As long as it's fine enough Saturday to see all the bikes out in the open and the swapmeet doing the business and I'll be a happy camper. Joel will be right at home too if the tracks wet! Just two more sleeps for me and I'm on the road.

Quicky, its a great vibe even if you cannot ride. just checking out all the bikes and talking to lots of like minded blokes is an event itself.

 NEWS.com.au Network April 23, 2008 07:07pm
RESIDENTS in the NSW Hunter Valley and the state's mid north remain on flood watch tonight.

The warning came as Sydney broke a 15-year rainfall record today.

Meteorologist Dick Whitaker said Sydney recorded its 11th consecutive day of rainfall, breaking a 15-year record.

"Weather records indicate the last time Sydney experienced more than 10 days of consecutive rainfall was in 1993,'' Mr Whitaker said.

"Even more impressively, it's been 77 years since we've experienced 11 consecutive rainy days in April.''

Showers are forecast for Sydney tomorrow but they are expected to ease on Anzac Day.

A Bureau of Meteorology spokesman said between 140mm and 150mm of rain was expected to fall in the Lower Hunter, The Great Lakes region and the Manning River catchment from 4am (AEST) tomorrow.

"We are expecting the rain over the next 30 hours,'' a bureau spokesman said.
