ps. I remember when the West Coast Highway ended in a parking lot just North of Sorrento, back then the WCH went inland from Scabs and came back to the coast at Triggs, fuck I am old.

50 years ago you could get lost in the bush 100m from my place at Blacksland in The Blue Mountains. We had a great little creek right behind my house. Now that creek is an underground pipe with houses built over it and bearly a vacant block as far as you can see. It's now suburbia.

Found these photos on my phone of a cracking day trip a few years back, taking ‘Panacea’ back to where she was originally sold. I hear the old Slaters place is to be demolished, is that correct?

I’ve never had a spotted dick, but be assured, if I did, I’d be off to a Dr smartly

Aha, that confirms my theory on the benefits of going commando, which BTW, I was forced into after Breganze 2019.

Slaters as opposed to ‘a slaters’ were the importers of Laverda motorcycles to the UK back in the day.

Okay, so clearly you missed the ongoing ‘What is a Slaters’ forum joke.

Mr Sock will be along shortly to confirm

Didn't you just ask me what Deja Vu actually means?

Fuck, now I’m really confused.

I feel like we’ve done this all before, but did we?

No photos, sorry, too busy having fun! First ride on the’79 Jota since COVID, from the ‘ranch’ in Omarama to Cromwell for lunch and back. The Lindis Pass was fairly quiet this morning so a good ride. Will try to stop for a photo next time.

A Rose among many thorns.

6 Lavs - 2 x 1000, 3 x 750 and a 500. Not bad for an outpost like Perth!
