Not every time Paul .... and like the Conondale Classic where I was taken out in the start straight FFS, lately I seem to be racing against numptys that think the race is won in the first corner.  It's not won in the first corner but it can sure as shit be lost there.  Also not convinced some of them know that to finish first, first you must finish  ::)

Sorry to hear you got banged up Simo, my best wishes for a speedy recovery mate. Thanks also for the loan of the IT400 flywheel/rotor and clutch plates matey, if it wasn't for the generosity of you and a couple more good folks my bikes wouldn't have got to the almost made it stage. I had one of those shit happens weekends......terminal ignition failures on the Cheney a pulled head stud on the DT1 and 8 stitches in my leg from those evil Chinese footpegs.........and I was only walking the bike to the scrutineering bay ::). We had a hoot of a time though. Bring on Pt Augusta.

Sorry to hear that Andrew, those situations are a bugger but the way I see it, there's always next year. You've got 12 9 months to sort out the kids and the ex.........good luck mate.

I've put the Quervo Gold aside for next year mate. We've already started talking about a container so your speech  may well have inspired us ;D.

It's not as hard as it seems.  Just takes a few phone calls to start to get your prices.  Someone to make crates the same size.  Some idiot (me) to handle money and ask for expressions of interest, arrange bibs etc.  We did not get any support, financially from our clubs and we opened it to all those who wanted to go (no politics, just fun).  Nick and I have the info people need to be able to get 28 crates in the container, with about 450mm space on top for quicl shades and other equipment.  As stated during the meet 25 bikes Perth to Myaralong and return $231.00 per bike, should be a heap cheaper to Port Augusta

yeah Tossa - looking at the road trip again - enjoyed it so much last time and the flexibility at the other end was great.  I also can't get home to crate my bike up before hand anyway  ;D

I would like to catch up at PA - Firko, Freaky, Joan, Nick and Iain all owe me beers anyway - might keep away from you guys and Tequila though  ;D  Fatboy said he would come also - could be an ugly weekend- now drink or ride mmmmm!
