Yep, been Gingers since forever. I remember the the old Roadhouse, (shack with fuel pumps, and a real greasy spoon kitchen). Used to pop down from the RAAF base for a late night feed, there was no Bullsbrook back then (except for the Pub)

This memorial ride will always be held in September but not on a Fathers Day weekend out of respect for Willow's wishes.
A head count on the day had 42 riders and pillions in attendance and I have a count of 17Wrong  24 IBA rides under certification thanks to Toura's great effort.
