Whether or not you support the monarchy, the fact remains that the King's Birthday Honours List (it seems funny calling it that after calling it "Queen's" for my whole lifetime), does a great job in recognising people in our community whose service … [Read more]
Rats and mice!
We had an opportunity to grab a couple of days in a cabin down the south coast so we took it. Right on the beach, it was fabulous. We walked a lot and chilled out, just what we needed. BUT, when I started the car this morning there was a little … [Read more]
Long Weekend
The accepted "wisdom" is that you don't go riding on a Double Demerits weekend but those of you who know me know that that never worries me. Since the number of times that I exceed the speed limit can be counted on the fingers of Captain Hook's hand, … [Read more]

A great little find
I went to a speedway show yesterday. It was held at the Liverpool District Museum and was held to celebrate the great days of Liverpool Speedway. There was some vintage speedway machinery on display in the car park and some formalities indoors. … [Read more]

We are all very familiar with the famous John Small colour photo of Graeme Crosby doing a wheelstand up Jackie Howe Crescent at Macarthur during the first road closure in October 1978. I thought you might like to see my effort at the same … [Read more]
