OK, OK ......you're all sounding a little hysterical... you Fording pack of Pontiacing Bedfords......I wish I was there......I WISH I WAS THERE!!!!!!!! I know the exhilaration at the end of a salt meet, trailers full of broken things, new records...a bag full of dirty clothes and a shipload of new photos...
Firstly congratulations to Mal and his team for obliterating the old M/VG 1350 record , what a beautiful bike, what a nice bloke.
Secondly Ferd and Bill. I will get there, I hope you approved of our friends and that their behavior was exemplary.

Third.....Bill you're a blinkin' marvel the things you've done for us, we will repay you over and over.
Over and out from wintry Melbourne.................
