Hi Peter,
You are welcome to join us next year; others are coming!
Andrew has another Mach III; he will bring it next year.



Hi Richard, Just might take you up on that, would be a long ride for me 500k on top of the 1000k return from Kal + running around.
Hope to see you at the 2 Day IHC Rally next year will talk about it then. *beer*

Great pictures mate.
What's the local take on the bent copper who used to own the pub.
Did he fit up the Micklebergs?
An interesting tale if the truth ever comes out.
cheers

Hi Peter,
Yes, see you in march; I have lodged my application.

Olev,
Don Hancock owned the pub. He was an Ora Banda boy; went to school there with my dad.

The Mickleberg story is a controversial one.

Great run Richard. Brilliant to see you enjoying the fruit of too many hours in the shed. I'll be into it next year. Sadly missed this one.

Good to see them all battling on through the sunny weather. Gosh, imagine what biking could be like if you didn't expect it to rain as soon as you pick up a helmet. I know fierce heat is probably worse but that's no problem for a whinging pomme.

I drove in the NT from Darwin down to Alice and the rock a few months ago. I was in a little Toyota hatch - boy was it hot when you stepped out and away from the air con. I mean hot. Soon got a real thirst for those ice cold and thin beers out there.

I feel thirsty already

The Orabandon ride is on again this year 4th & 5th Dec 2020, leaving Busselton Wednesday to go to Kalgoorlie, Trailering the bike up for the ride.
From what Richard said I don't think we are going to go to Ora Banda this year but if its any thing like last year it will be a great ride, really enjoyed it last year, hopefully it want be as hot as last year, up around the 45c. Weather guru says it will be in the low 30c so should be good.
Unfortunately I want be on the A10, sold it and the A7 I'm restoring is nowhere near ready, I will be on my CB500X. *smiley4*
