Took the Ranger for a run to Mittagong on Sunday, with a mate in an old, worked Volvo who wanted to have a look at a local car show...
We took the ladies along, figured we'd park up, have a look at the cars, wander to the pub for lunch, have another look and trundle home.
Wrong!
The Ural was swamped with onlookers from the time we arrived. Actually waiting 3 deep at times to have a closer look or to ask questions. Some old ladies wanted their photo's taken on it, along with quite a few kids... Fletch from the TV show "Classic Restos" comes over to interview me and film the bike; and then the reporter for the local newspaper for a couple of pictures and a few words...
Never did get to the pub for lunch. Pretty much talked solid for 4 hours. Barely got to look around the rest of the show...
Must get Jon to send me some brochures before I do that again! |

After 5 years of that, you just say, "naaah mate, not mine. Don't know where the owner is, and then head to the pub".  |

Sad note! I heard that the yellow machine didn't make it to its new home ok. According to a local Ulyssian, he saw it(on the trailer, still- good tying down!) on the side of the road- on it's side. The trailer apparently rolled, and the outfit slid along the bank. Don't know what damage was done, but sounds like screens, mirrors, bars, headlight and more.  Just backs up what I already know- shouldn't have let it go! |
