Well, after all the problems you and Donna made it to the Rally.
We had over 100 bikers and pillions show up, even though some of them rode fully enclosed 'quadracycles', and it was certainly an eventfull event.
Friday -
Mick and Donna nearly didn't make it because of the B6 had 'ran out of electricity'. But after a repack of Rex and a phone call to "The Treasurer" (from now on to be called "the ambo" - see below) and I packed our second tent so they'd have some shelter.
I arrived at Humula during a small shower that turned a bit heavy just as I was putting the tent up, fortunately the inside only got a little wet.
One of the locals called by to ask for some help, one of her heffers had got it's head stuck in some corragated iron blocking the hay shed. After a little effort we rescued said heffer, and upon returning to the rally site we proclaimed to one and all that we'd rescued a "long horn steer", some believed us other called it bullshit.
One of the rally goers was having a particularly good and very loud time, much to the annoyance of everyone else at 4:00am. At one point he yelled out something about breaking his leg, we just ignored him.
Saturday
a couple of people showed up on Trikes, one of them on a VW powered Trike wished he hadn't. Apparantly the electronic ignition failed and he spent most of the day converting it back to points.
The bloke that had declared that he had broken his leg decided that he really should go to hospital, as it turned out "the treasurer" was the only person sober enough to drive, so she kindly drove the bloke to hospital at around 2:00pm, she didn't get back until 8:00pm -what a birthday present for her. Oh and for the record he had broken his lower tibia and upper fibia.
While she was away, we had not one but 2 storms, one of which caused a black out, and a BMW rider broke down less than 15km from the rally site - probably got water into places water shouldn't be, and we had to go and rescue him, his was very appreciative and our Presidant didn't buy very many drinks that night. Unfortunately we couldn't get the bike going and on Sunday he was waiting for a mate from Sydney to arrive with a trailer.
Other than that it was a typical 'Once Bitten Rally', a good time was had by all, even those with broken bikes and bodies and we're looking forward to next year.
