Northern Duster_Aus Day W/E 27+28 overnighter photos and lies

Who needs too go on rides when there are such great ride reports and pics to ogle at?
Almost...just bloody almost as good as being there, but only almost!

Well done fellas.

Spock. I think you've paid your dues son! No longer a 'new' dirt rider anymore!
Welcome to the dark side mate.

Good comment, Cam
Vivek got his initiation this weekend :devil:. Don't think he fits the category "new to dirt" anymore.
What does everybody else think?
When do you stop being a newbie? Do you know? Does it happen suddenly, or slowly? How does one KNOW??

More photos of an awesome weekend. Some stream crossing video will be posted as soon as I get the bloody things hosted.

Crap, not this shot again....

Photo stop.

Dave on the Supertanker.

Victoria's ablaze, very hazy from the summit.

Some more premo back road touring.

Sir Francis on the Tiger.


Great weather, great company and a ripper of a trip. Leaving home on Sunday morning was a wet affair. It was cool and slippery. Didn't think it would turn out to be so damn hot!
Thanks to all concerned. I never know if it's the rough roads, or the laughing that make the kidneys so sore, or maybe it's something else..:scull:
Cheers Doug

Doug, Fuzz...this is one fabulous stack of shots!!

More from this corner tomorrow.

Some pics from my phone.

Ah well......Euroa and full moon bring up some spooky stuff.








The Boho fires hadn't caught up with us (after skirting them just after they'd started, by the looks of it) and still everyone was up by 6.30.

Treasures...BIN-ney?



Binney St, the commercial center, in all its early morning frenzy...I love country towns!!
The bakery's open, the pies just out of the oven...



Not far out of town
