I suppose I'll have to amuse myself with Yummy and 'Big-Bore' at the dyno with Simon on my own some time (tough life I know  :sarcastic:)

Mate give us a yell when you're to "amuse" yourself at the dyno, I'll be down for the viewing (life is tough  :sarcastic:).
Have you dressed your girls yet?

Have you ever been to Nerriga Pub?, just asking as I might take a run down there one day for lunch.

.... I also need a name for 'Big-Bore'.....


I have a few suggestions ... :biggrin:

Nerriga pub, I'm local! No, not really, but yep fairly familiar with it. Some nice twisties just north as you head down into the river valley. If you're going to head out via Oallen Ford to Tarago enjoy the really messed up road. Better than dirt, but not by much (unless they've pulled the old Jet Paver out of retirement  :sarcastic:).

I'm up for a run down there. Not too far from my place. I just need to get the dresses for the girls back & then I can roll again.

Noel, I believe we can have an in-depth discussion about this.

Lukeymate, Hmmmmm, Pussy Galore, hmmmm. I might see if she has that in her....

Johno passed by today & had a good suggestion. Do we go for a ride on Saturday in lieu of a dyno run? The other option is to pretend to work on bikes whilst telling tall stories (hold my beer...), rip off a few scabs, flash up the fire pit, and do a rain dance for the cockies? If we ride then there are really two options, north past the pie shop, or south (he he via Nerriga) down the Clyde and back. North will be a bit under 4 hours, south about 6hr, 7 if we eat at Braidwood. I like beer, or heavy reds.....

Still trying hard to get there for Saturday only

So do them "heavy reds" include Port? Or a Brown Muscat.

I thought he meant that his FJ's were the "Heavy Reds". But port works well too.....you can keep the Brown Muscat. Although at $2.50 at bottle it is now in my price range.  :wacko3:

Gday Mr Troyskie. Short time, no see.
With no F3A comps in August, you can pencil me in for the weekend.
Hopefully Alan can make it on the Saturday so I will have a fellow FJ'er to keep me company on the ride down.
Looking forward to seeing you all.

Getting all excited about heading off for a ride next week and planning my trip to Troyskie's, one of my favourite rides, and just realised it's Winter!

With no detour if the road is impassable, only a massive backtrack, I think I will have to go coastal to make sure I get there.

See ya there boys.

I'm getting the shed, firepit, and accom ready (sorry the pool is closed  :sarcastic:).

Can I get a show of hands for Friday and Saturday sleepers please?

I've had some drama with getting my bikes ready. I might only have my sons' KLX, Pete's support car, or my ride-on, as the paint shop is finished prep but doesn't think they'll have much ready before the day  :dash2:. The bikes have been naked for a couple of months now & I'm getting edgy.

At least we can do the shims and have a look at the jetting on 'Big-Bore'  :crazy:.

Pete, doing well mate, second to last physio visit tomorrow for my shoulder not pelvis. I think I must have strained my drinking arm with the heavy reds  :good:.

Al, hmm port, that's an idea, but normally I mean wines (no! I'm not whining  :biggrin:)

Noel, very big backtrack if the road is closed. At least the coast is better than the Hume  :sarcastic:.

Daz, well it is windy August, so a good time to be wheels down mate. I look forward to catching up.

Mark, If Sparkles is up for a trip to the chilly south I'll get you a Brown Muscat  :rofl2:

Noel, let me know when you're heading this way. I might be able to meet you down south of here for a coffee.
   Troy,  Alf, Steve and I will be there on Friday. If Johno or Phil want to join us on the way up the coast, give me a call and we'll work out some details.
   See you in a week and a half.
   Regards, Pete.   :drinks:

Hey Troyski

Sparkles is up for the trip, unfortunaley I am not. Just a few too many commitments up here at the moment. Brown Muscate ( Or Brown Dog as dad called it) I am familiar with it. It was a favorite with dad and his mates when they went fishing with the square hooks ( nets) for mullet. Put the nets in. Consume a flagon or two of the dog then watch the fun as these very drunk guys tried to row a boat and pull nets in with fish flapping about.

I will get down to your end of the world one day soon and consume something a bit finer than the dog.
