Was an awesome ride today guys well done to all who made it (to the end) lol.
Very little rain after warkworth, and a good time had by all, special mention to morcs who did a brilliant job with his pillion, very cool to see Vagrant and Warlock out and about too. Sign me up for the next one Big Dog.

What a great ride. Thanks to all those who participated.
Certainly a different kind of challenge making what is mostly a solo sport into a team event.
Shame not everybody made the distance but those who did had a great time at each stop, even if there was some confusion about which "W" we were taking a break in.......
That Barmaid was hard case and the locals freindly, even if the roads were a little........ uncouth.
I had a blast and judging from all of the dopey grins so did everyone else. Must do it again some time soon.

Sounds like you guys had fun, bet it would be inspirational to all those riding along side your Busa (if they could keep up that is :lol:) but by the sounds of it you guys didn't get much over the speed limit and kept the 250s happy :D Well done, Any pics or videos by the way?

Target was legal. There was some exploring of grey areas in the interests of group safety....... *mutter mutter 4x4's, mutter mutter bmw's*
