Shed Ride & BBQ
The
shed ride and BBQ was something a bit different. We set off (over 30
bikes) towards Colin & Sue Butler's place first via Rocky Crossing
Road for a bit of a ride. Colin's shed is like a Lotto dream to a lot
of blokes.
He has a good variety of bikes, all British with a lot of old
examples which he takes pleasure in restoring. A great shed, full of
character.
The ladies took off for a look at the house which is very well built
with a lot of individual features.
Colin and Sue have certainly put a lot of work into their property,
building the house out of bricks they made themselves.
Shortly it was time to go to Glen and Kay Taylor's house, which was
a bit closer to town. Their place is close to the King River with
lovely lawns, neat house and shed. They have a beautiful Royal Enfield
sidecar outfit with unusual fork legs specifically designed for use
with a sidecar.
Glen is in the process of
building a BSA Gold Star Replica, and doing a great job too, you would
be hard pushed to tell the difference. He also has numerous stationary
motors which he's restored. They were of special interest to the
farming community in our midst and brought back memories from years ago.
The BBQ was lit and the left-over sausages from the Tuning
Day/Sausage Sizzle were put on.
Thanks to those who provided the salad, bread, cakes and coffees etc.
and to Marilyn for doing back-up duties.
