Ride of Fire.

John Vandeven

Ride of Fire.

No we weren’t at the pub to drink.
4 Fire trucks were used to escort about 60 Harley Owners Group (HOG), members at the Ettamogah Hotel, near Albury, who had ridden from as far away as Cairns and Port Douglas to raise money for the Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund.
The riders were escorted into Albury and met by the Mayor, and congratulated for there efforts.

The ride raised abot $45,000
Well done fellas

    A great combonation John,
    It is nice to see the effort that people went to, to help others in need.
    This in mind, combined with a spectacular shot adds to the effectivness of you image.
    An idea for you maybe. . . .
    The pub just needs a few drunks sitting on the roof, some birds and a funny kangeroo or two for an easy pass off to the famous australian cartoon’s. lol

    Anyway Well done.

  • John Vandeven replied

    Ha Ha….Yeah I will see what I can do….Thanks heaps mate.
