CD8: Back home again
« on: June 13, 2011, 07:44:47 pm »
FANTASTIC.   BRILLIANT.  Like - WOW.
Loved it - loved it -loved it!
Thursday night at Maleny pub turned into an hilarious adventure, and they struggled to get us out at Closing.
Friday's weather ab-fab all day long - just perfect ... for the Meet'n'Greet
I reckon the Pre-78 track was better this year.   
Too Much Coffee Man showed up again, and kept us warm and topped-up.
I thought Darryl WILLOUGHBY's speech was wonderful at lunchtime Saturday Legends.
James DEAKIN and Dean BURT turned Legend Laps into a full-throttle hammerfest - it was EXCITING!!!
Cruising around the different marquees and private tents on the drizzling Saturday night was a good-fun adventure.
A yummy Factory Works SR443 (1980, built for Trevor WILLIAMS by same GP dept that made LACKEY's bikes - at a cost of 12,000 in 1980 dollars) on display.
The haybales appeared again, to make the bar nice 'n' cosy.
Husky Pete tanked up, and giving out man-hugs all around.
Alison worked the crowd and Valley to the max - having a great time
Loved the river running through the guts of Club Kevlar's tent, Saturday night
Coupla extra Vics made it up - Sean and Ken BAKER, Les BARFOOT
I managed to meet many, many more people this year, plus working out heaps of names to faces - great fun
So much stuff going on, whenever - or wherever - you turned ... why, there was enough to make a book
(Ha-ha. Not doin' that again)
--------
My best wishes to TM Bill and Steve BAKER, hoping they make full recoveries
-------
Thanks to the CD Sponsors, VMX Team and members of the SCMCC for a great event.   Goddam it was a sh*tload o' fun!!!!!!!
--------
And thanks to all you vintage dirt bikers for showing up, and making this event all that it is.   
I know that right now, there are problems with flights and flooded highways.  I hope everyone makes it home safe.
11.93 months to go ... 
Good On Us All!

The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

I went to look on Sunday.I think I pick the worst time over the weekend.I went from 10.30am to approx 3pm. Had a blast though. Track was wet and a quiet a few didnt ride. Great event though. Did I hear talk that CD is going to be at a different venue in 2012?? I hope not.
