Piggy's Nom Ride
by Strawb
On Saturday 7th November, 2006 I planned my Nom ride through the South West.
Piggy met up with Trapper, Mr. T, Netch, Pilot with friend Brian, at Caltex Midvale, Pitbull, Clarkey and; a couple of friends stopped on their way to the TAB to say Hi! They were at work and had just ducked out to check the consistency of the colour of the bricks at the TAB.
Meanwhile some time later at the Caltex Baldivis, Pilot and Brian, Bear, Rolly, Slick, Trapper, Mr. T, Strawb, and Netch, chatted until it was obvious that no one else was coming. Bear, Pilot and Brian wished Piggy luck andbid us bon voyage.
We set off heading south to Bunbury, stopping only at lake Clifton to take on fuel of the amber type, trouble was we sort of got comfortable. We had a bit of a chat and had some more fuel, (unleaded of course) and chatted some more. Part of the discussion was with the barmaid (5 cougars please) as to why she took off her really short skirt andput on a pair of bloody jeans when she heard the bikes roll up.
We rang JT and co. to let them know that were on our way, and met up with them at Shell gateway just north of Bunbury. Some of the guys had to fuel up (the bikes this time, -unleaded of course -) JT and Rhino, led us to one of the sleazy pubs where we had some food and lemonade, Which was so off, it was amber in colour and tasted like beer (unleaded of course).
While drinking this disgusting amber liquid, some guy named Stano (who happens to own a pub, invited us all down for a drink and to look at a couple of barmaids who like to catch your attention by not wearing much…….up top! We declined the offer because we are responsible when we wear our vests, plus we had found our way back home.
Rhino (bless his little heart)and JT escorted us out of town via the Australind hotel where we had to fuel up again (yes, unleaded),
We said our goodbyes and set off north following Piggy, although Trapper wanted to Turn right somewhere, ‘cos he kept his indicator on and on,and on for a couple of K’s, TWICE!!!!!!! Strawb obviously had a sore saddle ‘cos he was seen sitting on the pillion seat, feet on the back pegs, and on occasion standing on the back pegs leaning forward stretching his legs.
Slick wanted to be a movie maker, trying to take pix whilst moving. (Don’t know how good the pix will be).
When we got back to the lake Clifton, the 5 cougars barmaid had gone home, (bugger ! ), but her dad was on duty and as luck would have it Strawb went to school (apparently ) with his brothers in Yarloop, so Mr. 5 cougars shouted us a jug (unleaded of course ) .
We managed to find our way to Slicks place, just after Rolly had left, then to Bears place, and by this time Trapper and Mr. T had left to make their own way, just leaving Piggy, Netch, and Strawb to find their way home. Strawb showed Piggy and Netch a short cut (yeah right!!!!!!!!!!).
Oh did I mention we didn’t get to NANNUP. !!!!!!!
