BMW Club Vic Icicle Ride - 19th July - 20th July (Overnight)

Any of you guys gonna have a crack at the Beemer Club Icicle Ride this
year? I might. It's one of those things that you have to do at least once,
I reckon...

 

Yes I'll be there again this year.

But what do I use to keep my stones warm

Mix your beer with the Stones

 

kidneys

how many is that??

I could be half a chance this year..

mh

 

Well yes...

As long as it isn't VB!

Stones Mac or the weak stuff?


G-S

 

Friction... the same thing you use on the log near it!

I honestly don't know... I did my first and second one on my R65 and I
haven't had that since sometimes early in the 90's (I think that's when
I got rid of it).

Those ones left from the servo near the westgate bridge, it's all a bit
long ago sorry to remember much

From the BMWMCCV web page

"Midnight Saturday, 19 July ’till dawn, Sunday, 20 July ’08

Self navigate from issued instructions, or join a led group for a
leisurely ride(!)
Early registration*: $25 per rider, $20 pillion
On the night registration: $30 per rider, $25 pillion "

You have to do it at least once! And if, like G-S, you can't remember
just how much "fun" it was, then its obviously time to have another go
at it.

Not only that, but if enough people turn up and claim they are with
the aus.moto club then this venerable on-line institution will win the
biggest attending club award (BMW club not eligable), as some will
remember (but probably not G-S).

(yes I'm with the club, but may not make it myself)

 

I've done the icicle ride the last 3 years running Steve and I averaged
about every other year since the ones I can't remember

Netrider have won it several times, aus.moto haven't (and I doubt there
are enough melbourne aus.moto people to even go close!).

ahh... still remember how much 'fun' it is eh ;-)

If you rode past your letterbox that'd be 1

Weeelll, its more like "know your limits".
3am in the freezing cold and very dark countryside is not a good place
to find them ;-)

Last time I did the icicle ride we had to stop at 3am to take the liners
out of our jackets it was so bloody warm.
