Macca, works for SWG (Craigs “old” company) and is the least experienced rider but still doing well. His 10 year old Harley is also the least comfortable of them all. Poor guy really struggles a bit when it comes to riding but in the pub he is the Lord and Master. Funny thing is, next morning he is as clear as a whistle ready for another ride. Experience I guess !
Lards, works for SWG as well and has a Ducati 999 at home. For the trip he rented a Harley Road King and has no problem hammering it ;) Doing 90 or 100 mph is no problem for him. He rides like a bat out of hell trying to get back into it. Hooning is his favourite sport, loosing saddle bags, shredding tyres or getting bogged down in the sand is peanuts for him. His luck in chasing the ladies has not been as good as you would expect from someone with an Aussie accent, as that is usually a thing that gets the ladies all hot and bothered. Maybe they are afraid he is one of those venomous snake lovers like the Bushman.
Craig or Crackles, has retired (sort of) and is the originator of the tour as well as the big driver behind it. He is riding a Harley Road King, the Aussie Redneck II. The Redneck I was parked in a marina in California for unknown reasons ;). On this trip he tried various things to "test" his bike angel and the poor thing has had the hardest time ever !
Me, Eugene or Genie, I am the odd one out, not just because I am Dutch but more importantly
because I have decided to ride the most powerful production motorbike in the world, the Kawasaki ZX14. I bought it second hand with only 900 miles and a lot of power enhancing features, so I reckon 200+ hp is a fair number.
Christopher is our sounds engineer and does a lot of the driving of the pick up truck / ute. He is also the friendliest and easiest going person I have ever met. I love doing interviews with him, especially the ones in Dutch, he seems to understand every single word I say judging by his facial expressions !
Christophe is our American/Aussie/European rider (he is originally French) and rides a Fat Boy. Unfortunately he was not able to join from the beginning ro till the end due to lack of holidays. Annie, his partner, is riding pillion with Christophe.
Gavin is the camera man and is always looking for shots (visual ones that is). He tries almost anything to get a nice shot, and another one, and another one. He is mister Time Lapse himself.

Hi Genie !
Keep on entering your diary. It's great to read how things are running with the Aussie Redneck tour !
Christophe and I are preparing our stuff for Saturday departure.
Hope it won't rain at that point...
Take care and ride safely !
See you in a couple of days.
