On a rainy day we had a roll-up to this RTE that could be expected with the weather like it was. A couple of surprise attendees tho, who didn't indicate they were coming but came anyway. I call them STars, ie, ST anonymous riders. You can see in the photo that we have DougSTar and ShazSTar. Doug and Sharon are from West Wollongong and that's what surprised me being from the Gong as well. Anyway, they enjoy the OZstoc site and decided to come along. Good one guys.
They were riding a very nicely converted white ST1100 ex-police bike.
As it turned out, the rain was only 15 minutes b4 arriving at Bundeena and another 15 mins at the Gong end for A2Z, DougSTAr, ShazSTar and I. Also attending was Neale from Harrington Park. Waiting to find out how his ride home went.
We had a good chat and a good meal.
A2Z had his first ride with the club on his newly acquired 2008 red dragon 1300 and is joining those who are going to Ebor for Christmas in July. A2Z and I enjoyed a short ride to Mt. Kembla lookout last week. Both of us are working on getting the wives on the bikes but that will take time and good weather.
A2Z's name IS really long because it is a Spanish custom to add the prefix 'De ' plus the name of the village where the family originated.
Neale also had his first ride with the club after travelling to Melbourne only 3 weeks ago to pick up his 2009 Red ST1300 - another dragon!
