aaah now there is a real character.... brother dave (where art thou)
got a lift to the ride on the saturday with brother dave and his monosyblic tones had me done for after 2 minutes. he somehow conspired to lose fryguy between the camp and the petrol station which was only 1/2 a mile!
then when he filled with fuel he did all his GPS, MPG calculations and then requested "where are they?". i said that "they could be anywhere but there is no way that 4 blokes can fill quicker trhan one and be gone!"
how wrong can you be?
so we sat on the side of the road for 10 minutes hoping to see team 'maple leaf' come bye but alas it was 10 long waisted (did i mention long?) in which we swapped out the 'chime bells of east patagonia' for 'native indian top 10 hits in the alaskan pop charts 1971-1973'.
here comes a really good bit;......heya, heya, heya , heya, woo-ho haya, haya, haya, haya... (i'll take it you get the drift of this....or maybe you all have a copy! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: ).
back to the camp. i spy with...... no they're not there! :roll: :roll:
more monotone diatrib, another hour and we catch up with everyone. sorry it was 10 minutes.
we arrive with splat (brian) and the crazy cannucks are unloaded ready to go. i find that my steed is ready and has even been warmed up but fryguy HASN'T CLEANED IT. what kind of service is this? don't they know what an englishmen expects, service! that's what!
however i manage to look down the side of my nose jusat one more time to keep these oyks in their place.
splat can't start his bike and after a considerable time he gives up and today (for yesterday he got tow started by a KTM85...think about that!) he has jeff in thunderbird 2 to give him a tow (AKA coronaberg) this duly happens and after much checking of how big bums look we are ready to set off.
i've been really cool about all this and if you look at the picture with fryguy pulling a wheelie right up near the camera you'll see that i'm right at the back being 'cool' (don't really know what it means but i do like to say it a lot).
we leave. we're away. ......
later that day brother dave says "whichwaydiyagoman?". "i blinked and you were gone...."
right
