  when i grew up from a child we had everything you could possibly want at our disposal..I learnt to shoot and got quite good at it..we also had acess to fireworx..being born in 1989 my little fella missed out on all that stuff courtesy of a few sick minded individuals who screwed up the whole country by their actions...along with the narrow minded Governements of the day. But one thing the national capital has over all the other states is that fireworx are readily available, just make up an address with the confines of the capital and bobs your uncle, big sales.So my young fella got his first taste of crackers...the mongrels i got him were bird scarers..and went off like a .22..and they had them wax ends that struck on any surface...Pete was in his element..he threw em everywhere..the problem was when Christine Sperling the head of HOG Mag America made her speech my son decided what a great time to set some off ...Have you ever had 400 people looking at you and the guest of honour glaring at you while trying to look innocent and pointing at a 10 yr old...I got ejected and was lucky not to be thrown out of the rally on my ear...so much for the crackers... You can see what i mean now about HOG getting too serious...

  The Thunderrun was a huge success for us and a nightmare for the cops...and my son enjoyed the whole experience...the weather turned on its end as it usually does up in Canberra and the clouds opened up and down came the rain..Buit that didn't stop Pete...who was soaking wet and still throwing crackers at everyone, who walked by....by the end of the weekend he had no dry clothes a cold and was miserable and had to endure a 5 hour ride home...I managed to get some of his stuff dry and i borrowed what I could to make him as comfortable as possible...rugged him up then. doped him up....tied  a sash round him and me and headed off into the gloom....it rained the whole way home..Pete had his head buried in his chest...the whole way...I think he slept most of the way home..and as kids are was bright eyed and full of vinegar..the minute I closed the shed door... then the shit started....Hey Mum..dad and i did this this and this, then this happened and oh yeah what do you think of BANG.....right in the kitchen!
