well done Ken, glad you`re going,,,i think Billy won`t be there with the twinny this year, not sure but i don`t think the rear engine will be back together by then. I`ll be there,but will be riding a quad runner around towing Lionel Ayres`s "Yellow Submarine" historic open wheeler around for him
I broke my ankle last week so i have this big bright blue cast on & i won`t be hobbling arond on krutches all weekend, Bugga that!!!,,,,also i have a friend of mine comming around this week to attach a whipper snipper motor to my tricycle for me, basket on the back for the esky hopfully that will be ready,,,if not then i`m sitting on the quadrunner all weekend
hope to be there friday, but might only make it late friday night. see you there sweety pants

After seeing last years even on TV, I so wanna go!! Too bad though, I can't make it. With the price fuel and me being broke, it's a bit to far to walk! 
Mr Crutches, please take lots of pix! |

well,,,what a weekend!!!!!!,,,F`ken HUGE!!!! there were so many dam people everywhere , more & more every year , it`s wicked!!! I was trundling around on my little red trike, peddling around in between helpin out Lionel & Bruce Ayers with the Yellow submarine & Billy westerman & Freddy Sayers with the Twinny mini...i tyied to keep a low profile, but somehow the broken foot with bright blue cast & a bright red trike & esky in the back was a bit of a give away so i ended up chatting with a whole heap of people rather than sinking all that lovely cold bourbon in my esky
But it did end up getting drunk i mad equite sure of that
Friday night was huge!!! Party on the main street, sat night was even bigger with dinner table lining the streets again & with 3 big bands playing all sorts of oldy stuff & a roving brass type band wondering around,,,HUGE!!! Bob Holden had a bit of a moment on his first lap, missed the first corner all together, but it wasn`t just him, quite a lot of people were doin the same thing ...untill they finally woke up & decided to put barriers across & tell each driver where the first corner was silly knobs
The track was much tighter this year, with all the water barriers being empty of water also, made for a much better track,,,altho it was tighter,& times were much slower than last year to the tune of around 2 or 3 secs slower,,, there were less accidents tho & way less hold ups,,,last year when there was a stack, they`d hit the water barrier & of course water would piss everywhere all over the track, so the very next few drivers through there would also slip/slide into em from the water spill,,,stupid really, so it didn`t look like there was any water in them this year Muchous betterous!!!
had a good old chat with old mate John Bowe & Steven Richards & Bob Holden & My good friend Frank Gardiner again(what an amazing man!!!), Ron Tauranac,ok ok,,,i`m just name dropping again, But i must say what lovely people they all are,,,all the hob knobs are just super nice normal human beings & are happy for a little chatty with anyone, very approachable & are all just as excited with the whole affair as anyone, it`s allways a bloody marvelous meeting & event organisers My good friend & Joker-aholic Roger (the artfull dodger) Ealand & his girl friday, Cath Donaldson should be commended on yet another supper dooper well orgainsed Speed on Tweed Meeting & well,,,lots of chickybabes, top quality eye candy & some hot cars too i didn`t have much time to play up, as i was helping out with a few cars/teams & then drinkng/watchng the racing & went to bed early (yes, very un-like me , i know) But with the broken leg it made it pretty hard to party in the streets without crashing into everyone with the trike & besides, it would have been way too hard to peddle all that way back to the monster truck in the main oval/showgrounds, bugga that!!! !
had some other mini customer related stuff to sort out around Murwillumbah & on the Gold Coast after the event, but got home before sunset on sunday & hit the sack like a log!!! wicked wicked wicked!!! I wish it could have gone on & on & on,,,but sadly as allways,,,all good things must come to an end, just like this story
cheers & if you get the chance to hit Speed on tweed next year, please, don`t hesitate,,,GET THERE!!! you will not be disappointed...it`s HUGE!!!!!! sorry, but i didn`t get many pics as i was a little busy most of the time, but i`m sure there`l be some floating around soon
