Nov 2002....Beef ‘n Reef #1
Time for another "Big 'Un"
A week of Vic Alps and Snowies
Once more the Melbourne Cup-Week played host, this time for the Beef ‘n Reef.
Word had REALLY started to spread and Tim from Hobart was the first ever interstater at the start, bringing his Pegaso from Hobart.
Together with Garry and I, things were pointing to a showdown of which was the hottest Peg on the block. In the tight stuff, those things ROCK!!
Mine blew the whistle on the first day at the start of the Licola Rd. with a blown head-gasket, something the Pegs were well known for.
Had to crawl home, throw the pack onto the B12 and catch up with the mob in Dargo.
The week produced anything from a bare-arsed Tassie dolphin at Cape Conran
to magic twisties of Gippsland’s backblocks...
...to wetting ourselves in Mallacoota....
...a trip on the Titanic......
....some serious honking on the backroads around Canberra, Batemans Bay, Tathra, Bega...
....enhanced by a “video-presentation” at Cotter Dam Pub (while it existed)...
...to laughs ‘til it hurt at Jindabyne CP.
Some climbed Mt. Kosciousco
....while others got the pizza...
...or tried to throw the Pegasos down the mountain side before joining a costume ball.
Some lost a little rubber
...while others just burned past Blue Duck, Hotham and Mt. Buffalo.
And some loonies did it all on screaming, howling, 12.0000rpm 250s...
12.000 rpm ...all....day....long!!! Day...after....day...after...day!
A decade on.... and they’re still legends.
The full yarn with ~ 100 pics
