My RAM mounts are lockable, so mine should be safe.    :p

I'll be leaving Berri about 8am to Bordertown about 11.30 then on to Ballarat for about 4pm.. (Friday)
Anyone on the SA side going over through Bordertown that might be there about that time?
And who the hell was I staying with over there? Got a bed in a cabin but can't remember who!!!!

Sounds interesting.    :popcorn


My social relations with The Law have all been in relation to buying tickets to the Policemen's Ball, which they never do send!     :fp

Well we have unpacked and we are in debrief mode with a couple of fat yaks  :beer



As for our adventures with the 3 NSW men in blue, we stopped for a relief stop and they pulled us up, and we thought oh this will be fun....the conversation began with "hey I am looking at buying and 03 ST1300, what can you tell me about them" about 10 mins later they had to go but we might have a new member or two....
