2014_Spazzy Tassie....Lake Leake Forum Meet

Quote:

Maaaan, what a cracker of a fortnight it's been :glu:glu:glu


The "ghost of Hans" appearing anywhere and anytime....
dark brews around the campfire...
"Charley's Angels"....arse-up...
backroads to make you weep and vistas to drown the boots in drool....
sleeping Stroms are part of the "roadkill"....
2 weeks of incredible weather with a wet bum to crown it off....
laughs beyond the pain+tear-barrier....and then some!...
Stumping, little roads where they shouldn't be...
bliss and frustration in the Strahan SandBox
just add more, more and MORE!!!



Tassie '14...WHAT A FARKIN HOOOOT!!


After a long pause it was on again...and once more the forum-meet shifted to Tassie (check 2011 for the last one).
And they came!!
From as far away as Vienna

Another 2 weeks, concentrating on the South, stringing the best bits together along the way up and down.

What a HELL OF A BASH!!
Laughing tears around the campfire under starry skies at a Tassie bush pub...thrills and spills on beaches and endless twisties, stumping sights and awed silences at the side of the road...MAGIC ON 2 WHEELS V

2014_Funny Bunny Easter '14

Easter14_008.JPG



Despite the crappy forecast, Easter '14 turned into sweet 3-day cruise through the Victorian High Country.
Mt. Skene in the thick fog turned into King Valley vineyards in full autumn colours...

2014_PodMod_Day...a day on the tools

Early August, Melbourne winter...
and the best time to get some tech stuff done for the coming season.
Originally planned as a day-of-surgery for some Husky TR650 airbox mods,
it turned into a general day on the tools in the end.

Lots of laughs, lots of bull....
but got the job done in the end :bs
