Gentleman Ahab
Posted: Wed 08 Oct, 2014 2:37 pm
Went for a last ride today to Toodyay before leaving for the Great Central Road and Alice Springs and return with my wife in my 4WD on Friday morning for 3 to 4 weeks.
The weather was beautiful, The roads were clear and the paddocks are still green. I was just getting off my bike at the Coco Cola Cafe for refreshments and Ahab pulled up on his TW200 hardly recognisable as a bike under a thick layer of mud and crap.
Ahab was suitably attired as the "Country Gentleman" that he is these days attired in a paint spattered T shirt, Shorts and Gumboots.
He was in the Hardware store, Saw me pass by and followed me to the Cafe.
Now when I called Ahab a gentleman I meant it in more ways then one............................................. He actually shouted this old bastard my refreshments, saying something about a Pensioner I think
Spent a pleasant hour chatting before Mike remounted his bike............I really don't know how he worked out which way to get on and puttered off down the road leaving a muddy trail behind him
Thanks Mike, I really appreciated your genorosity and the company. At the risk of embarrassing you I need to say that it's people like you in this club that make it as enjoyable as it is
See you when I get back in a few weeks
Regards Swampy
