I really wanted to ride down, but i think ill have to drive. it sucks as i really had a romantic idea of some kinda sab easyrider mashup. 

 

It's important to have a plan :) Ha! My bike currently looks like something the four horsemen of the apocalypse would take on a threeday rooshoot. You are now the official Backup Vehicle mwahahahaha if that's not an incentive to ride down I dunno...

I'm not sure I can even get there...  :(  BUT Darklight - who's in with this bet?  What's the pot at?  I can't afford to lose fiddy bucks but I'm putting my money on Hillbilly.  He'd still cockslap MoonUnitBontantic even if sabotaged and hobbled.   :P

 

The current pool is at exactly fiddy bucks, someone offered to throw in a kidney but I don't think it was theirs so it doesn't count. Unless Ronny can chuck in the EGA Arts Grant funds to buy MoonUnits vajazzled posing strap it's gunna be more of a mooncup than a pot

I'll pass this year. I was going to ega before it became mainstream ;)

 

OMG, are you the token hipster for Eugungurararra or however you spell that place?

 

You'd better be going, because I know where you live, maybe

Worse...

 

... also, it's purple, well, bits of it are purple. Many of the other bits are rust and peely chrome coloured

 

Engine goes like hot shit off a shovel. When it goes. Nicely ported

 

She's starting to resemble her owner- all engine, no brakes....

 

Are you trying to distract me from remembering you volunteered to be the Backup Driver for this run? ;)

Course there is. Not having a bike at all is heaps worse. No sooking :)

 

Now *this* is a Honda. Mine from the early 90s. And no way would I ride it to EGA

 

Shit, the Marzoccis weren't on in the pic. I need glasses for everything these days :/

i freakin thought that vertical pipe on the rear was a snorkel ie 4wd style ......ala honda style but then realized it was a shit bar ie the thing that dangled down in old hr holden rear seat that you would grab onto when shit hit the fan ie shit yourself and hold on bar

this is my dreaming for the convoy - i don't know who fits what bill but we are all there in this scene

that looks like it was good for adventures!

 

 

Back in those days even riding to work was a bloody adventure. Roads were shocking and that thing steered like a pissed camel

Is a luggage rack. I hate pillions. How else do you think I got the Weetbix home?

 

Mind you a snorkel woulda been great for the old 500/4 Kwakka and the stupidly deep creek crossing

I've finally come to my senses & realised that I need to go to EGA this year. 

Due to time restrictions I'll need to fly in & out.

I'm putting out some early feelers to see if:

- anyone has room in their tent for a giant yeti man (long shot I know)

 - anyone can help out with a lift to & from the airport

- anyone can transport my camping gear to the site as I can't fly with it. 

 

Big asks I know & anyone offering help with be duly compensated. 

 

Thanks

Aw shit, you've gone and inspired me @toast ...my reasons for not going to this thing are evaporating fast, I think I am going to have to do it. There will always be more money, right @El Presidente Hillbillios? :wink:

You guys got room for one more? Or do I need to stow away in Darklight's Weetbix compartment?

Whoop! Week long trip sounds grand. You legend. :wub:

 

That line-up looks amazing, and I'm also looking forward to finally meeting some of you folks from other states & NNSW who I've been chatting with online over the last bloody 15 years! Long overdue.
