Bump,

Weasel, from memory last year it cost around $25.00ish.

Top day out,  only a fortnight away.

Coming off nightshift that morning but hey why not, I'm in.

I can't make this ride guys, i'd forgotten I have to take my wife to the airport, spewin'.

Haha so its a wild night with booze and loose women at Hootin's house after the poker run??!!

I offered to drop the missus off at the airport on my bike and meet up with you guys at the start of the run, she didn't think it was a good idea carrying a suitcase on the back of the bike, " it's got wheels " I said " just drag it along the road beside you, it's only 45 k's to the airport". Wouldn't be in it, no sense of adventure that woman.   Hope it's a great day.  Don't forget the camera Maples.

Plenty of pics cos I'll leave the camera on the seat the night before. Expect to see pics of choppers, pics of blingsters, and maybe even a pic of Shovel's air-fouler (coin slot) in action on the road

Nice ride there Ozroder, going wireless is a great look.

I have a red 1200 sportster per my avatar, I also have a Canuck flag on my lid.  Shovel has a military painted shovelhead (is it a '71?).  Hootin' has a taxi light on his bike with him playing airport cabbie to the airport   Shovel and I are clean shaven good looking men, no Harley beards - and are too young for the Ulysses club by far.

Be great to meet up and have maybe have a cold fizzy drink with you.

Thinking of meeting @ Klubhouse @ 9:30, head off by 9:45ish, should be around an hour to get to Thomastown, Will be worth topping up on juice close to there - may end up covering a few K's at a swift pace. Should end up there an hour before the run starts, plenty of bikes to look at, people to chat to etc.

Hey, Mapleleafs, you still keen to be roadcaptain?

I ordered a 'Road Captain' neon sign. So here's my non-negotiable rules:

The Road Captain (RC) is the ride leader. The RC plans the route and controls the run to assure the safe and pleasurable passage of everyone. The RC stays in the front position and controls the pace and tone of the ride. The RC will plan rest and gas stops, but YOU should arrive with a full tank and an empty bladder. YOU are responsible for your own warmth, dryness and personal comfort and are expected to have your machine in a state of good repair and readiness.

The Sweep Rider remains at the rear of the group. The Sweeper assures that no one gets stranded on the road and tries to maintain the "wholeness" of the group. The group is in effect sandwiched between the RC and Sweeper. The Sweep will signal blockers to rejoin the ride and provides a consistent "last person". Should you decide to leave the group, it is best to signal with an OK sign and goodbye wave.

Blockers assist in getting the band through intersections safely, quickly, and efficiently. While technically illegal, blocking also eases the effect of the passage on traffic in general. It also helps to avert any rider or riders from making a risky choice rather than chance being separated from the rest. Blockers, when directed to a position by the RC, should activate their flashers just prior to pulling out of formation. The flashers should be shut off after rejoining just ahead of the sweeper. While blocking it is wise to remain in gear and ready to move should another vehicle ignore the request to wait A "stop" hand signal is suggested while blocking and is most easily accomplished by the passenger if present. A "thank you" signal by blockers and sweeper as well is a nice touch and usually appreciated. Since a blocker assumes the responsibility of holding up traffic, plus a remote possibility of a traffic violation, it is of course voluntary.

The normal and proper formation is two-wide but in a staggered position. Save the side-by-side stuff for when you are profiling with Peter Fonda.


Sweepers and blockers and slinkies and all sorts of bullshit. Seriously. How about we ride there carefully and in a way that is fun for us all. Given that I'm more concerned about how half these patched chaps are gonna be riding during the main event anyway.

Shovel, you are to take these HOG rules to the patched boys and insist they be followed at all times, otherwise big trouble. I'm RC and pulling rank for you to go do that. There's a good lad. Should only take a few minutes. Thanks.

MMMMMM I might meet yas there hey, HeHeHeMMMM
Road captain what the
Are ya gona tuck the jeans into the boots so i can spot yas
cheers
weasel

Any resistance and non-compliance with the non-negotiable HOG rules will see Shovelhead ripping the rockers off their patch club vests and jackets as a punishment.

Shovelhead the enforcer. EnforcerAnother new HOG term and wanky title that needs to be adopted hahaha, fits well with blockers, slinkies and sweepers! Aye aye Road Cap'n.

If I don't wear my steel caps, I might don the actual m'cycle boots to stick the pants inside them, weasel. Gotta love that German army look.
