On Sunday 24th May some of the UK crew enjoyed the last club ride before departing overseas. The Flowerdale Recovery Ride was organised by the IMCA and Phil White to aid the bushfire stricken town of Flowerdale to rebuild. Over 25o motorcycles turned out and $6,500 raised. The weather was great and a good day for all.

The Farewell Committee

Frank says its all about Fun... Fun... Fun...

A sigh of relief from the committee

The motorcycles were tied to a steel base and frame which was covered by a box. They were loaded into the container with the forklift and piled two high.

The Journey Begins.........

The 20 motorcycles were crated and dispatched in a container on May 4th ahead of the touring party which departs by 6th July. It was a bit of an arduous task of packing. As you can see some of the bags, bike gear, tools, camping gear had to go with them. Check out the truck squeezing into the laneway to drop and pick up the container after being packed. Then the happy committee sendoff.
