excuse our typo's, Trish doesn't fix up the crap we write, latest info uppermost

14/8/08 The Australian Supermoto Championships Round 2 were held in Mildura last weekend.

Bloody awesome show . . . click HERE for some Gossip 'n Pics

12/8/08 Things have been a bit busy lately at arms HQ. Good news was a couple of weeks ago Adrian Fitzgerald competed at the Australian Off Road Championships on his CRF250X with a Stealth re-engineered rear Showa Shock to knock off one of the countries all time greats Geoff Ballard by some 30 seconds after 8 or 9 Special Tests over 2 Days of competition....... were pretty stoked over that we can tell ya.

27/7/08 The annual Nhill Pony Express was yet again a spectacular affair. Born form the Green Triangle Enduro Club, and lots of help from Trish, this event is still running strong now with the Local Club at Nhill continuing with what has turned out to be a great formula. We haven't got the actual results, but can tell ya Luke / Anthony Greene Damien / Heath Fitzy / Colwill were all in amongst the Trophies. I also counted the bikes on the Warm Up Lap . . . 103 which looked pretty spekky

Damien before and after chatting with co-rider Heath

8/7/08 Something a little different coming up at MacPark on the October 18 & 19th is Colin Thompson's....."All Sorts Motorcycle Rally". Whilst it doesn't include Track use, it does include camping etc at MacPark, the event has flexible rides etc around the district for all to join in on. See Colin's Flyer HERE

6/7/08 Went for a bit of a low key crooz with the tribe on Sat aft which was organized through the Forum, she was a pretty good day on the weather with a fresh Northerly breeze, so we decided ta head South to PortMac for a nice warm coffee. Saddling up, Mom keeps an eye on her offspring, have a look at this mischievous looking pair. We didn't get far outta Pt.Mac when we struck a bit of bother, Trish was suggestive about what Rod could do with this bit. We motored on to Donavons n back to the Mt. Thanks to Rod, the Cows stayed well away from the fences and we never saw a Kangaroo all day :)

Mom says this was the best lookin bike on the ride . . .

14/6/08 Out and about for a ride, a 4 Bike Crooz 280km from Mt.Gambier - Portland Enduro - Digby via some great country in the Crawford River area - Railway Line - Home. Great ride on a lucky Sunny winters day.

Adventure Rides about the district are coordinated using the Forum

Grant Stars at the Portland Enduro :

7/6/08 Elliot's Big Ride . . . included Mount Gambier . . .

Tony Kirby and Tony Tevoret rode right round the South Australian Border raising dollars for Kids with Cancer,

they stopped off at the Cave Gardens for a Barby

30/5/08 DO YOU OR YOUR KIDS HAVE A SUPER POLICY or worse still POLICY"S

Wow took a while to complete this . . . about 6 months !

If you have a Super Policy or most importantly your Kids may have just started a working a Job or two...... have a read at http://www.thearmsreport.com.au/super/

It should have you at the very least doing some sums on your Kids Super Fund if not your own Super Fund. Our Complaint was with ANZ and ING, it only took 6 months of lots of paperwork and phones calls to sort . . . hopefully thearmsreport super page may help you look into your own situation. This Industry is so well regulated ALL Super Fund Providers do very similar things, even the Paperwork is the same amongst different Funds ! It's how much you loose that changes, that's if you haven't already lost the lot !

20/4/08 BBJ forwarded this on us, it's a lil clip so hope it works on your PC.

If this bloke can do it . . . bring back racing in the streets I reckon !

14/4/08 Barney's annual Halls Gap Ride got a little interupted by a good rain which moved in Friday evening, and depending on where ya was.....all Friday night. Lucky for Trish and I, we managed to be riding along next to it during Friday, Paul n Trudy trailered up in the rain so they were right too and Peter & Kathleen rode up on Sat morning also missing the rain....good timing all round. Just got a couple of pics as we were too busy enjoying the ridin . . . Trish threatens to throw my bike down a big hole after taking her up a dirt road for an hour n a half . . . Unbelievable country . . . this must has taken heaps of skill . . . Trish wondering what the f%&^ 'i'm up to . . . Trish after 2 hours floggin up a gravel road to get here . . . pondering the map for more dirt roads.

not all me mates could make it . . . All good fun and can't wait till the next run

14/2/08 Do a bit of Trail Riding ?....Perhaps a Quad in the bush..... etc etc .....a while back now thearmsreport mentioned a bloke called Simon White, he's been pretty busy justifying his new job....... have a look at this newsletter.

One great thing I noticed was the noise testing...... a pretty good percentage of bikes passed !

bush_riding

3/2/08 Summer is slipping by but thanks to Aaron working, Trish and I got to have a "quiet" day out at the Portland Drags. It was my first run this year as Aaron is the regular pilot.....just coz he's quicker.

It was the Drags for Wishes meet and I'd have to say without knowing that it was a roaring success, there was a heap of people looking, some awesome looking cars, and not to mention a great turnout of bikes.

If your keen on a run, they do the Friday nights preceding the Saturday racing, see Calendar.

Roll up with your registered car or bike ( stock pipes n stuff ) for Friday Nights for street runs.

Saturday Racing roll up with anything long as it's safe to use. Us lot prefer the racing but sheez sudden death stuff and you need a fair bit of skill to win a day, lots of fun trying though........One winner and a heap of loosers in this game.

I reckon every one with a car or bike should at least have one go at it and see how ya run, ya never know, you might be good at it as HP etc don't matter in this game. It's handy if ya got a few though to generate some smoke.

Gav waits quietly while I generate smoke . . . then rudely leaves me behind . . . Trish's Pics

We have had a couple of good rides lately around the district, first one was the Dergholm run (first pic here where Trish shows the Harley how to get round corners........ and the others were taken at the Halls Gap Run)

Great riding country up there and well worth the trip

4/12/07 Doug Francis hands over a nice new Suzuki GSXR1000 for Christmas. We'll have ta get Barney to keep us posted on how she goes . . . If the ride back from Hamilton was anything to go by . . . awesome machine.

< All stealthed up and flying

27/10/07 Got a few happy snaps from last Saturdays Road Ride up to Dergholm and back from the Mount.

We had a "sensible" group, although there was the odd smell of burning rubber from time to time, isn't it funny how ya just cant seem to wear old tyres out.....still working on that one.

It doesn't matter where you take Trish, she seems to be cleaning - cleaning and cleaning

BBJ follows a great example

We had 11 Bikes 1 Charade and 1 Doggy turn up

Got told not to publish this Pic or he'd do a Burnout on my Testicles

This is a typical Adventure Trail Ride we do around the district :

posted 17/6/06 Chris E took us for his farewell adventure ride last weekend around the western district's of victoria. We covered some 270 odd km's with 8 riders, most of whom were on Suzuki's would you believe! It was a great ride but one thing was a little surprising.......not if your a farmer........is how dry it looks out there....we even had some dust on a few of the sections. Anyway we got a few pics of the ride ..... chris fillin up at dartmoor ........ egg keeping the wildlife at bay ...... grantly chasing a snake ...... but that's ok coz he was only playing with hiscock ...... the boys coming down from the big hill ...... drink time ...... chris g talking crap (see over his left shoulder) ...... and ...... nothin like a country pub ......this last pic wasn't working for some reason.......more head scratchin......but now she does !
