Kawasaki Sportsbike Riders Club - Australia - Online Forum

Daryle Beattie and Kevin Macgee in the Qantas club at Melbourne airport after the world supers in 01/02?? Had a chat with them for a few minutes in the que to check in and then again in the lounge. Didn't talk bikes, talked girls and beer!

Had dinner with Wayne Gardner at the Isle of wight a few years back at the world supers.

Went to School with Jim Williams (former Wallaby and current Assistant Coach for the Wallabies) Except I always knew him as Wayne williams. His dad's name was Jim also, so his mum and thus all his school friends called him Wayne.

There's a few moe but I couldn't be fucked. Another night!

I was in the last ballot for National Service....luckily didn't get called up...this song always reminds me how luck I was.

FAMOUS...the best - Catriona Rowntree at a travel expo in Canberra. She asked me if I wanted her job which everyone apparently wanted...Said no just wanted to carry her bags...she gave me a signed autograph with "Persistence leads to success" but she lied, I never carried her bags and then the cheating bitch went and married some rich farmer...women...

Semi cracked on to Nicole Richi on the gold Coast without realising it was her... She was pregga's at the time and let me tell you looking fine.... Got a bit of harmless elivator flirting in and that was about the extent of it

Went to school with Adam Hills all the way from kindy to year 12.

Took Simon Evans for a ride in my rally car in 2005, the year before he became ARC champ for the first time.

i was in the local paper, front page, toted as the "Kurrajong heights Wiz" for my outstanding skill in gymkahna on my little 50cc. when i was 5

move over "Woolongong Wiz" Wayne Gardner.

now you're all almost famous for knowing me

Does 9 years as a music jurno/photographer count? I have met, interviewed, photographed and sometimes partied with many hard rock / metal stars from the 80s & 90s. But I'm not going to pull out 'that' picture again.

Someone has to say it

"pics or it didn't happen...."

I initially thought nope, haven't met any. Then I remembered being on stage with the Presidents of the United States and in the backstage rooms with Greenday. I also pressed Phil Jamieson from Grinspoon above my head and threw him back on stage etc back when I was working concerts. He thought it was awesome. I never really pay much attention to how famous people are though so I tend to forget about meeting them. There's plenty of footy players and other sports people I know too but I don't really think of them as being famous, until we go somewhere and people start staring. I can tell you that Michael Middleton can run like a spider with his crutches and his good prosthetic leg though. It's actually pretty cool to watch.

have meet hoffy on more tha one occassion

















but, seriously have been working as an air-chef for Qantas for almost 10 years, meet lot's of high profile people, the most impressive one was on a long nonstop flight between here and LA, Professor Julius Sumner Miller (yes guys, a cup and a half ) who was flying home with his wife. He was a student of Albert Einstein. What a mind, too busy if you asked me and had the impression, that having that vast knowledge was borderline scary certailnly worrying ,


On a lighter note, during my travels in Europe, in Saint Tropez I was almost run over by a compact car driven by Brigitte Bardot........she still looked OK (1979)

I have met, or worked with

Placebo
Tool
Hilltop Hoods
Martia Hinds
Eskimo Joe
Blink 182
The magnet mart guy
and a few others i either dont want to list, or cant remember

Not much for me -

Brett Lee
Andrew Symonds
Andrew Flintof
Anil Kumble
Lara Bingle
Pauline Hansen
Gina Jefferies
Tanyia Kernagian
Casey Chambers


That's about it for me.

I went to the AFL Legends game at Ethiad Stadium this year and later went to the AFL players after party as a guest of Glen Archer. We went with Damian Oliver, Mark Ricciuto, Scott Cummins, Rodney Hogg, Dennis Lillee.......not a bad list of associates.....

How am I going.......I know Brad Jones (Racing Car Driver, even have his personal mobile number), of course Megan Gale, Bob Skilton.....

errr meet the AND1 mixtape team back in 2005 i think, when they crashed the court @ merrylands (basketball)
Ian thorpe @ uni
John Aloise @ uni gym and some other Sydney FC dudes. who know who they are i sure don't follow them.
That's about it.

Met Rodney Rude, does that count.


There are a few photos deep in the KSRC archives of someone I met, cant remember now, some olympian.

Earlier this year I went for a ride with this guy called Marty.

I did not recognise him but he told me he was famous.

I think he was some kind of porn star.
