Post by: ken65 on July 20, 2014, 05:42:56 PM
Great show again, bikes for every ones taste  .
Had a good look in the car park and tracked down 4 x FJ's , all 1200's, was looking for the stolen
1100, a long shot, you never know. Any one else get there? here's a few pics.

Looks like a great turn out Ken.
Did you enter a bike or two?

no bikes from me, would rather look at other bikes..  My main problem is i know every mark, rub, scratch, fault and as a result i dont hold them in high enough asteem.. anyway thats just me.

hey Richard,  the amount of bikes in the car park was staggering, walking around in the bike park was about as good as looking at the pampered show ponies,

Just a thought but it would be a cack to have an FJ stand. 

8 or 9 tidy examples would look  sweet.   just need one of those big tent looking things and a banner..

It's a good day alright. I find it almost a visual overload at times. 
Lots of harley riders turn up dressed like the village people but that's cool.
A lot of bikes in the car park wouldn't look out of place in the show.

Wow lots happening on the same day, I was busy out at Queensland Raceway enjoying some of Henry's finest. One thing in common with the photos is shit we need rain around these parts.

No ken I didn't know there was a car show at Morayfield each month... I do now!
Yeah I am a blue oval supporter as well. It was a sad day when they announced Ford shutting manufacturing in Australia. We all can't work in the mining industry. Getting a little of topic so here is a photo of my pink striper.

wow, nice car and nice bike, the show at morayfield will blow you away the 1st time you go there.

Sure is a sad time with the ford plant closing down . I suppose everybody needing $33 an hour to get by doesnt help.

My brother had one of them but a GS model, it was a great car and now worth a lot of money. The dickhead swapped it for a Sigma wagon with a burnt out exhaust valve. :wacko1: :crazy:
