On the road again, i cant wait to get on the road again to write letters home to my friends,I cant wait to get on the road again..............  ;D

More of an overview of weekend . The local club ( established in 1926 ) worked hard to run a successful event with the riders all praising the effort they put in , it was laid back but got through the races smoothly .Heard that ash may have done a collarbone  .The queensland riders did well in the results ( a good bunch of guys ) as did the nsw guys with the local vic riders getting many of the trophys .  There were 2 s a guys that we knew of getting placed .

Met Hillyz who had exploded the top off his yz engine and was riding his daughters bike  ( set up for a 50 kg rider ) . The cr250 evo   ( no 354 ? )next to us in the pits lost a chain and now can use one of its ohlins as a boomerang . Michael Hughes had an immaculate husky and offered his pressure cleaner to us . John Selas with his yz250 ( bringing back 2 kx wheels for someone in perth from him ) . Michel Sweeney ( no 68? With a quick yz 400 ). Col metcher has added a maico to his collection of racers . During the lunch break dads and kids were walking around looking at the bikes and talking about their own bikes ( one guy had a stable of tl250 Hondas , a farmer from up the road a bit had a hodaka 100 . Three big safari type bikes  parked by the transit ) .many more people whose names I will remember later .

Went back to place we are staying in , I did a machine wash then we went to the shamrock hotel for dinner , will get moving early mon morning and will come back through Adelaide for something a bit different

cheers us three Nick, Jo & Alison

I hope Nick & Jo are traveling well without any dramas after a great weekend of racin', ridin' and bench racin'

Plans are afoot for doing the same trip with with my pre78 bikes for the Classic Nats in September. Ahhh, the big open plain with the horizon for company. Schweeeet

"Met Yzhilly who had exploded the top off his yz engine and was riding his daughters bike  ( set up for a 50 kg rider )" Hmmm yeah not the perfect set up for Poppa Hilly for sure ::) ;) :)

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Last post ~~~~~
After the rain yesterday arvo we stopped at Balladonia for the night a nice little pub/ motel with a piece of Skylab in the attached museum .
Today  blue sky and the sunlight behind us, made the washed bush and red dirt with standing water look quite lovely.

Traffic seemed so slow from Northam down to Perth.

Home 4.15 this arvo , did a couple of 10hr days . The cats are ignoring us . Did the washing and went up the road for a Chinese and a bottle of wine .

Thanks to Jo and Nick for sharing their Post Classic Nats journey across Oz & back..
