Yeah, I might get up there for a squiz.

The last time I went, I picked up a plastic scale model kit of a K100.

see if I can get there
some one remind me huh ?

No worries Charlie...my people will talk to your people. 

I will be going. I have to work Friday night so not sure what time I will get there.

I'm going to try and get there early, so I can get all the best Brick stuff. I think there were two K bits last year. I did however meet up with TacKler. Looking forward to it I'll be wearing a BMW cap with K75s on the sides. Approach and say " Wild Bricks bloom in spring" and I'll give you the counter sign " Only when the wind blows from the north"

Regards Martin.

...lol "only when the wind blows from the north " ???

surly something like "when the surprise wind blasts you without hearing it coming nor going "

such is the stuff of legends

without the typical whine on approach  you would never know it was a beemer at all

Sound like something from Alo Alo...".Listen closely, I shall say this only once"...

I didn't think you guys would go for wearing a frangipani behind your left ear. So I went with the alternative.
Regards Martin.

I was talking to a mate yesterday evening who was going to the swap meet. He has a mate in the Hysterical  Historical Motorcycle Club and there is a possibility that the meet may be postponed due to weather. I won't find out until later today. I will post anything on the outcome, if and when I get the information. But looking at weather predictions it is not looking good.   
Regards Martin.

The thought of hundreds of people walking around the wet and soggy showgrounds would put the organisers off a bit I would imagine.

Thanks for letting us know.

I was given the phone number of the guy that is selling at the swap meet by my mate. I couldn't get him on his mobile so I rang his home number and got his wife. She informed me that he is already up there. So at this stage I'll wait till tomorrow, and decide whether or not to take the Brick. A mate has offered to give me a ride up in his ute if I decide not to ride. This morning the sun came out so I decided to go and fill up and then go to dump day and catch up with a couple of mates. I filled up and then got a free wash and blow dry, the skies opened up and the wind gusts nearly pushed me into the next lane. I don't mind riding in the rain but the strong wind gusts were a bit scary. I'll post again before I leave in the morning.
Regards Martin.                                                    

ill try and get up there regardless , not sure of arrival time yet , I guess around 9.00 ish

poor old gerty  is naked inside the fairing  as I found a broken antler mount  which I'm trying to repair  but ran out of time , replacing the gearbox on the tin box .

I will be there early hopefully. I'm working all night.

If you guys would like to catch up let me know.

heading off , in the rain , should be different up there I guess
just local showers by the look

About to head off on the Brick.
Regards Martin.

Just got back from the swap meet, I caught up with Charlie and John who eventually arrived late having slept in. A fair bit more brick stuff than previous years. Both Charlie and John got some good deals. The weather wasn't too bad on the way up a couple of showers but not enough to bother stopping and putting on the wet weather gear. Rained a bit at the meet but not enough to put a damper on it. On the trip home again a couple of showers but still not enough to go for the wet weather gear. That was until I got to North Lakes and decided to pick up a couple of things from Aldi. As I was walking back to the bike with my purchases the heavens opened and within a minute I was soaked, I hate soggy jocks. I enjoyed the day and can now put faces to a couple of names.
Regards Martin.

It was great to meet you and Charlie as well Martin.

I didn't sleep in because I wasn't in bed. I just went to sleep on the lounge after being awake for 24 hours.
It probably saved me from spending more money.

martins black 75s  is quite the picture . with a few favourable comments from passersby  whilst we were hanging round


hit a couple of rain events on the way up

I talked to a couple of the guys with k100 stuff for sale ...who had brought just a small sample of goodies along ..perhaps they may bring a wider selection next time ???

on the way home I guess I hit one of  the big storm fronts that martin was referring to ...about Caboolture  pretty heavy stuff ...and later a few more fronts came in along the way ..not all bad at all  behind that big rt -lt fairing , same as usual just knees  and lower soaked  through , wasn't going to stop for wets to put on ..

 a good day out ..I recon

cheers guys
