Hey Guys.

It's 6:30 am Monday morning Sydney time.Arrived home about half an hour ago  :hang1:.Couldn't manage to get around the freaky storm.Got caught on the open road without wet weather gear about 30Min's after Ray & I parted company,hit with hail,bucket size rain drops,and blown all over the shop  :dash2:.Eventually found refuge with a triumph rider at a little petrol station at the lions road turn off.He advised me not to go that way as the spillways were overflowing.The storm got me again just after Kyogle.Roads were flooding and I couldn't see shit, so again had to find refuge for an hour. :dash2:.Then it was spitting rain & fog all the way back to Sydney. :dash1: I might be pissed off If I hadn't of met a bunch of interesting ,fun cool people and had a blast on the rally :yahoo:!.Thanks everyone  :good:.I think I managed about 2700km all up.Anyway,more later...I'm off to have a HOT shower,pull some magnets out of me butt and crash out for a while :crazy:

Cheers :drinks:

Yep, what everyone else is saying. Doug & Harvy did a great job organizing the weekend and the rides. Thanks Doug for tbe use of your bike, even though you had it rigged to drop the shifter.  Also great to finally be able to put faces to names of guys I've known online for years.
Cheers,
Arnie

Thanks for the organization Doug and was good to catch up. Although I missed the group ride I had a great trip up on the hinterland roads. Great night with like minded riders and a good breaky too.

Needed to do this sort of thing 2 or 3 times a year?

I'm now off to buy a drum......... :sarcastic:

Cheers..
Yeah, ya did get the Claytons award this year but ya got some points up for the leadership award (harvy won it) when ya decided ta stick around the fire till (almost) stumps - (bet it wasn`t just the spa that went cold). :rofl2:  
Given that it`s near the Gold Coast next year, we should wait till mid mid winter for a Rally Research trip.....You know, ...sometime when it`s really really cold.... like maybe 18 deg C.  :sarcastic: (what`s seppo for that???  :scratch_one-s_head: 9/5 +32??) You set the date and I`ll be there. :yahoo:

Holy shiit Jeff, I`m gunna have ta make an exec decision and review awards documented on Saturday evening. :mail1: The Iron butt award was a tie between you and the pillion riders that endured 400klms ++ hold`n on to maniacs  :diablo: that seemed to snap at the site of smooth forested twisties. You lost points for not fuelin up at somewhere near midnite friday when ya merged from the dirt tracks the GPS had sent ya down. ......Hmmmm. now lets see thats 15hrs in tha saddle friday, less 1000pts for no fuel at tha start  :bad: + 4 or 5hrs Saturday + 18hrs Sunday + ya didn`t stay in a spa room  + no whimpy excuses like induced Coma or somethin............... Yep, ...on a recount you`ve scraped in for the inaugral FJ Downunder Rally Iron Butt award - Congratulations Mate (...oh yeah...it`s customery to bring ya award to the next Rally for up and coming challengers. :sarcastic:)

Well done blokes, sounds like everyone had a great time with some top effort long distances put in.
There is another Aussie Rally planned, this ones a little later in the year down near Dorrigo.
A mate of mine has a couple hundred acres on the Grafton/Nymboida/Armidale road and he's been at me to organise a Rally there.
This will be a combined Rally, not just an FJ one.
Combined as in blokes from other lists with other types of bikes, dunno if there would be any Cruisers but.
These other blokes like to ride.
Dog Breath knows a couple of the blokes (Thommo et al) that would probably turn up.
This one would be more of a bring your swag type of deal, there's showers and a big shed to sleep in but it's the blokes house, not an accommodation place.
I had spoken to him (JAF) about a mob staying at the Coachman Inn at Nymboida but he won't have a bar of it.
Wants us to stay there.
We'd organise a band, pig on a spit, couple kegs etc, there's good runs up and down Waterfall Way and of course the Grafton/Nymboida Rd itself.
Fuck all cops there and we've got a pretty good intel service anyway.
I'm inclined to have it in, oh, June/July.
It's cold there at night but beaut , clear crisp days.
Whaddya reckon?


Here's a pic of my guts, it's why I didn't go to the rally.

Don't look if you're a squeamish poove.

And yea I actually get paid for it. about 150 and hour.

Far out Klav, don't worry. A bit of Aloe Vera will fix that right up.
Seriously, that is a fair bit of cutting that went on there, certainly no "key hole" techniques used. But at least they fixed you up, thats the main thing,  :drinks:

Rally in June, oh yeaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
