Q&A Stephen ROSE
Typical weekend: Usually a ride on my Harley-Davidson to the vineyards for brunch or lunch.
And watching the Knights play footy.
Fantasy weekend: We're hoping to ride from San Francisco to Milwaukee for Harley-Davidson's 100th anniversary celebrations in the US next year.
Weekend read: Those legal thrillers by John Grisham.
Weekend feed: Doyle's at Watsons Bay is a favourite. The ferry ride across Sydney Harbour is almost as good as the food.
Weekend to remember: We really enjoyed riding around Tasmania. For some reason, they don't seem to have pot-holes. It was also fun doing the Great Ocean Road in Victoria.
Weekend to forget: Any weekend that the Knights lose.
- Stephen Rose is an architect who doubles as
president of the Newcastle West Rotary Club,
which will hold its inaugural food and wine
festival tomorrow on the Warners Bay Foreshore.
