Hi everyone.

Pee Cee and Pooh Bear we publicly praise you for the ‘Princely’ provision of plentiful piping-hot pizza proportioned enough to proudly produce the most preposterous ‘pyramid of pizza’ ever presented to this pack of prolific pizza partakers which pinnacled promiscuously with the provocative presentation of the ‘private passions’ (chocolate desert pizzas) pampering all participants who publicly professed the pizza particularly palatable and passionately praise the planners and preparers for your ‘Pizza Pow-wow’. Thanks Fee Cee (Ride-Leader) and Hun (TEO) who planned the ride (see the ride report).

Hope you have all safely survived the arrival of the wetter, colder weather. It is good to hear that Eagle Eye is continuing to recover after a (non-life threatening) altercation with a car which unexpectedly stopped halfway round a corner in front of him. Mike, we wish you a complete and speedy recovery and hope that news on your bike is positive as well. It will be great to see Stumpy able to ride with the group again after the repair of his bike and we wish the best to any other members who for personal or bike reasons are finding it difficult to get to the club meetings and/or rides. A special thanks to Hammer for finishing off the Spark and our thoughts are with Doug who has had to make an unexpected trip back to England.

Hopefully everybody’s nomination forms have arrived in time for names to be written within this issue, If positions have been left vacant, I urge you to consider you possibility to contribute to your club in a very positive and rewarding role as a committee member. Forward your nomination to the club or bring it to the floor at the AGM. A postal vote form has also been included for those full, financial members unable to attend the AGM. Please don’t forget to renew your membership prior to the AGM (next month) to enable you to vote on the new committee and new club name if the Special Meeting goes ahead after discussions (see insert for absent members). At the AGM we are also hoping to auction the large, advertising wall picture donated by Five Star (some competition is already evident).

As always, remember you are the most important person in this club. For the ride of your life stay on top’. Puss ‘n boots

(A round-a-bout way to Mandurah)

Question:

What travels the countryside chasing a Virgin while being followed by a Virgin..?’??

Answer:

Viragonians that went on the PeeCee & Pooh Bear Mystery Ride’!!

Yep it was my first time as Ride Leader and Huns first time as Tailend Harry Charlie,

It all started with a fine but very cool morning, I think it was 25 hikes that showed up to enjoy what promised to be a fine day. After checking out Less UPS (ya techo!), and minor repairs to the only non-Yamaha bike on the ride (Dave’s Vulcan). we hit the road heading for the freeway, Exiting the freeway at Armadale Rd we headed east, then south, then east, south, east, south and finally west ending up on the other side of the freeway)! sort of like a Taxi driver’s way of getting places..

Johnson Rd got us going in [he right direction again.., oh and then we came across our first ‘round-a-bout’, followed by another 4 on that road, down Baldivis Rd past the end of the freeway (another round-a-bout) to Karnup Rd. It was a series of nice winding country roads from there through Pinjarra where John warmed people up by having them push his bike to get it started again, onto Ravenswood Sanctuary and (another round-a-bout) Redcliff Barn for morning tea. Mike and his staff did a great job feeding us and the sun was out for awhile so that we could defrost. A Ulysses club was due at the Barn at 12:30 and guess what? We cleaned them out of scones and cakes.!! Sorry guys (he he).

The weather started to turn cloudy when we were leaving (another round-a-bout), we stopped for fuel at North Yunderup, headed south of Mandurah and then followed the coast hack to the foreshore (another 2 round-a-bouts). From there it was straight to Pee & Pooh’s for lunch (3 more round—a—bouts), So let’s see that was..

10 T-Junctions
IC left corners
10 right corners
13 Round-a-Bouts

That’s 43 corners that needed marking, we should he getting good at this!!!

Arriving at Pee & Pooh’s we were greeted by 3 more hikes, She, VeeBee and Budda. Puppee, Deadly, visitor Dave’s partner Deb, and Pooh Bear were also at the house.

Time for Food (lotsapizza) drinks music and a great after noon of socialising.

An Extra special thanks to Pooh Bear and our good friend Deb who put in a huge effort to make the afternoon a great experience, also to everyone that helped out at the house, and Hun for helping me organise the ride.

PS. Hope you all got home dry..
