The wet weather seemingly behind us for a short time at least, the day dawned fine and hot. A fair turnout of bikes arrived at BP Blacksoil for the ride to the bike museum, to be led by Ashley (Loan A Ranger) and Tess (Sparky). A good rollup was evident, and at 8.05 we all left. We took the Brisbane Valley Highway through Fernvale, before heading up through Spityard Creek and out towards Somerset Dam. The recent rains had improved the level of water in Wivenhoe noticeably, and the fields through which we were riding were a lot greener than the last time we all passed this way as a group. We proceeded right along to the T intersection near Somerset, and turned left to head back into Esk where we were meeting Lloyd, Margaret and Pamela.

A 15 minute break in Esk gave everyone time for a chin wag, before we saddled up and rode back toward Fernvale. A turn at Coominya Connection Rd saw us bowling through more woody farmland, and a left turn in Lowood saw us climbing up the steep switchback through Glamorganvale and on toward Marburg. At Marburg, we turned onto the Warrego Highway for a short jaunt to Haigslea, and the bike museum. We arrived at a little after 10.30 to be greeted by Wazza. who welcomed everyone by firing up the Chev V8 engined "Boss Hoss" bike which had been wheeled out to the museum forecourt. Max immediately dropped to his knees and began worshipping the God of Speed, and all present were suitably impressed by this awesome bike.

Much more greeted the group inside, with 180 bikes of all descriptions, make and vintage. There were bikes for all tastes, from streamliners and racers to trials bikes to road going sporties, as well as some very rare Japanese and British machinery. A leisurely barbecue lunch was put on by the museum for the group, and everyone spent a relaxed time eating and socialising after the vsit through the museum. At around 12.30 people began to trickle away, until by 1 pm the last of our group mounted their trusty iron horse and headed for home.
