Dribbles, it is great to hear from you after so long.
Where are you living now? You are still back on the east coast of Australia, right?
Are you still with Deuce?
You still riding the Kawasaki or did you see the light and get a Yammie?
Bear calls the Yamaha "the people's bike", hehe. He's still got the Kwaka.
Yeah, it's pretty much the same old crap here with the odd drama here 'n' there.
Jester's first year as President has been a hell of a year. Bear couldn't have left us with a better candidate for our tenth anniversary year I reckon.
We "thwarted" an armed hold-up not too long ago and became an instant world wide news item. Luckily for us the bandids only had machetes. We armed ourselves with tables and chairs, hehe. It was a bit "keystone cops" when when viewing some fo the footage but if you take a look at some of the earlier posts in this guestbook you will see we got a pat on the back from places as far away as Norway. This guestbook had never seen so many comments.
I was pretty proud of the boys for sticking together. They didn't hesitate in rushing 'em.
Not long after this thwarted robbery at the Regents Park club where we now meet, we were invited to celebrate our tenth anniversary at that club.
Plus, a dirty magazine did a photoshoot of us with a nude model - the closest in years I've been to a nude woman I didn't have to inflate, hehe.
So, as I write this I think this year has been a bit out of the ordinary. More than just weekends away or club barbies.
We still have the odd weekend away and club barbeque where Krusty has been seen breaking the legs off perfectly good chairs in his search for more firewood.
There is now one truly "East" ride each month. It's intended to be a pretty short ride. An excuse to get out of the house for those of use who have other things to attend to on the day.
The weather has been crappy of late so after being off our bikes for a while we've had a recent upsurge in interest in the Sunday rides.
I hadn't been to a ride or meeting for several months and when I was amongst 'em again I have to say it was a buzz.
I hope you drop in to a meeting or come for a ride sometime because we'd love to see you Dribbles.
Or maybe I could get in touch with Chook and see if we can meet up at his place for homebrew... umm... I mean... for social interaction. I haven't seen Chook and Mouse for yonks either.
Dribbles, those who knew you may not be into writing letters or texting you on the 'phone but as soon as we see you walk through the door you will be flooded with hugs 'n' kisses - with the odd bit of tongue for good measure, hehe.
I miss you and look forward to catching up with you. We could "do lunch" on the Latte Home Ride East, hehe.
What's wrong with a Mocha at Newtown anyway? Huh? Huh? I ask you that.  |
