Le tour de Oxley 2011

[FIFO]

Good to see you all had a good time, and made it back in one piece

Yeah Brian tell us all the dirt.
I see you bunked with Cakeman, Goldie with Craigo, who did Heather bunk with?

[goldFiSh]

The sleeping quarters was all about noise.....

Craigo and I, having been in this situation before, understood that we are both heavy sleepers and snore like troupers. Thus, we decided instantly that we were to be roommates.

Matty and Heather (also been on tour together before) are light sleepers, so that choice was easy...

That just left Brian and Andrew. Now, none of us were aware of Brian's midnight orchestra; which Andrew promptly pointed out after night 1. Countermeasures were deployed for night 2. I'll leave the others to fill in the details...

Why didn't this one make it to the highlights package....

Brian seemingly engaging in some early morning tai chi with his ever handy iphone. there's an app for everything

What dirt are you talking about Brian   We all behaved like catholic school boys home from bording school for a long weekend.

Of course we knew your bike would be washed the night you got home, but it didn't really need to be.
It already has a hallow around it.



Coffee art?



Right back at ya, snapped by Goldie while waiting for the downed Monster to come back to us.



Please explaaainnnnnnn........



I know they are HD glasses but there made in Italy and make me look cool......



There was a small amount that did stick to the Hallo Monster.



And to answer your question Stopintime, the clamp around the fork leg of the blue S4R is another Go-Pro mount.
I think the owner might be a little busy to post any of the footage, there needs to be a couple of things worked out before we might see anything from the trip.

The Bronster has coined Brian W "Mr Teflon" - shit does not stick to his bike (or perhaps to him)

[cakeman]

[mattyvas]

Keep it private I'd say until you are sort with your bike.
Glad you are okay, did you get a razing when you got home?

The misses was suprisingingly cool last night, she was a bit more annoyed this morning.
Coming home was a little painful with all the bumps and last night got pretty sore but im pretty much right as rain today!

Awesome trip. Thunderbolts wasn't as good as I expected, but the rest of it was superb.

Here is Brian on his dirtbike:

Awesome countryside the whole way. There were a number of times I was tempted to just stop and take in the views.

[mattyvas]

Brilliant trip people, one of the touring party is still on the road making her way home still while doing some vital road research for everyone.

I know what you are talking about being a little under whelmed by Thunder Bolts, Nick and said the same thing when we rode it last year.
Plan on doing it again at least twice this year. I know we all had a great time not only riding but hanging out in the evening.
