Evening, just checking in. Not heading your way Pete, not on the way up anyways.. I've had to give Gippsland the chop.

Tue - Markwood (that's near Wangarratta) via Mansfield and Whitfield - my favourite.
Wed -Oberon via Goulburn - boring getting to Goulburn but needs must
Thu - Bellingen via Bylong Valley Rd and Waterfall Way (yes Doug same digs),
Fri - Warwick via Grafton and Glen Innes
Sat - Yamanto - staying at Chermside (near the RSL)
Sun - Canungra - visiting a very old friend and his family.
Mon - South
Tues - Further South

See you Saturday.....

I probably will scream like a bitch,

And i trust doug but he better not go to bloody stupid.

No worries ken, the chair has a hose out floor!

I have developed a number of strategic communications and procedures regarding first time chair riders. (My job these days is as a facilitator for risk assessment and hazard identification.)

For example, when Timbo`s Faye came for a ride I gave her the spiel about tapping my left leg if she`d prefer I went slower or that she was uncomfortable in any way (following her request to demonstrate some capabilities). I then drove leisurely to the nearest Macdonald`s drive thru (this takes awhile usually, but good fun....chair holstered, on board water pistols are kept concealed depending on how cheeky the staff are)....on leaving I handed her my capped, large takeaway vanilla Latte to hold on to.
(by this time I had worked out she was definitely right handed!) Heeeehehe!  :diablo:

Now to work out a strategy for ball protection from the expert!       :drinks:

Yeah mate, all organised now, I`ll meet you at the Ettamogah pub at whatever time you like.
Looks like 2 bags of cement will be my passenger unless someone wants the experience of a lifetime?   

How's 7:30 at the servo?
I'll fuel up there.

Hello Tony, I'll have my brother  Shane with me on Saturday as well. He will be driving up in the car ( or I might let him ride my bike, Naaah he can take the car)

I said it would be good for him to meet a few of the crew, watch some maintenance etc  :good2:

No worries Ray, I had a rough head count and looks like it could be around 15 people. 2kg chicken wings and 2 kg snags ( not sure what flavour yet) plus nibblies should keep the wolves at bay. If I've still got to use a chair and whip to fend them off, I'll throw some dim sims and spring rolls at em. :biggrin:

Troyskie !

You don't need a Man Shed day. You need a ride, after all the work you've put in.

October/November is the time for the annual Mapleton Muster.

A little something from last year to wet your  appetite
