Going down we went over McKillops Bridge

to stay at Buchen on Wednesday night, Thursday we went on the Grand Ridge road


All this to see these blokes




Going home we saw some awesome scenery


and while riding up this road

we saw a Koala run up a tree so stopped to get a photo! here it is about 2/3 up in the V

Sorry Gos! just for your old eyes ....

I also saw a lot of Cockatoos but I don't think this one saw me until it hit my chin bar at about 100km/hr (the white marks)

It was a GREAT Weekend! even if I did keep bumping into Madkaw!

Fark that's hardcore allright

Had ice and snow on gloves and jackets, visors etc. Thought about stopping for a pic but decided I couldn't get the camera out of the bag cause it was wet and cold and I had NO feeling in my hands and feet. Not to mention the 9 would have never started again.
We 6 share a common bond now known as "The Hotham Bond". Still have no feeling in 1 finger tip. Will do it again just for a pic.
Still kicking myself for not stopping.

It sounds like Cath and I made a smart, if soft, decision to give Hotham a miss this year You poor bastards!

Call me strange, but I actually enjoyed it.

Great photos everyone. Looks like I got off easy with a hire car and a plane to get me there.
Although I have accepted an offer to ride down and stay at the track next year to soak up the entire GP experience. The ride is about a 5300km round trip from home (better start getting bike fit now! )

STRANGE!!!!!

Well, as they say . . . . all good things come to an end ! ! As painful as it is, and despite trying very very hard not to come back to reality, I am now preparing for my return to work tomorrow.
I had an absolute ball of a time !

A massive thanQ to my fellow campers for the fun and games, for the laughs, laughs and more laughs and especially for your comraderie. It just doesn't get any better than that ! ! ! !
Oh, and here's cheers to the Hotham Bond!

ThanX Mya for the best dinner, thanX road captain for yet again going above and beyond, and thanX to my riding buddies - I can't wait for next year ! !
Oh and how could I forget, thanX Club Doom !

I had planned to post a couple of pics, but it seems the computer has other ideas atm. I'll try again later, if it's still in one piece.

try again . . .
I had to pay you back for posting pic of me Mike lol! Btw, it was great to meet you.

. . . .

Good shots RD dont forget my CD.
Any shots of the XJR trench digger ? Just to remind Jas what he let me do to his bike.
I wish we had shots of Bill's eyes when I was digging the trench towards his tent that night (what night was it ? they all blended in to me !!!!!!!!!) , they would be priceless.
And I'm sure you would have a few of me in some compromising positions ??

Cheers I.I.S ! !
C'mon . . . I wouldn't forget ! ! I've been working away culling and separating pics. And have started collecting pics (but there are a couple of people I'm yet to catch up with ) so if you've got any you want me to include let me know or bring em on disc, maybe to nasho one morning.

I think I can find one that shows the depth of the trench = the height of a beer can . . . . and what was the sidestand for again?
