Well its hard to believe that is was 5 years ago this month when the Geelong RATs landed in Tasmania for the Triumph Rally.
It's still up there with the best 10 days I've ever spent anywhere and with the best bunch of people. A friendship was forged in those 10 days that will last forever. So to commemorate the 5th Anniversary I've dug out our theme song - remember the one Leigh told us we had to sing at the Triumph dinner but it never happened.
But, never mind, when we got to Strahan and after a few beers to celebrate Mal's birthday, the whole pub heard us sing it!
So here it is again - sing along if you want - goes to tune of Frank Sinatra's My Way.
TASSIE 2004 - Geelong RAT Anthem
Verse 1
And now that we're all here
I think its time that we should mention
Geelong the home of Cats and Triumph Rats too many to mention
We've road the Ocean Road
And scraped our knees on every corner
But more much more than this we're here in Tassie
Verse 2
And scrapes, we've had a few
But Trumphy takes us through it safely
The laughs, the jokes and fun
Our Triumph is our ole matey
We know we wont get lost
The girls they have their maps of Tassie
And Pete's out there in front
He's pretty snazzy
Bridge
Then there were days were some would go
Off road in dirt and through the trees
The corner came and disappeared
But little Dave was on the rear
The front wheel barely on the ground
He thought he was going the speed of sound
He wants to be like Bruce Anstie
But he must be dreaming
Last Verse
And now as I look around Its time to thank
Our friends at Triumph
Who brought us all here
As one, big happy family
We'll not forget this trip
Nor let Mal forget the kill switch!
But more much more than this
We love you Tassieeee
