Title: Memorial Ride in Darwin
Post by: WendyL on October 11, 2015, 07:36:48 PM: Yesterday, NT Women Motorcycle Riders got together to farewell the husband of one of our members who passed away in July from cancer.

We met at Palmerston, and rode together to Stokes Hill Wharf for breakfast.

After breakfast, we took the scenic route, through Darwin city, along the coast past East Point and Nightcliff before finishing up at NT Motorcycles, where Steve's bike is being put on display.

A great group of girls. We ride together, we support each other through thick and thin, and most importantly, we have fun. Reminds me so much of the camaraderie I've experienced through OzSTOC

Much too young, and such a gentleman, even if he did ride a Harley.

Yes, it's our group's shirt, and no, not really too hot, don't spend too much time in the sun if we can avoid it :H

These pics are from a previous ride.

I do prefer the front! :p

I hesitate to ask, but "FIFO"? Fly-in, Fly-out??
