I really think I did some thing to upset the cranky looking bloke on the kwaka.  He was sitting there shaking his head.  I wonder if he objected to something I did when I went past him?  I must've done something naughty, but I have no idea and I don't give a flying fig.


Staring competition.


I enjoy this rally.  Not because it's a greatride or anything, fact is it's just along the bumps and semi rural roads around Windsor.  Lots of traffic, intersections, speed limits, houses etc.  I suggested they just have the route to Bulga & back, or up the Bell's Rd (Are we sure it's not originally names the 'Line of Bells Rd'?).  That falls flat.

The rally is nice 'cause I get to catch up with a few people and it's just a pleasant weekend.  We loaded the XS onto the trailer & towed it up.  Stayed at the Racecourse Motel, Clarendon - very quiet as the races aren't on.

cheers

I thought thissecond one, re-composed after I took the above, would look better - having some foreground.  But I'm not so sure.







Just because it fills the frame better doesn't mean it is better.






Pete had the 350 out on Sunday morning.  He was lead.

The opposition leader wants a grey lambs wool baby 'blanket' that we've had since the boys were babies made into a seat cover.  And the blue cover for her back rest (it's my camp pillow too) has to change colour as well.

Did I get the tank badges on in the correct spot? 
Second attempt.  First time was a shocker - I had to VERY carefully cut them off, remove the double sided tape & go again.   I looked at it (procrastinated) for a couple of months worried that I'd stuff it again.
