A great assortment of bikes and friendly folks from the Darling Downs Riders Club joined us for lunch at Texas.

Some off the motley lunch crew at the RTE within a RTE.....at the Stockman Hotel in Texas QLD thanks to some of the DDR for coming along  :like






And it was rather fitting that this was the song that the iPod on. Random shuffle decided to play when coming into Texas QLD.....

Home by 3:30.
Piked out of ST2UP's suggestion- when I got to Tenterfield I got "get-home-itis and hit the slab.
For some reason my SPOT didn't kick in properly yesterday.  Couldn't see it last night but it initialised one hour into the trip down.  Whatever- here it is for the weekend, including the Copeton Dam run.

Lots of great reports and pix to follow (including Diesel's attempt to chase a black wallaby on STella).

I am home safe, will do a ride report later, but....

Have you ever seen this at an RTE?



I called the ghostbusters but they wanted nothing to do with it! To far out for them apparently!

Glad that outfit made someone happy.
I'm sure the rest of us will recover our composure one day...     :eek

I have some more pictures when I get organised, but this one is appropriate as we all thought the Tiger had been put to bed last year, but no here it was again...

  Hi all, thanks for the weekend it was good to put faces to names, Inverell is a great town, but the wash-out dips on the way to the dam were just too much for the parking brake cable on the Spyder because it jumped off, well one dip was anyway, no big drama because when we got to Western Motorcycles Penrith they took the panels off and reset and adjusted the cable,    wait for it,    for free and did 26 computer updates that cured the poor starting that was causing us so much trouble, again no charge, all within an hour, I am thinking of buying a lotto ticket my luck must be in, the week before I had the brakes tested at two local garages, one static and one rolling and again neither charged me a cent, mind you they did ride bikes!  there are lots of good people out there and Jackie and I met quite a few on the weekend, ride safe,  see you all again at the next meet, Don and Jackie
always look on the bright side of life, de dum, de dum, de dum, de dum, and ride ride ride.

Looks like another great RTE missed.  Dang!  Knew I should've cancelled by other engagement...or maybe not. Great to see a good weekend was had by all anyway. See you on the next one.
Red, loud, rowdy, and proud.

I don't want a pickle...I just wanna ride my motorcikle!
