I'm good mate its only the worn out knee problem both of them. the problem has been getting worse over the last 6 mths and it means no RTE's until they are fixed.

Sounds like a good plan, I'm in, when?, but didn't Tipsy say "No RTE's till they are fixed"?

Just be careful fellas - Tipsy is likely to have the barbie cooking and the beer running - it could be weeks before we get out of there!       :eek                 :-++ :-++ :-++

Thanks to all for your kind words - you ALL helped make it a fantastic weekend.     :thumbs

Now - how to top this one at Victor Harbour???       :think1

The ride alone will top Blackheath for us Queenslanders.  Going to be a bit harder to impress the South Ozzies and Victorians.
Apart from that, I've never been to Victor Harbour, so there's another first.  Might be a few more riders like me.
So with the great ride they're cooking up for us down there we're well on the way to another winner.   :runyay

At Biggles & Diesel

Victor Harbor is the correct spelling which is spelt the American way. There's more to it but I'll put the Wiki link in for those interested.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Harbor,_South_Australia

There's a few good bike roads in the hills South of Adelaide but most of them are down to 80kph these days which is annoying when you used ride/drive them at 110kph without incedent.

Shoot Diesel- we're in the gun!  Who would have thought the South Ozzies would be so perverse as to misspell their own town!?

BTW, I think you meant "incident".   :grin

Anyhoo, apart from that, it looks like an interesting little bit of Oz to go check out, according to Wikipedia.

bringing the post back to Tipys,

my idea is the north siders meet at caltex carseldine at say 9:00, ride down beckett road , kelvin grove road across to the story bridge, wynum road to whites road, into alex hills then down to vicky point and Tipsu's.

drink all his coffee, eat all his biscuits annoy him cause he cant ride, then continue down to koala park to carbrook  tanah merah hit the motor way and then head back up over the gateway to carseldine.

BUT feedback IS required,    other groups can meet up along the way

and of course we will probably have to ask Tipsy, IF he wants us there, our bubbling conversation about all things ST and our SPARKLING Wit

That sounds great to me Harie.  I think Tipsy will be scrambling for his camera to snap 5-10 STs in his driveway!!!!        :crackup

Now - for the official name.... since we've had "Drinksy with Jinxy"... how about we call this one.....   wait for it........  "Tripsy for Tipsy".... right - I'm off now to GET A LIFE!     :fp                :rofl :rofl :rofl
