For onlookers / lurkers.
Shane did some testing at great expense on how ordinary paper and fuel dockets reacted with red gatorade. The experiment was a complete failure and its now on permanent record that this will not pass muster for preservation of paper. Testing is continuing, more drinks will be tested. ............ or not. |

Hope all is well with your wife mate.
UPDATE: Got this just now: Just received this from Paul Evans who has been liaising with the Tottenham locals. The Lions Club are happy to provide a basic dinner on Saturday Night and Breakfast on Sunday morning. We discussed steak sandwiches .tea/coffee and soft drinks on Sat evening and egg and bacon rolls, tea/coffee on Sunday. They are used to catering and
this menu is what they have for the 750 people attending their yearly dirt bike rally and so far haven't had any complaints.
………………..I'd still plan to be self sufficient just in case they are overwhelmed but it's great the locals are getting
behind us and the Far Cairn Rally
I met with St
Vincent's today and they are right behind the
initiative and will support it being rolled out to other hospitals . We need to raise approx $10,000 to put together the submission for full government funding
. Hopefully the Far Cairn rally kicks that effort along really well
If you're riding out please take it easy and we'll look forward to seeing as many members there as possible
Best regards Andrew

Dirt roads??? Who said anything about dirt roads???
Don't tell me there are dirt roads, then I won't worry about them, then I will relax, let the bike do it's thing and we will both be happy
