CD8: Back home again

[suzuki27]

Is that Ken, caught mid-stride, doing the Robo-Spas' walk?
Some good candid pictures in there. Surely it couldn't have been that cold! Looks more like Broadford than Conondale.

1.   All the hang-dog faces are nothing more then the standard expressions one gets, while listening to the riders briefing.
(For everyone's info, all o' you old bastards look dog-faced these days, as the flesh drops.)  For the rest of the three days, 
I haven't seen so many blokes laughing so much for years.
We all had a fab time!

2.   I'll put a few more pix up later on.   And I'll name names.

3.   Cold?   I reckon it was about 5 degrees warmer than last year.   Rain started softly just after lunch.  Because the ground was
pretty waterlogged (but dry) already, it quickly turned to mud in the pits.   Didn't stop the Saturday night socialising at all!

4.   What about someone else - anyone got pix to post?

Steve Baker is out of hospital and will be going home to Sydney tomorrow, he's a bit soar but aok.

Still on the way home. At Yass tonight (great steak at the motel) Will drop off a frame tomorrow for a forum member to GMC and a YZ80/XR to another forum member in Melbourne tomorrow. Have picked up a couple of XL250's (bare bones) from a forum member at Lismore NSW area and some other XL250 parts from another forum member at Central Coast NSW. Also picked up an ex Gary O'brien VR360 from Sydney which I bought a few months ago.
Had a great time at CD8. Shame it ended early for us. Met a lot of great forum members and caught up with some fantastic friends also. (Coowee Alison) Thanks to Doggy Digger for making sure we got to bed ok 2 nights running.
Can't wait for the next one.

Stan.

How good looking is this (YZ's not bad either )

Stan.

Nothing like having some strong competition from your brother for the best looking CD8 bike

[Hoony]

Yeah Hoony, I think so but #8 could back me up here. Both beautifully done though and are a credit to both Armstrongs, I saw them both last year but they seem to have made them even better looking for this year.
