We all met at the start of the F3 as we were coming from all over sydney for this ride,a mystery ride heading for Bulahdelah on sat ,but after we waited for the the last ones to turn up at the F3.We got started up the F3 and man the traffic was fucked but we had fun getting threw and our first port of call was for dinner at Wollembi and to warm the bones.We already got wet so our next stop was the BELLBIRD HOTEL at BELLBIRD near Cessnock for the night and lay our heads,which we didn't do until well after last drinks were called. This ride was also a rolling Bux party for one of our brothers,Shane and we brought out LUCY to meet Shane.She wasn't allowed to leave his side for the rest of the ride and that meant on the back of the bike as well.(She was a bit of an Airhead) So we dragged ourselves out of bed for breakfast which Shane did a great job of cooking while a lot of us just had our heads on the table laughing at what happened the night before,We jumped on the bikes and headed for our NORTH BRANCH Brothers Med and Banksy waiting for us at the STROUD HOTEL.We finally got there had quick beer while shane did some running repairs to the old Norton Commando 850,Found some loose engine mount bolts,Shane had to get antique tools from antique shop for antique bike wouldn't read about it till now. The Pack was now complete.12 United Tourers on a mystery ride,it doesn't get better than this.No destination just let's get together and fucking ride,and after every piece of weather you can think of and some hard kilometres done.The pack got split up from the heavy bullshit rain before Uralla. Bunger and Shane were the last ones to roll into town and Shane slowed up coming into Uralla next thing i know I'm cruising into town with a Norton hanging off the back of my bike .Shane lost all drive which later turned out to be a buggered drive belt,After some phone calls we couldn't get another belt so we were camping in Uralla that night to wait for shanes tow truck. We stayed at the TOP PUB in Uralla and these guy's really looked after us,put on a great feed, looked after the bikes,looked after us,even the local COP turned up to say G'day,but we think he only wanted to meet Lucy!We all had a fucking ball!! But unfortunately Shane had to leave us here as Mandy was taking him and the Norton home,so we wish you and Mandy the Best and we will keep the Party going for ya Brother!!!!!!!!!! So from Uralla we had an awesome ride to Dorrigo and back to the coast road which then we started heading for south and the direction of home,We finished the days riding at Bulahdelah ,Had another Great night with our North Branch Brothers.Can't wait to do it again. We got up in the morning jumped on the bikes on Monday morning and did the last stretch home and were all buggered by the time we got home but we all had a great weekend ,1364km's travelled for the Campbelltown boys and those of you that didn't come you guy's missed out just don't forget Australia Day 2009 there just might be a Mystery Ride coming up,So watch this website . |
