You Just Never know you you run into
« on: November 28, 2013, 09:31:22 AM »
It's funny who you run into when your out and about......Here I am with the Queensland Premier Campbell Newman, who I saw this week  :thumb



Had a quick chat with him, explained who i was, and about the club, he was quite good to talk to, and more than happy to have a photo.

And thus no one posts anything... hahaha

Ok I'll ask...

What did he have to say when you told him who you were (did he roll his eyes, as I imagine he'd be getting approached alot by bike associations)

no he was actually quite good, said i run a touring motorcycle club, he was quite responsive, didn't take a step back or anything, asked me how it was going, said strength to strength, explained what we do, was only talking to him for a minute or 2.

Asked if it was ok to get a photo, and that i would be posting it up on our website, he said "more than happy to", shook hands and off I went.

Yeah I wouldn't have expected some great debate at an event like that, At least you got to talk to him...and he didn't recoil at the mention of OZSTOC

well done

Our Premier is renowned for being short changed in the altitude stakes.
Bit like a bull terrier, I guess.
