sounds like a real mission to me Loner.....

How far south on ur 250 virago (with board rack) are ya thinking of headding????
I ride a super bike and have done a coupla long distance sprints shal we say.
Any more than an hour in the seat and I cant feel my legs.
Man I commend ur enthusiasm and commitment to the love of surfing however stuff that I say. Welcome back anyways.

Oh and Loner, Im still waiting for my copy of ur cd's I won for "The Loner Avtar Competition" . Could'nt help but notice ur new looks there

Hi Kearnsy.
First off...how can we do this ? Apolgies, thanks for the welcome back.
I thought I offered my contact details to you and a couple of others re my CD offer but I didn't hear back. It was a long time ago so I may be wrong. I might check my old Forum posts. Anyway if you still have my phone number or my email address contact me and I'll surely do the right thing. My email address may be in my profile but I'm not sure. Maybe Laurie can help us with this one ?
If you're willing to devulge some kind of contact on line via this site whereby I can send you my CD by post I'll do it, alternatively if you'd like to meet me personally at a place of your choosing over a coffee or something I'll hand you the CD.
Not only that, as there may have been a misunderstanding on my part I'll give you one of my Lancelin Art prints plus a data disc of one of my surf art designs which if you want to you can have printed and framed.
My retitled Blues CD "Ready To Roll " will though have to be a CDR along with a data disc of the Cover art etc. My printer has carked it. And I don't have major label distribution. ( in my dreams ).

Re my trips down South on my motorbike ? I leave real early, take a full day and I don't exceed 80ks per hour for any part of the trip. In fact I sit on 70ks per hour most of the way. I stop often at small towns roughly an hour or so apart along the way for brekky, lunch and coffees etc.
I find it very enjoyable. I don't travel on the major freeway Kwinana through Mandurah/ Bunbury etc and avoid traffic. Weekdays the way I go there's very little traffic most of the way.
I stay at Gracetown but now with the bike set up I'll sleep wherever the waves are.
I've got a few " private " spots down there.

Cheers Kearnsy.

This sounds like another job for myth busters........... Hey how'd you go with your hose pipe around your leg rope idea? Are you still getting your leg rope stuck between your toes? Maybe try body boarding in the future because your out of control. The last thing i wont to see is you putt putting down south on ya Virago cruiser with a surf board on the side. I think you should strap a body board to your head and use it like a helmet, Safety never takes a holiday........

With the run of swell you WA lot are getting I'm surprised you've got time to site at the computer and type out these messages.

Doesn't matter what you take to the beach as long as it gets you there (preferably in one piece).

Thanks !

Great to see a return of some long overdue real swell. I'd just about given up.
Gettin' myself geared up for regular Southern sojourns on my 2000 Virago cruiser 250cc motorcycle with board rack attached. Hit the !!

Reading this brought back some memories. Managed to dig this pic out of my setup from around 1980. I would only roam between Avalon to Yanchep though, never tried a down South mission...



Loved this board to death too
Bike was a Honda 750 Super Sport, nearly killed me several times

Are you serious Loner that bike is nothing like a Virago Cruiser
