There was another group of riders waiting at the Watson BP, but they didn’t seem interested in what we were up to. We had more riders …. so there whoever you were. This proves Kipper is a big drawcard (bigger even than Ian Paterson). However, Kipper decided the air conditioned Range Rover filling up at the diesel tanks looked like a more comfortable ride than the usual. The hand that feeds soon had that sorted and Kipper took a spot on the Victory.
It was decided we would head up the highway to Macs Reef Road, and come home the long way. Everyone looked hungry so this seemed like a great idea and got the thumbs up from all participants.
The ride was fun and relaxing - a great way to clear your head and shake out the cobwebs on a Sunday morning. As usual the company was fab, the food at RnR’s diner in the Village Square cafe precinct was yum and the service was tip top - lovely staff who didn’t seem at all flustered by the numbers of us streaming through the door.
Conversation on our table lent itself to topics such as the use of ‘she wee’ devices (don’t ask Andrea - PLEASE), volunteering at the AGM, Genelle’s sore Bonneville butt, where are you going in Tassie, how many blokes flogged Jenny’s beaut BMW scootie before she bought it, and how many sat on my GS while it was in the showroom after it arrived on the boat from the Motherland … the boot scuffs tell a different story …… I didn’t get over to the other table, but I’m sure their convos were just as erudite as ours.
Some stayed to chat on, others left to go home the long way or on further travels for the day. After a chat and a look in the Leather shop, Mark and I took Norton Road and the Monaro.
Good company, good food, good conversations, lots of laughs.
Yet another relaxed and fun Chomp and Chat enjoyed by all.
