Riding in the Dandenongs with Boof, Bert and Roy was the best welcome to Melbourne a guy could hope for. And having a teeny-tiny camera meant I could capture some great shots like this one:

Heaven is a smooth, cool tarseal road winding through the forest on the side of a mountain, a warm man to hold onto, and a big reliable cruiser with a lesbian paintjob.

Of course, riding with a gang of black-clad bikers is part of the appeal, even if the abundance of personalised plates and pride stickers did kind of suggest that maybe these bikers werent exactly *heterosexual*.

I managed to snap a few incredible shots- this one of Bert is my favourite- see how shiny and crisp his bike looks, the blurry background, his pert butt.. *grin*

The first of those two is the best so far - shoulda posted that one up front :)

's cool being able to see your hand reflected in the mirror in a photographic stuffup kinda way.

it was a quick and nasty job on that one... the one at the top of the post is better, and in the versions I'm printing I used shrubbery from a completely different shot.

This is my kung-fu, and it is strong. Except when I'm just doing it to be clever.

Looks like it was a great day riding! Hot bikes, hot buds, hot Growler--what could be better?
Taking pics to remember the good time, and sharing them.
Thanks, bud!

Gotta love those asphalt twisty-curvies - and 600 pound steel vibrators are nothing to sniff at either! Looks like a fun day for you guys.

Well I finally logged on and had a look at your pics (onbiously I've already seen one!) - excellent! Thanks so much for the framed one, and your company on what was a great day. Hope we get to do it again in the not too distant future.
