5 weeks with Barry
« on: August 06, 2014, 12:16:24 PM »
Mornin' All...

Rather than waste time rubbing the letters off my keyboard, thought over the next few posts on this thread I would leave it too a few pics or 3 from the various rides with Barry and Marissa, et al...


Just another 'warm' sunny Sunday somewhere back of the Gold Coast


"Right Dick, that take-off was quite good...but perhaps not best to try and overtake the tug below 500ft seeing this is your first lesson!"


Well that's one myth the 'Busters' wont need to tackle...can see both ends of the sodding thing...and still no pot-O-gold :'(


Couple of captions come to mind here...but perhaps the politest is...a seventies attempt at a selfie :wink1


It's true! Ya really can fire a gun down the main street of an outback Qld town before 1100 in the morning n not hit anything...Good thing the Victorians are already at work...Hey!


Once upon a time my 1st grade classroom was immediately behind the bike, just out of shot...yep had to walk too and from school from day 1!
At age 5!...
Miles it was, miles I say!...
From where?
Where?

...Oh that house at the bottom of the street :p



We reckon signs are overused in Oz...don't you!


One day photobucket will get round to putting this pic the right way up...Aargh!...that's better, a vertical Baz, at dusk, outside the Emu Park pub


For those of you that got up early, made lots of noise to have brekkie...then buggered off immidiately after this pic was taken into that cold and wet  fog bank rolling in...Good! ;-*


Baz said..."OK from here we follow that good bit of bitumen ya see to the left into Biloela, OK!"...1.2km latter, we reached the Callide dam boat ramp :well ...34km latter we reached Biloela :||||


Paul, not sure we're meant to park here...Paul, not sure we're meant to park here...Paul,  I said I'm not sure we're meant to park here...Oh sod it!


Wot blokes with a beards looks like to Baz through not thick enough schnapps goggles...either that or he fancies Hils feet

...more to follow, when I have a little more tome to waste :wink1

Ciao, the can :-)

Part 2 of the diatribeless 5 weeks in the Sunshine state...


Right then...one of these Guys is a dinky die, true blue Queenslander...bet ya can't guess which one it is? :crazy


I woz told if I road 'round long enough, I'd find a deep dark warm and moist hole that wasn't too tight to ride on into....


...They were right WOW:


Bloomin' cold Baz...wish he'd just take the flamin' pic...coz the only things that are a deeper shade of blue than these bikes in front of us are... :wink1


This is the only pub in Oz where ya have to stand 2' to the left of the shower head to get wet! Either that, or place a piece of 4"x4" under ya right foot :eek
...any re-stumpers out there?


"why we stopped here Paul?...were the hell is Baz?" ... "Oh the wide open vista, Right!" :well


..."No I apologies I got that completely wrong...twas Us he was wanting to take a piccy of" >:()


CAPTIONS INVITED ;-*

I woz last here in 1961...Oddly the vista had changes a tad...funny that!


At this point Hugo began to realise that he's plan of dumping his lovers dismembered body into the ocean whilst traveling to Straddy was beginning to come unravelled...


...as was his plans of skinny dipping in a secluded spot with his lover...bugger :-[


Mind U, the ambience here was OK, wouldn't ya's agree


Weeeeeee!!!!!!


I have absolutely no flamin' idea where this is, why I took this pic, or why I posted it!...Oh, I remember, NO CLOUDS n warm(ish) sunshine!!!!


'The Well Swung Daddies' at Byron with Ozstoc member, Laurie...He's the bald bloke blowing something ;-*

While I woz in the Sunshine state, a Mate sent me this pic from home...twas so cold he had to pre-warm the logs before they would burn :eek
