Hi team,

I was lucky enough to get my mug in the news with my local riding group here in the Darling Downs  :thumb

Streak founds another biker club!
And that one has 1000 members in just one year!
You're getting better at this every time you do it, mate.  Well done.
Black shirts with yellow highlight this time.  Neat.         :thumbs
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

That's a good write-up Streak, and a nice positive spin on motorcycling.  You're getting pretty good at setting up successful motorcycle clubs. :thumb

The paint job on that bike though...

the Esk Bakery must be dropping a lot of coin on sponsoring two rider groups

Frankies Raptor is pretty cool, i have never been game to ask what that cost...

this group is actually supported by a different cafe called the engine room cafe here in toowoomba, it is owned by riders, and they open specifically for DDR,  do a custom dinner menu every month, we get about 60 or 70 people come :)

we get monthly guest come along, last month we had creevy russell lawyers come along and talk about what to do in accidents, VLAD, and other things.

this month we have presentations by an LED lighting crew, and Earmould rep from Warwick
