I’m a late cancellation, bike won’t start so I’m accepting the message from the universe that I’m meant to stay home and keep unpacking.
See you all at the next one

Home at 4:00pm, a bit warm and uncomfortable on the bike, but any time on the motorbike is better than couch time.

Good numbers, too many for me to count or remember names, a few pics taken by others, you'll get the idea when they're posted.  A nice litte pub has got bigger, but chicken parma was a bit ordinary with chips that would have been nice yesterday.

Thanks to the organising committee.

This is where I would normally say see you at Bonnie Doone, but I as I'll be riding tassie for two to three week, I won't be there, so hopefully the May RTE.

Cheers .......

Cheers,  Williamson (AKA Michael)

Great morning ride up to Blackwood. Got warm from Ballan to Geelong. Thanks for everyone coming was great to catch up especially the people who missed the rally.

I may or may not have dropped my bike in the Garage. 🙋‍♂️

Just got in from a great day out. I thought I set my ride home the same as there, but that obviously was`nt meant to be.
Turned out of Trentham, what I thought was Woodend, and ended up in Mt Macedon.Up one side and down the next, never been there, so an adventure, so to speak.
 Anyway, not to worry, big turnout, food was ok, they were really popular today. Nice to catch up with the crew. Always a great gathering.

On to the next one. :Like:

Today was perfect bike weather and of course, Sue & I travelled by car! :||||

It was great to have such a good turn out for this RTE (17), especially with the price of fuel at the moment.
So, a big thankyou to everyone for making the effort to attend in these trying times.  :clap

While I'm thanking people I'd also like to thank Michael for his lovely speech when he presented the "member of the Year award to me...
Thankyou and thanks everyone for your congratulations etc!




















On the way home I decided to stop off at Diggers Rest to pay my respects to Billy Thorpe...
