Catho Hill Bay Pub.
A bit deserted for a Saturday arvo but always a good place for an ale.
Dungog
After a couple of early setbacks, we did eventually get under way.
The ‘Bird parked outside the pub at Patterson.
Oh yeh! There was another bike there as well 🙂
There were some guys on Harleys BUT two of the Harleys had ‘Tank Bras’ on ……. and they were serious.
The Briz sporting his new, colour co-ordinated look.
The bikes framing a lovely old house that had been hit by the purple spray gun from hell.
Nige looking for the rest of the gang. Hello??
Briz drinking a ‘ridiculous’ amount of beer yet again.
Nige looking like a sheep (not monkey) caught in the headlights 🙂
The Bank Hotel, Dungog. Ready to leave.
Excellent and fast ride home, some good roads around this area for Nige to reach his favourite speed.
Bike School
How sad is this, the bikes lined up at school and not a planned ride in sight.
Anyone with ideas for a good ride real soon (this Saturday) and Easter or school holidays?
Patonga Pub
Helen and I checked out the Patonga Pub.
Very classy. A bit expensive but nice food and great ambiance.
Looking back at the Pub from the wharf.
The view from where we sat and had lunch right near one of the big pines.
The Citroen club was there. I think these 2CVs are neat.
Not sure what they’d be like to drive – gear stick protrudes from the dashboard and 2CV stands for 2hp.
