I needed to get some ride therapy after a Club Member's story of having a segment of ear plug removed deep from his cranial cavity by the Port Augusta squid jigging champion.

Tagging onto the stylish D&G ride (Dave and Goldie) with a plethora of other riders there were plenty of incidents and obstructions to keep you alert including planks of wood on the road, bases of safety cones in the middle of the road, main geese walking across the road, a vehicle coming towards the group sideways (it ended up being conveyed on the tines of a large tractor) and a Blue Subaru ute trying to knock Wes off his GS.

Arriving at the Placid Ark Service Station, stirred but not shaken, a group of Wes, BillB, Kim, Swampy, Bozo and Karl decided to deviate to Dwellingup. A quick blast up the Coolup Road to Burnside Road got us to Dwellingup via the Pinjarra - Williams Road. Pies, cakes and coffees were consumed with banter about dishwashers, pallets on roads, European wasps, Black Dog Rides, Rugby, old bike riders, prison inmates and the number 42. We were encouraged to leave by the Café staff to make way for an even older group of riders. We departed past a gleaming Vincent and other magnificently restored bikes. The descent down Del Park Road was followed by the highway commute home.

Great to get out on the bike again and Swampy the injury was not caused "wrestling the dishwasher".... it was trying to remove an old dishwasher.

Oh !! So you mean your back injury was caused by a "Mechanical" dishwasher Chris .............OOPS My Mistake mate

Hi Guys. I actually set off on this ride, but after 100m or so was overcome by the weight of marital duty and instead headed to Freo to help the wife and about 2000 other vegetarians utterly fail to convince anyone that shipping live sheep is not a good thing. Do I regret that decision! 2 hours standing on a windy bridge, getting burnt to a crisp and abused by passing motorists with a bunch of hippies. Your ride story sounds fabulous by comparison.

Said you should keep going and stay with us instead .It was a good ride, a group parted from us at Coolup, the rest of us with Dave Beemer leading the way down past gnomesville to Mummbellup tavern for a beer then over to Collie. Fuelled up and onto the Quindaning hotel for a late lunch.The steak sandwiches were great but took awhile to get ,came home via lower Hoffman road, I left everybody at Dwellingup.Thanks all those who turned up for the ride and to Dave leading the way around the back roads.

Well you answered your own decision.
Maybe those 2000 vegetarians should put their weight behind supporting something you eat, like " The Spud Shed " . He needs help in trying to get rid of the Potato Board monopoly. With the over charging of vegetables.
Maybe those passing motorist were Farmers whos lives you are affecting, by trying to stop this.
This is very similar to the beef exports to Indonesia that " Current Affair " put heir foot into. I bet those Vegetarians don't know how many farmers lives that has ruined. But that is all pushed under the carpet. Current Affair wouldnt dear step into the NT now with the damaged they caused to the beef industry.
Getting burnt to a crisp & abused, you better tell someone who cares. Because I don't.

Did I miss the BMW motorbike or any motorbike part of this story?

Re deleted post - Let's keep the forum clear of personal and political rants folks, we come here to get away from that

The so called rant that you deleted Jono, is pure facts. So, if someone what's too open a can of worms they need to make sure that they know all the facts.

Looks like we have the Australia government overseeing our freedom of speech.

Sitting here eating my porridge and watching the outcome, deleted posts, censorship, rants, raves and excuses.

Lucky this is a public forum and open to discussion and not monitored by Neo nazi moderators happy to delete what doesn't please their political views. ( not that that has happened in the past )

Well spotted...Brian is a club member who recently travelled across Australia and had a troublesome remnant of an ear plug that had broken in half deep in his ear canal that proved difficult to remove.

Goldie suggested using compressed air through a pinched nose to pop it out (not supported by anyone with vague medical skills) ...not sure how many bar pressure you need to rupture an eardrum.

I have just the implement on my jack knife, usually reserved for getting Boy Scouts out of horses hooves. I'm sure that in a pinch the auditory canal could have been cleared with a little judicious probing and a sturdy, well secured bench vice.

Chris you sound like the sort of practitioner that I could use to help pull troublesome teeth. Sounds like a great technique
