At Connondale on the week-end i had a good ride , saw a number great bikes at lots of great riding.

A number of things caught my attention when i was passing though the pits , particularly these Rusty replicas.

I really thought cloning was banned in Australia.

Pick the real Rusty

The must have added something to the genetic mix , as the replica's are a little larger than the genuine NOS part.

Well I had a ripper of a weekend at Conondale, it was sure worth the long drive, and dodging burning semi trailers both up! and back! on the highway.
Getting to race with the Cavell bro’s on the BSA’s & rad Brad 090 on his CZ in Pre’75 makes you work a bit harder, even to keep them in sight. And it’s a buzz when you’re leading a race, clearing the stepup jump at Drunks Hill and a BSA flies past you at shoulder height and proceeds to land somewhere down the hill and then tear off in a cloud of roost!
The only bummer was my RM250 letting the Russ Williamson ‘longhair’ lookalikes team down in the relay race when we were sitting in forth from the start. Sorry about that Russ, Magoo, & big Bill.
So thanks to all the team at QVMX for a great effort once again.

(PS. If any one happened to see a Suzuki Fuel Cap on the grounds, or the exit road, or the Bruce Hwy even, I lost it off my ’84 RM 250 , please PM me or ph:0417633944 thanks)

Why a pig in the Connondale photos?
Coz Brads Dad told some great pig huntin' stories at saturday evenings camp fire.
I was reminded when I got this porker in an e-mail today.
and let's face it, what fair dinkum motorcycle ridin' bloke doesn't like huntin', shootin' and fishin' war stories!

Note: Porky was supposedly caught some 300km south of Katherine in the Territory (that's northern Australia for the benefit of our overseas friends). The story went on to say it was eating the local dogs... :P :-\
