He is biggest, hairest, scariest man I've ever seen. Nice bloke though.A coouple of mates were training past big Dave's place (the axe in the log out the front is a bit of a giveaway) one year....and he was in the front yard! Invited them in for a beer and a snack. Top bloke.
Oh yeah.....Danny Clark's singing. God awful. What is it with Tasmanians and no sense of embarrasment???

After some bike and body ping pong trying to steer thru the rocks, I went OTB and smashed up my helmet and colored my arm purple (through the armour)!
Lucky to get away so lightly!

I wonder if Cooke, Mcgee, Renshaw, and Wilson will hook up on any training rides with Boonen now Boonen has moved to Monte Carlo.
I know Saul Raisin and Lovquist are also there. Doubt many Belgians are there. This is the big question mark over Boonen's move. Not a big question mark, but he will need to find a few training partners, should not be difficult. But the Aussies would be four of the strongest in Monaco/Monte Carlo.

And am I couriering a silca? If so let me know and I'll drop by sometime on the weekend to pick it up.
