VICTORIAN REVENUERS 2

MY OLD BEEMER

This R65 gave me many years of good service both as a tourer and as a courier/work bike. The Garner's  put the sticker on the back when it  was in their North Melbourne workshop for a service. It spoke true so I kept it and made sure the photo was archived. I rode it till it began to fall apart.

One day, as I was outbound on Cotham Road, a bit past Genazzano, there was a loud bang! I thought a car had backfired, There was a clattering. My muffler passed me heading down the hill faster than I was. I thought time to die old girl. But then ... nah. A bloke in Moorabbin welded on a couple of racing cans someone else threw out. The R65 went  on for 11 registrations, loud and proud.

It's not waht you ride, it's that you ride.

CAMP OVEN COMP

LEON BRIGGS, the supporter of the Border Bike Fest who lent us his exaggerated Harley bike sculpture, is one of the organisers of the Cook-Off.  He said he would push the event out to our members. Hence my emailing this to you via Sec. Bill.

Please have a look at the web site www.kiewacampoven.com  There is a lot on info and it looks like a good day out.  So get that campoven out of the shed and start practising your country cooking skills.

I’ll be nominating this at the Ulysses Committee meeting for the ride committee to put the day on our ride calendar.

About The Cook-Off

The Cook Off is an exciting team event where participants will compete to be declared the Kiewa Valley Camp Oven Cook Off Champions, also known as The Champions.  

The Cooks will be required to cook using a traditional bush cooking method –  camp ovens over a fire or hot coals.  Your gourmet creation will then be tasted and judged by  (insert dramatic music here)… 

The Consumers.   The Consumers are a very special team of people, who have elected to take on the enormous task of choosing The Champions.

The inaugural Kiewa Valley Camp Oven Cook Off is being held in the beautiful hamlet of Tangambalanga.  Better known to the locals as Tangam, this rural Victorian town in the beautiful Kiewa Valley is the perfect spot.  It is surrounded by Mount Murramurrangbong, sister town Kiewa (just on the other side of the Kiewa River), Kergunyah and Dederang just up the valley.

When is it?

The festival will be held on Saturday 19th November, 2016.  Gates open from 10am and Main Course will be served to The Consumers (ticket holders) at 1pm.
