Fundraiser
Ok Tonguers. A request has been made for us to help support a fundraiser for Abused Kids.
the Squatter arms is offering Food and Drinks in return for an appearance on 9th SEPT 4pm - 6pm In their car park
During these hours Children will be lurking around, so upmost care must be taken not to
do anymore damage to them. Ive made it clear that the Kids cannot ride the bikes.
BUT if Tongue of fire feels we are just too damn BAD ASS dangerous, We could arrive at the later time of 8pm + as
bands will continue performing on the truck through the night and all the little ones will be gone home.
But food and drinks may not be available at this time.
So Who's Up for IT.? and what time slot?

MudButtMonkey & Gravy's Tallbike Convention
The ButtMonkey & myself have been casting the net far and wide for this one. Critical Massers, Vegans, Couriers, Lone Wolves and generally anyone who'll listen. Scunna be big, maybe 100+ attendees. We've found a excellent venue close to town which, for security reasons will be posted close to the date. Sunday 27th August. If we have to do it all by ourselves we will but some help with the following would be good:
-Bike preparation. Get the entire fleet operational before the day.
-Bike riders/guardians. Take a TOF bike and guard it at your descretion. Get it back to HQ.
-Bar keep. We plan to do a $3 donation-can of beer exchange.
-Event officials to judge jousting, foot down ,etc
-DJ/musicians. Sound system?
-And lastly competitors to take on the rest of the world and HUMILIATE THEM!!!
Don't be shy, givvus a hand and be part of a big beautiful thing. The time to give back to the Tongue is nigh.

Drunken Riding
As I understand it :
1.Riding a pushbike intoxicated is an offence and your car license can be diqualified.
2.You can be pulled over and tested if you appear to be having difficulty controlling your bike.
What seems to happen:
1.Police will generally leave cyclists alone if they seem to be in control, are obeying the road rules, are wearing a helmet and have lights at night.
My thoughts:
1.We ride bikes that attract attention and are of dubious roadworthiness.
2.We often seem to be out of control even when sober.
Therefore:
1.Wear a helmet, have lights at night.
2.Plan to be on a bike track for the most drunken part of the ride ( not, for example riding down Hindley very loudly and drunkenly on a Thursday night. [can you have more fun?])
3. If pulled over by the cuntstabulary be polite, complaisant and apologetic in a mildly suprised way.
All this may seem too hard and probably is but your license could be at stake.

snap shots
Some snapshots from thursday nights ride. tho the BMX track was wisely never reached fun was had! "Gravox" posing on Dennis Chopper, don't u just want to joust him in the head.
"Trixy Boy" who displaying super human piloting skills took the ringhorn in its maiden voyage, and then proceeded to take it off road/down hilling in search of UFOs, "what's his secret"? it ant a hemi thats for shore.
And right back at ya Lucy babe we got a photo of U! "StormBoy" and the StuntSpud interviewed and center of attention at the art exhibition, its art baby art, no ducks here.
B4 the TONGUE
We have seen them around, the old-schoolers, those solitary lone-wolves who were cruising the wilds on their own even B4 our gravox had ever picked up a grinder and taken that first intrepid step towards the Greaser. Thursday nights ride turned up one such rare and quite sociable gem in the form of "Jimmy" a peddle powered oneman band. His home built wheelchair trailer gained approval from our supreme overlord and fellow tongers, utilizing a fine display of bastidized headstems&bike parts + creative but solid wielding. Timmy fitted right on in and accompanied us on the rest of the ride, A big fan of the choppers say Hello to him if u see him about.

Arty Art Art
Evil K , on the brink of becoming a Tonguer, is exhibiting "Stormboy" the Funkbucket44 style chopper, built by Gravy and himself, at the (gasp) EAF as part of a group show. The opening is Thursday 13th 6pm. Tongue of Fire will be sending a special envoy to make sure things get out of hand. We were heading in to town anyway.
