Going by the bikes in front of the old store in Princetown....Jason’s Blue Viffer on the right.... no idea, who’s that naked Bandit (250?) is...Al’s “Amelia”, the old, red CX, and he rode that bucket like an R1...Sasha’s ZZR and MickG’s “Handbag”...Suzie’s blue ZR7 and Paul’s TL behind that...
There was Garry on the Peg, Sarah on the Zeal, Latte-Dave on the Cibber6 of course...and myself on the XT6....possibly others.

I had been up near Roxby Downs in SA and I met you guys on my return trip for the evening's entertainment in Halls Gap and the ride back to Melbourne. That was the ride when Paul (Drizzt) had worked the friday nightshift and just tagged along for the first hour/two hours/till lunchtime/all the way and got to Halls Gap with no spare clothes apart from the leathers he was wearing so he went to the shop across from the caravan park and bought a pair of short. Who can forget him walking up the road to the pub that night wearing leather jacket, bike boots and shorts !!

I forget his name but he was riding a Zeal too. I took a couple of pics

YES, YES!!! That's it!! Still see him in front of me walking down the main drag to the pub....the girl behind the counter did a triple-take, too.

Great to have some more pics around.....that's right, another Zeal. Wasn't that a naked-version, modernized FZR donk?
Those things went like stink.

the only person I can remember with a 250 bandit was a friend of Jason and Sarah's call Jen...

BTW, Jason and Sarah have moved to Qatar, Jason got a job there they and the 2 kids have upped and moved, good on them I reckon
