Give him a bell and tell him to get his drunk ass back on the site, tell him I said so!
I was talking to him heaps when I was back in Oz last, looking at finally meeting him in person in September to ride the mega loop with him & the boys, hopefully Ill be on his fabled 69er
Cheers guys, its good to be on board

We'll be seein ya on the 26th of Sept. Scotty. Loop starts from Uncle Bennys on beautiful Fife Lake the 29th, and if all goes well, we'll be finished on the 2nd of Oct.
And of course, you'll be riding the completely reconditioned niner. Finally rode my totally re done '01 about 10 days ago. Check it out on my Facebook, I gotta couple camera phone pics that came out pretty good.
Sorry I aint been around much fellas. 7 days a week, 12+ hours a day, dont really feel like doin much other than playin my Gibson SG Standard and burn Durban Poison.
O well, at least I got some cheese comin in

Roosty...we've gotta run a 500 2-3 day ride

...god knows we've got the country to do it, & no hastels from the fuzz to worry about, only problem is we cant swim after a hard ride due to the snap'n hand bags

...some of those bilabongs are very inviting.
Your thoughts....

Righto Im keen to get the ball rolling, & you got the gift of the gab to make it happen mate, when I get home lets get some lads together for a yak, make some fair dinkum plans
To start with -
Theres you
me,
Deni,
Deni's mate that bought his 98 from him
the dude I sold my black framed 01 steely,
this bloke thats mates with the previous owner of my new 01 steely (he has a 01 steely too),
and Im sure you could wrangle up a few more strays, maybe a NT news advert???
Best bit is when I do the Michigan MEGA mile later this year Ill be able to hold it to my great mate Bigpower to owe me a return visit, & get him down under next year for some good ole Aussie hospitality.
Mate I might even be able to get Tiktakboom over from France for a blast with us, Im converting him, got him into the OP bundy today in the Sahara (smuggled it in), poor bugger reckons he was fucked from drinking Aussie petrol
Asteroid, I want to run that DG silencer on my new steely, still got it???

I dont have a DG,
iv'e got that 4' foot long DEP that didnt line up with anything on our AF's remember & i sent the chanber back to NT motorcycle center as it was nickel plated & i wanted the Worx's style for ease of repaire, needless to say it took 9 (yes-nine) months to get to me from the time i ordered it.
Pipe / 92-93
Great quality, but furk if it aint long.....so does size realy matter!!!!!
