STEEL HORSES CHRISTMAS PARTY - Sunday 3rd December 2017.
Despite the threat of bad weather, the annual Steel Horses Christmas Party was a resounding success, with a great time being had by all! Held under a huge pergola at White Cedar Park on the western slopes of Mount Glorious, it was the perfect location for this very enjoyable gathering.

It was a dark and stormy morning; but we donned our wet weather gear and set off from Yatala heading for the Rathdowney Pub for smoko.

It was a valiant effort, and we had good day despite the weather. Ride Captain: Steiny. TEC: Pyro.

STEEL HORSES FRIDAY RUN - Friday 20th October 2017.
Those Steel Horses members who regularly attend the breakfast at Springwood Suzuki each Friday morning decided instead to go for a ride to The Barn & Scotty's Garage at Upper Flagstone (south of Helidon). It was a good run, and it was very interesting seeing the fantastic museum that is Scotty's Garage with its extraordinary collection of cars, bikes and other memorabilia from the 50's & 60's. Of course, those years were way before our time; but it was educational to see how people lived way back then! :-) Ride Captain: Ace.

JAK'S CHARITY RIDE TO TASSIE - from 11th October 2017.
Jak's Long Ride to Tasmania was part of a fundraising effort by hundreds of bikers raising money for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia. Leaving Brisbane on 11th October, he sailed to Tassie 3 days later on Friday 13th! Except for rain on 1 day, the weather for the rest of the trip was great. Jak was camping all the way, so the warmer weather was appreciated. After 7 days in Tasmania he arrived back in Melbourne, and finally headed home to Brisbane. (All photos taken by Jak.)
