Yip! His back protector had a nasty looking dint in it, would hate to think what would have happened if he wasn't wearing it. As it is he's got a broken lower vertebrae. I like my back a lot...

Well..........(melbournes) St Kilda thursday mystery ride sux - they just ride around the city through bumpy streets and stop at lots and lots of red traffic lights -the bike over heats, i overheat, left hand gets tired. though i was told last night by some of the regulars that it was a disappointment and its usually not that bad - so hopefully next time the leader will choose a less interrupted route.
I miss the ATNR.
BUT
i am yet to explore the mountains, i hear they surrounded by some awesome roads!!!!!

Awesome ride last ride Guys n Gals! Perfect conditions if not a tiny bit on the chill side but with summer just around the corner we will be able to enjoy the cool breeze of afternoon cruise!

Just a heads up for next weeks ride -

1. Since there is shiteloads of roadworks on the 'usual route' we might take a detour and head up to Walkworth (same route as the Anniversary Ride) BUt this will be WEATHER PERMITTING. Will annouce what happening the day before....

2. Tinted Visors. I know its getting brighter as we come into summer, however please take in to consideration that if we do the planned route for next week, maybe bring a clear visor since it WILL be dark after we leave Walkworth.

Lets keep our fingers crossed for good weather next week - I dont fancy riding over the roadworks and having my bike covered in lime.......

I headed up there after we stopped at Dairy Flat, they were just starting some roadworks north of the Puhoi turnoff....
