Unaugural 8.0 - 3 month warning

The date will be Saturday 8 May 2010. For those who complained about
the full moon obscuring the stars last year, this date is 2 days after
the moon's last quarter[1]. Please mark your calendars.

Given the number of aus.motorcycles people who have colonised
aus.bicycle (Zebee, Theo, Me, Lemmiwinks, Tex, Moike, Tim +anyone else
I've forgotten), and the fact that I've done about the same number of
km aboard a bicycle this year as on a motorcycle, it seems only fair
to invite the aus.bicycle people along as well.

In short, the Unaugural is an annual gathering of aus.moto people in a
paddock on my farmlet near Tarago, NSW. Weather permitting, we have a
bonfire of sufficient size to provide a reasonable simulation of
Armageddon. There is overnight camping, awards for various
achievements (such as longest distance travelled to attend), and much
drinking of alcohol and telling of lies.

Think of it as the best parts of fishing, once one gets rid of all the
useless folderol of lines, hooks, boats, bait and water. (And fish).

Here are some photos from the most recent events:

Hoping to see some familiar faces, and some new ones, in 2010!

[1] Which means that moonrise will be at about 1am on Sunday morning,
giving you pleanty of time for stargazing[2]
[2] I might even bring a telescope.

Damn I'd like to get to that. Someone find me some work and I'll get
there . . . somehow.

 

its real not worth it.. I mean you have to put up with me and Nev!


but you get to watch this

(new bike for this year)

 

OK the calendar has been marked ... the wife has given prior
permission [1] and there is nothing that's going to stand in my way
[2] I remmember seeing some archery happening last year, would love to
have a go at that [3] [4]


[1] A few weeks after the last one that she "asked" me to pike, due
some pregnancy hoohaa
[2] If I can reduce the amount of motorcycle riding stopping
medications,
[3] Is anyone going to trust an ex-military person with only one good
eye, which happens to not be his non-natural aiming eye?
[4] I know my footnotes are bigger than my actual main reply, but BT
started it.

For me that would be 777 km, 9 hours via Hume Fwy and Hume Hwy out
and
779 km, 10 hours via Princes Hwy and Monaro Hwy back.

I nearly went last time... but that's a long day riding an a
relatively small sports bike. Still very tempting...

That is the reason BTH is thinking to take a telescope
So that he can spot you coming from afar.

 

No it's not. 1275km in a day on a GPX250 is a long day riding on a
relatively small sports bike.

600km in a day on a CT90 wasn't too shabby, either (Mildura->Temora).

(Although now that I'm barely doing 2500km per year by motorcycle my
"match fitness" isn't up to that kind of thing any more)

Relative to a Rocket III, its a small bike,

Seriously, tho, BTH, I have two questions.

1. Would I be welcome.

2. What are the toilet facilities like? [1]

[1] The basic requirements of drinking alcohol and telling lies, I can
manage, but, to be perfectly honest, with the passage of time, the
quantity of alcohol drunk has diminished, and the resultant requirements
of <ahem> disposing of excess liquid has increased. <sigh>

BTW, no I won't arrive on Z50, with Angie's car parked half a kilometre
up the road.

 

What's your problem? I can see it quite clearly - start at Vancouver and
head due east for about 1300 miles, then wiggle through some foresty bit,
then down the middle of a couple of huge lakes, then through some place
called Detroit, and so on, and so forth.

Strange that the back journey appears to be the same route, but.

 

By those maps, you would get the farthest travelled

 

But how do you end up at unaugural

 

A very nice long-drop dunny, located above a hole freshly-dug for the
occasion.

I can put a vase of flowers in next to the throne too, if you
like.

All I can say is that Pisshead seems to have managed OK for his past
few attendances.

Perish the thought - I'd hope that you'd at least ride the 16km from
Tarago!

Heh heh heh! I still like this one best:

I'm sort of tempted to ride the scooter there (but either me or it would
probably die from stress on the way... more likely me!)


G-S

 

burn her...burn her!!!

Let's both try for a more flattering shot this year, bwahahaha!

betty

 

We won't be able to test if she floats on water - the dam's gone
dry. :-(

Three months, might fill again.
