This weekend Hubby, me and some of our friends went for a "real" ride (it took longer than an hour and we actually left sydney!) and headed up to Dungog, were the Central Coast American Motorcycle Club were holding the Thunderbolt Rally.
What an awesome day! There was bike shows, demolition derby, motocross, hot rods, a tattoo show- which I decided to enter in- and heaps more stuff.
I entered in the Ladies big colour tattoo and the ladies arm category and was amazed when i got called back up as one of the People's Choice favourites, even more amazed when my number was called out and I got a massive cheer (to be honest mostly hubby's mates! thank god there a loud bunch.) I was amazed when the judges asked everyone else to leave except myself and another lady who had an awesome back job. unfortunately just as everyone was asked to cheer for their favourite, another friend of ours was competing in the demo derby and most of our boys walked out to watch him, cept hubby, his best mate and a few who cheered me on really loudly but unfortunately just not loud enough. Anyway I walked off stoked to have come second out of 10 or so women (some with amazing artwork imo) and was proud of myself for even getting up there! Just as i was about to walk out of the tent and drown my sorrows with another bundy, the most surprising thing happened, I heard the words "Judges choice for Best Ladies Arm: number 62, Sarah." I nearly fell over! I have NEVER EVER won so much as a stuffed toy at the easter show, and now My tattoo had been chosen as the BEST!!! And i have a plaque that reads "BEST LADIES ARM 2011"!
I walked around with the biggest smile all last night and still cant wipe it of my face! Id rather have my little red plaque than any stuffed toy!lol.
If anyone gets the chance next year, The Thunderbolt Rally is a great day out for all ages. There was camping available on site, plenty to look at, great live bands, fireworks and well worth the weekend away for $25pp!
