HA HA HA - LMFAO.

I only got one pic of the meet-up at Lawnton. This is before everyone got there.



Thanks for the company everyone, shame I only got the day pass.
Thanks for the lizard Greg - My indicator cover is now a wreck, and when I took my jacket off and put it down outside at home, the ants attacked it chasing lizard gizzards.

Someone remind me to put my stand down next time I hop off the bike too please. (Anyone got a spare clutch lever ?)

Sorry Russell & Greg , just couldn't help myself, we look like the three stooges and this photo deserved captions...

LMFAO

What can I say? If you've got it..........

Thanx Nigel

Sorry M8ee. I should supply that clutch lever in return for the lizard and for the stand entertainment?? Maybe help with an auto stand mod for you for future rides??

Thanks Shredder with an excellent weekend. Great organizing and planning too. It does take a lot of time and effort and even more so when the numbers get up to more than 20 bikes. Well done! There was a good mix of roads, great people and weather. Paradise Dam was well worth the extra bit too with its roads and scenery. That's one area I'd like to revisit. Peter and Sue enjoyed the weekend too. They still had the run back to Sydney to do, and should be back today. Thanks again Shredder.

Is this evidence that a Bandit really is a 'girls' bike???

[bigfoot]

What a great way to start the riding year. A ripper weekend enjoyed by all who went.
There are good rides and then there are great rides, and the great rides are the ones that get talked about for a long time. For mine, the difference is the people who get along to a ride, which made this one of the greats. A big congrats to all that came along 'cause it was a huge turnout of good people and it made a great bunch who had a brilliant time!!!
Obviously, as the numbers increase, so does the likelyhood of incident. This one wasn't without exception. The good thing was that nothing was serious and everyone was able to continue to enjoy the ride. Even Trix made the comment that I usually avoid incident on rides but had my fair share this time with 2 holes in my radiator and 2 bird strikes (one on each hand).
Big thanx need to go to Shredder for organising the ride, top job mate. (even with a little bit of back tracking the overall mood and enjoyment was kept high through what you organised)
Another special thanx for me needs to go to m8ee and vnsvle for hanging back and helping me with my radiator holes. Champion effort guys (even after m8ee forgot the stand when he stepped off 10 minutes before hand. Ooppps I'll bring you that clutch lever to the creek)
Thanx also to Tim & Fred as good roomies who shared a room and didn't say anything about my snoring
Thanx also to everyone else who just did the right thing on the ride and made for great conversation at all the fuel stops and at the pub on Saturday night. Can't wait to ride with you all again this year.

Here are a selection of my shots from the trip.

Good work GC. Love the action photos.

It was special to find out when I met you in person that the rear end in your avatar is your own. Good work there too !!
