Default Well trained

My girls came back from 150km bike ride (they are mad I tell you) very proud of all the Blitz's they found.
One appears to be in regular use, and they show a nice evolution in jibs.

You should be justly proud of your girls - you have trained them extremely well!
Two cab 12s on one trip is good going indeed.

Default What do they get as a finders fee

Your girls are definitely to be complimented, did they bring you the photos or did it take a second reconnaissance trip. They should get double the normal finders fee for bring home both photos and location.

Cheers

Rightly pleased with themselves, arrived home with photos, addresses and even a name.
Even some argument about the cab 12's being a real Blitz or not.
Finders fee has not been discussed!

Packet of chips and a soft drink each should do it. Oh, and perhaps an extra hour for reading or watching TV before lights out.

Rich,

Did they ride along the Great Alpine Road through Ovens? Photo 5 seems familiar.

Yes Rick, the cab 12 under the tree is the one that has been at Ovens for a while now. The other ones were new for me though.

What do you think the owner does for a living? The motto on his Kenworth truck is, " My business is moving your business".
