Northam Motorcycle Show

Saturday morning we rode early with Peter to Northam for the motorcycle show. Nice to be early before the arrival of the crowd, we got good spot to watch the stunts and jumps. Met Ian and friends from Geralton who were riding to Albany after the show. Which of the 3 bikes shall I get? the side car for a desert crossing or the Honda for the hills???

Operation BCc

I am very fortunate to have some good friends in Perth. Peter took me to the hospital early morning, the full moon shining over the city as we drove over the Swann bridge was a good omen. Unfortunately we could not stop for a photo on the Freeway. I was the first one to go under the knife, the anaesthetist was late, he had not heard the alarm clock, was he able to work on me? The surgeon, Barry, is a cool guy. He grafted some skin from behind my ear to plug the big hole he had to dig in my nose. Peter took me from the hospital to Christine and Jacques' from 'Le Forum'.
Their Freemantle house is situated in a quiet little street just a few houses away from the surgeon's; quite handy.
It was appreciable to have a comfortable bed and good food to recover.
Thanks to all for looking after me so nicely. I made some mosaics (see cool mosaics blog)during my recovery.

I feel safe at Peter's Place

Not only there are a multiple of locks on doors, garage, sheds...Cara,the mean dog is doing a great job keeping eventual burglars away and the chicken is looking after the bikes....

Bridgetown Blues Festival

Off we go to the Bridgetown Blues festival with peter and his camper van. It was cold but so many great bands, the 3 day week-end went too quick. We enjoyed the WA Blues Brothers, good to see that Bondi Cigar is still going strong, remember marc Evans (ex ACDC) and Dave Tice (ex Tommy Emmanuel) together they shook the audience.
Sunday morning Gospel with Wiley Reed was magic.

Bad luck!

If you have anything growing on your nose like this photo, get it out quick! it is called BCc skin cancer....have to stick around perth until the maintenance on my body is done properly. It is funny to think that the bike, which got new michelin tyres and a new air filter, is ready to continue the journey but has to wait for the rider to be roadworthy!!

Gnome World

Peter took me to the Gnome world....we rode our bike somewhere south, then inland through forests...lovely country, not traffic, no cops...
