40 years ? Sh#t, uh 68 Bonnie chopped and raked with a 6 over springer front, multi colored "buds" in bongs and every manner of consumable magic mushrooms, peyote, and hallucinogens along with manufactured trippin stuff. Can I go back now ? Life was so freakin simple then. I was 18 and indestructable but it didn't stop me from trying. The girlfriend was a half cherokee princess who still looks like Rita Coolidge today(I regret leaving that one) and I was letting my freak flag fly. Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin, The Stones etc etc etc.

Now its pain meds, bad knees, bad back, bad mind etc. My abuses did not lead to heroin addiction as the government might suggest BUT, the Bonnie did lead to my TRIUMPH addiction from which I still suffer. The women roll in and out like the rain. I think the current will be the last woman and TRIUMPHS.

Aratula and Purga Creek were bad enough .. take my hat off to the blokes that ran the gauntlet back from Bathurst. There were great days .. wine (brandavino or Stones) women (usually someone elses) and song (backstage was a dangerous dangerous place ) .. really don't want to do any of it again though.

Oh Dear - Brandavino was rugged stuff - I'm re-living my teens now. I think it was $2.75 for a 750ml bottle

Put hairs on your chest .. even as a 12 year old . The person that invented that stuff ought to be brought before the Haig Tribunal for crimes against humanity.

Looks like I missed out on something special back in 1985.
Love the old pix, Bruce!!!
In 85 I was on this motor riding the Flaming Gorge to Vernal (Rolltide country).
