    I have advised the pub that between 5 and 100 people will be arriving sometime the 5th of december 

    Current meet points are BP Noranda at 7.30am and BP Williams at 10am.

    If there is interest from anyone south of Perth we can swing through the BP on Albany highway in Armadale on the way thru about 8am.

    cheers

    I am going to be in Albany that weekend for a prior commitment so can't do this 1.

    Have a good ride people and be safe.

    Return safely Surly.

    We had a great ride all went well along the way.

    Mal and Natalie at the hopetoun pub looked after us with cold beers and good food.

    I carry on east today and the others do their own things.

    Pics and stories when I get more time or they get home.

    Cheers

    Good weekends riding.....Bloody hot to start with but as we neared Ravensthorpe it cooled down dramatically....

    I got Surly out of bed real early this morning, about fiveish, practice for those 1000k days...

    On the way home I was toodeling along between Bodington and Dwellingup when I see a bike roaring up behind a car coming towards me, I gave a llittle more room and the bike without hestitation blasted past, I thought shit that's the sort of thing Stix would do, acouple of minutes later the same bike pulls alongside and sure enough The tassy devil himself......Had a couple of coldies at the Dwellingup.....

    Got home and sort of looked over the bike as ya do after a long ride and noticed oil spots/streaks on the rear wheel belt side....Seems that the final drive pulley oil seal to the primary case has shit itself I hope that's not a forerunner for more probs there....

    Hey Bt good to catch up with you at Williams on Sat.  I see you got turned around on the Williams - Quindanning rd on sunday as well, dunno what happened there, some sort of accident I guess.

    Will try and catch up for a ride in the near future.

     Surly, have a safe trip there and back mate, was good to see you too.

    Got back from the Hopetoun ride this morning.

    It was great yesterday morning finding that the screens on all four bikes had been cleaned by Mal who owns the pub, thanks Mal, the clean screens were appreciated.

    Surly, Don and myself headed towards Esperance yesterday at a sparrows while Bobtail stayed in the district to catch up with some family rellies.

    Surly took the Gibson turnoff just out of Esperance while Don and myself made a quick visit to the beach at Esperance to scatter the ashes of his son before heading north towards Norseman. The hail stones between Norseman and Coolgardie were a welcome relief from the 40c + heat and we partied at Southern Cross last night.

    Did some claims for you at the live gig in SX last night Surly.....

    A good time was had by all

    Thanks for ya company on the ride Graham and Don.....My plan for next year is to do a two nite run there and have a good look at countryside......

    Yeah we had about a hundred bikes on the Albany Xmas pagant and about 80 of those where from the metro area.  We had a bloody good time at $3 a can and the same for me red wine

    Shit Bt we did a 2 night run last time as I recall, you better slow down if ya want to see the country side and smell the roses
