RDU Batemans Bay 2013 Take 2

Saturday started out with Ann waking up Full of the Flu so she decided rather than make it worse stayed in bed to try and fight it of.
Ruzzle, The Kiwi, PeterK and I went about 90km up the road to Bewong truckstop to wait for the Pete.Triumph and Gra53 so as Ruzzle had arranged with them, it was beaut morning for a ride. We got back to Batemans Bay and were about let our visitors check in when the another to Rockets and a Bonnie arrived Mr DV8 leather himself Rcket65ride (aka DV8 leather), his better half Maureen, DavoScrambling and his over half Jo on the Bonnie ... so another picture.
I went Home to hopefully pick up Ann if she was feeling better but not to be Ann was getting even fuller of it and she (don't argue with an unwell wife) wouldn't have a bar of me staying home with her so I re-joined the others at the Resort which I might add were very obliging in letting our member park out side their respective cabins instead of the nearby cabin parking area, as I pulled in there were the Queenslanders just checking in as well Wendy had to stay home as her Daughter was not well (I hope I got that right) but Bubz, Viv, TezDog, Kim and Sue after all were settled in to there cabins we had a couple just a couple of drinkies and Pete Jo suggested a photo of me and Pete (DV8) that was an experience I'll tell ya, after a few drinks and chatting we decided that as the last evening had been a bit on the cool side that maybe the short walk 500 - 700metres up the road to the Catalina Club was a better idea I rang straight away and secured some adjoining tables and luckily I did as the Cat Club get very busy on a Sat night. I think I can say we All had a good evening meal (great value and great food) had a few laughs with everybody have a bit of fun stirring or attempting to stir each other and crushed up paper napkins finding their targets most of the time, Note to future RDU organising people keep Davo and Pete(DV8) close together so they not have to throw so far, mischievous blokes them two but great value, one of the funniest things were that we had at one stage somebody called out to Pete and three Pete's simultaneously answered, the look on their faces was priceless.
Any enougth of the chat here is a couple of picies I took with my phone

It was a shame that there were a few that couldn't make it but we managed to find a ring in as we were all gathered out in the reception parking area we got talking to Lee a visitor from Coffs Harbour and as it turned out an ex Batemans Bay boy who rides a Triumph Sprint so we invited him to join us and come to dinner with us, I think he was suitably impressed as he was about packed up to head of home to Coff's when he met us and promptly changed his mind, later in the evening he openly invited any of us if ever passing thru Coff's to give him a call so he could return the hospitality, I have included a snap of him and I have his number if anyone ever needs it

and some more, unfortunately the phone camera could not do them night shots with cabin path lights shinning on the bikes especially that beautiful Golden one, I also think the camera lense may have started to fog up a little, we seem to be experiencing a late cold snap (Warm by Canberra standards) but the days have been good:)

I am sorry I missed this one, all the timing was not right for me. looks Iike it's all going as planed. Enjoy yourselves as i am sure you ate and a safe return home to you all.
 
just got home from bidding farewell to the New South Welsh Men and Ladies, it just leaves the Queenslanders still here and they having a relaxing day doing their own thing before starting the long trek home, PeterK would have left sometime in the early hour as planned so I'll see him again the next time he is down to see his family here.
Here is some more pictures I took this morning, I had to include a picture of Mal's "Deluxe Kiwi in a Kamparoo Manor" like mine it is a very spacious camper trailer and easy to tow.
