Not sure if this is posted here already, but it is a nice ride and they have a little fair going on at LR most years too

...just be very wary of the locals out there...form a circle when you arrive and DO NOT listen to the banjo's...

Damn! I'd hoped to come to this one but riding home from watching my 5 year old graddaughter play rugby on Saturday, the Bandit 'failed to proceed'. Electrical problem stopped her dead in her tracks. Got AA to deliver it too a shop but they can't look at it until Thursday. :(:(:(

All thanks to the Ulysses motorcycle club for organizing this event.
But the thanks also goes out to you the riders who attended.
Good road behavior by 99%, made for a pleasurable ride.
Only 2 Muppets spoilt the ride to my knowledge weaving in and out of the staggered bikes at speed.

Thanks to the local mounted police for adding to the colour of the event.
The destination at little river was perfect with a hot rod show, country fair, lots of stalls
and a huge crowd who were enthralled with the large number of bikes in attendance.

Was a great day out, nice ride over in a very mixed bunch of bikes and lovely weather to wander around the fair and drool over the cars, even if mrs doesn't share my appreciation of a nice citroen DS.

Even better ride home round the bays despite some interesting traffic, was thinking of a stop at governors bay but it looked rather chaotic with traffic, pedestrians and cyclists when I got there so carried on over the hill and home with a quick stop for rather a late lunch.
