"BORN FREE 3 BIKE SHOW" BY 'CLAIRSKATESALOT' ON POOTUBE . . . . SKATER CHICK CLAIR STITCHED THIS NEAT LITTLE POSTCARD TOGETHER OF LAST YEAR'S SHINDIG . . . . PERFECTLY CAPTURING THE VIBE AND THE MOOD OF WHAT HAS SEEMED TO ME TO BE THE BEST LITTLE GIG OF ITS KIND ANYWHERE . . . . THE BIKES, THE PEOPLE AND THE PLACE, AND #4 IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER . . . . BOOKING MY FLIGHT TODAY, BF4, HERE I COME !!!

THIS YEAR IT'S AT THE SAME LOCATION AND HOPEFULLY THE SUPER RELAXED VIBE AND FEEL OF THE THING WILL BE JUST AS COOL AS NUMBER 3 ONLY BIGGER AND BETTERER . . . . ALL THE CREW I KNOW WHO HAVE BEEN IN THE PAST TELL ME IT'S THE BEST THING UNDER THE SUN IF YOU'RE INTO BIKES AND THE FOLK WHO RIDE EM . . . . I'M ONLY GONNA HAVE A FOUR DAY WINDOW BUT I'M GONNA BE MILKING IT FOR ALL IT'S WORTH !!!



I'm also hoping to be able to say gidday to a lot of folk I've been hooking up with on the interblog anf netwebthingy over the last few years . . . . this love of old bikes burns deep inside my soul and has done for decades and it's gonna be a real highpoint for me, feelin like a nine year old again, and that's what this madness has always done for me . . . . maybe it's why I've never 'grown up', maybe that's why I've never had the 'midlife crisis' drama . . . .

Like a lot of you out there, never losing touch with the things you were moved by as a kid has turned out to be the secret, the key to living life on your own terms so as to never have to surrender the shit that is the centre of all you ever really wanted to be around . . . . ah, whatever, I'm just stoked it is what it is, I was never irresponsible or lazy, I was just never prepared to abandon the things that I held central in my world so I could fit into somebody else's . . . . as they, "Hold Fast", be true to yourself and the rest will follow. Peace.
