Glad yer still kicking around.  It's been too long.

My trip to your hemisphere ends a couple weeks too early for me to catch the Aussie rally on the way home.  Since it appears I'm incapable of getting to 'Straya so far, maybe I need to see if I can make it to the WCR so that you guys only have to come 3/4 of the way to me.

Thanks for the reminder "K".
I was really looking forward to seeing you for the first time in Gunnison last year, but Lord Baldy was a great fill-in on your behalf.
I have already made arrangements to attend this years WCR, so I look forward to meeting you and having a few beers with you and the rest of the group.
I hope you have been back in the saddle regaining your endurance for some hard riding this year.
Take care, and be well!
Leon

I do remember 1st hearing about this thru a post by Harvy which. Is what bought me back to the dark side,  when I caught up with Klav I was shocked at the change & I decided then and there to ensure I tackled the WCR and boy what an experience, met  a lot of absolutely fantastic people and road with a lot of nutcases just like me and Klav.
What I'm trying to say is thanks Klav cause with out your insistence I probably wouldn't have done it, all I can say is look out this year we both will be terrorising you all!! :wacko3:
Hearing that both of you will be coming to the states this WCR I have already alerted the local ranchers and they will have all their live stock, daughters and sons relocated and safely away from the Convict Scum Assault of 2013 (CSA2013) that is imminent. Not to mention that TSA has also been alerted, I am just sure how effective that will be. You guys mike like their treatment too much and ask for more, which will annoy them and shoo you off to other convict activities....
Monkey you be very careful otherwise there will be no "timtams or vegimite" for you :lol: and we both know you will be in serious trouble from the wife  :mocking: :rofl2:

Baldy, don't take the all the fun out of it.... But it would spell disaster if we have to pay the high price of the retail Vegemite. 10 kilos and mums the word.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Is that a abdominal aortic aneurysm? So happy your with us! Been involved in a lot of these type of situations where it didn't end as well.

Very good to still have you around k-man.  You are one tough individual and what you went through would have killed just about anyone else.  Even though you're rather backwards being an Aussie and all, living there and working in PNG, Northern Territories, etc makes you much more resistant to just about everything. 

Looking forward to seeing ya at the rally this year.  With you and Baldy running around it will be an interesting time for sure.  :)  I'll be sure not to leave my camera lying around.. who knows what else you'd snap pictures of this time..

A year already, wow. Caught up with Klav for the first time in ages at our Manshed day recently, he looked good, (errrrr), and apart from a few squiggly lines hidden under his shirt, he was the same Klav we all know and love. (Errrrrr again!)
