Wifes been on holidays in QLD for the last 2 weeks and is coming home Sunday. Doing house work like mad tonight, then, riding my 1978 Bultaco 350 Sherpa T in the SA Moto Trials Championships Saturday and Sunday. Been told by the race sec that I am the only rider entered in the Post Classic class (so far). Sound like I just might win!
