Still here in Naracoorte Big 4 Caravan Park. Leave tomorrow for two days to get home. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed the get together on last night. Looking forward to all the "small" changes to the activities in IBA Australia. Cheers.

Vlad spoke about the "Premier IBA riders" method of documenting your IBA ride instantly at each stop (via Spotwalla camera with odometer & receipt details) for certification/approval.
Here is Skidoo presenting Vlad with his Naracoorte patch.

 

[Fatman]

Each year a "Piston Broke" trophy/award (donated by IBA Aus member, Frog in Perth from one of his Postie Bike engine experiments, this one failed!) is given to an IBA member to keep for the year and return it to the next Muster, it is usually selected by drawing a raffle ticket, Derrick won it this year and here he receives it from Skidoo

 

[Fatman]

Olaf, Fatman (me) and Ox are listening intently to Derrick. Maybe Derrick was telling us what his new toy, an orange 2WD Ural with side car was like?
