INDIANS RIDE DOWNUNDER

Tassi is nearly upon us, and this event is shaping up to be a good one. We have people attending from every state in Australia, two from the US and three from Sweden. There will be approximately 40 Indians and 60 people. This is a ride at you own pace event, which allows everybody to enjoy the scenery and the company.

Day 2 - We arrived

We arrived safely at Devonport although the sea was a bit choppy through the night. Everyone gathered outside the port to unload bikes from trailers and vans. About an hour until everyone was sorted then after some wise words from Chief Peter B, it was off the Ulverstone for brekky. After our breakfast some decideed that we will ride on to Stanley as had plenty of time. At this stage we broke up into groups and made our way through Penguin, Burnie, Somerset and Wynyard. Some stopped at the Ford Motor Museum at Wynyard, while some stopped at Sisters Beach or strolled along some other beaches along the way. The chair lift was a favourite at the Nut in Stanley.

Wise words from Chief Peter

Breakfast at Ulverstone
One Indian decided to brave it alone and rode to Tullah by 11am, then decided to join his brothers in Stanley only to be stopped in his tracks by a blown head gasket. This in turn earned him, (Peter Parsons) the :"tosser" award for day 2. There were other contenders who also had a blown head gasket and a cracked sidecar frame which is being repaired at this very moment by a handy local.
Everyone eventually arrived safely at Tullah and enjoyed a hearty meal together.
