Always in my thoughts

I gotta tell ya.. this ride is almost in my every thought, There is nothing like the feeling of the open road, going for a day ride or a quick blat through your favourite set of twisties is great, But, compared to a Journey of few days and a few thousand K's on a Bike, there is no contest. Add a few friends on the same bike a GPz900R and almost every conceivable piece of someone's favourite road and you have the makings of the mother of all Rides. 
On this ride there will be guys from almost the furtherest points in Australia, from Bowen far north Queensland, Perth Western Australia and Frankston Victoria to name just a few converging onto Wagga Wagga central NSW.
There is a genuine excitement growing amongst the Ozzie contingent. we have a couple of members who taken up the mantle and are organizing different aspects of the ride, HWY has made a few drafts of a Flyer/Poster thingy which has been download by other members and forwarded to various groups and organizations as well being posted in Bike shop windows and selected eateries. 
I'm incouraging all members to start keeping a log, whether like this in a blog, or with pictures  but mainly a video log recording feelings preparations reactions etc, as one of the plans is to try and make a DVD of the Epic. My eldest Daughter, the Beautiful Multi-talented Abby Bella, is a flourishing Movie Producer/Director/Writer with a few good short films under her belt. has been approached and is very excited about the idea. 
Preparations for me include and are governed by the completion of my Bike "The Hulk". and as my accomplice in this project (Young Mick) will be unavailable for a few months in the very near future, pressure to finish is weighing upon me. I don't want to rush and short cut anything. So at the moment, Funds permitting, I am spending most of my free time, which is very limited, out at The Shed, or doing bits and pieces towards the build and ride here at home.
