Saturday morning woke in low cloud or was it fog, my roommate Grumpy aka John  who arrived yeSTy with Daveinabus aka Dave, made the firST coffee and handed it to me,, alas my brain to hand co-ordination hadnt got it together and no morning meds yet, I waSTed a full mug to the floor  :fp ..then off to a yummy BBQ breakfaST, a great STart for the morning, and an EXTRA SHOT coffee from the van :thumb after which we gathered for the mornings Ride briefing , an explanation of corner marking, and some local info on rail X-ing,etc  :thumbsup sorry no pics yet..
We all lined up waiting to head off on the 2015 National Rally Ride, R out the gate then L at weST ST, simple.. well not so for someone who shall remain SHAMELESS ,3 bikes ahead moved up to corner ,then leader  STopped to lQQK , 2nd rider,,,  :eek >:() :fp didnt STop  :||||  :fp  oops. any way we all headed out to Nobby's pub smoko. It muST have lQQked really cool for the locals out along the ride seeing so many ST's in procession, over 2 k's long I believe, and the ride itself was fun a good pace and the opportunity to  let STranger STetch his  legs,  :law :whistle
at one point I could see about 1 1/2 k's ahead and thier was a continuous STream of STeeds.
Pulling up at Nobby's, the STreet was packed with all our bike's.. here's where the pics come in,,, :popcorn

after lunch the Rally Ride back to the Big4 was fun, I enjoyed riding in a large group without incident, the pace was good and again I took the opportunity to open up STranger,when gaps appeared andit was safe to do.
When we got back to base the swap meethappened briedly before the wind shut things down, I managed to get these STate flag pics
