Feel free to add, or correct.


L to R

The one behind Don (with the specs) is Eugene from....?? Newcastle, I think,
650 Strom

The one to the left of Nev is Steve from Sydney, forum-nick HunterGatherer, 650 Strom and went along for the Fire'n Ice 2 ride in NZ.

The one sitting, to the right of Goodie, is Peter from BikeMart. He's an ex-cop, now living down the coast at Kilcunda or Cape Patterson or thereabouts. Still works mainly the Saturdays at BikeMart, also the odd day here and there.

To the left of Goodie isn't me....that's Tim. I think he was there with the DR....or one of the Gixx's ? Can't remember.

2011....Gippsland Day Ride

Late February

Another Gippy-Sunday and again Pete (Vtwin) led us through a maze of tiny Gippsland backroads, dirt and tar.

I can't find anything posted, but strangely got the pics sorted and ready to link on the server.

I'll pop a few more in here then.

Pete (Vtwin) and Tracey (canary)....Richard (K1W1) was there as well as Goodie, myself and Bernie (bjay), Steve (stevegt738) and Andrew (Hayesy) made it an all-Strom affair.

Where the hell was Doug?...he hadn't stuffed his back at the time yet, I think...

2011...National Strom Meet in Bright

Early March saw the Strommers Annual Bash in Bright.

A 3-day weekend looked after the time-slot, some great dirt and twisties after the key entertainment side of things.

Pete got adventurous, taking a dip in Bright....and squirted through the eye of a needle from 10ft away for the next few days.

...... was on the K8 gix ......

Yeah, I remember now ...... even the Mighty CB had trouble keeping up through some of the fast sections of the Middlingbank Road (at least I think it was) between Berridale and the SMH.

......I've dropped 25kgs since .....

Shyte! Will anyone recognise you?

2011...Trials Experience Ballarat

Can't remember how this one came up...but man, it was a heap of fun...FUN!!

A Sunday in mid-May....followed by a week of muscle-pain that wasn't funny and just stopped short of calling for help when trying to wipe the bum, Jeezaz!

Trent and Cass from Trails Experience in Ballarat turned on a screamer of a show....and heaps were learned!


MickG and Chris (5footnothing) had started the whole thing somehow....Andrew (Haysey), Nev, Rob from Mirboo (a86) and yours truly.

2011...Winter Gold

Mid-July....9 days

Melbourne to Rainbow Beach/ Qld via the backroads.
Then flying home...Fergusson Transport took care of the bikes.

A bit of a sentimental affair, as this was going to be last "Big 'Un" for the WTF1000...."The Dishrack" was waiting to get put on the road and take over.

And it wasn't just bikes...we rode a ferry across the Murray River

Discovered some (new to us) roads
