    You should chuck some street names in, to turn it from crude into pro!

    It has long straights and fast corners, a bit of towny stuff, lots of tight twisties, forests, ridges, ummmm cows? And maybe even a chrome headlight bolt somewhere on the way (we did see 3 speed cameras today though, so fast guys, you have been warned!)
    I got a few nice pics, but of course I cant show you all, cause that would spoil the surprise for next sunday!

    Even though the weather didnt look great today, it was a bit damp and spitty starting out, but turned more into a misty low cloud then rain as such, and by lunch was just a few clouds overhead.

    Mav
    Hope you got that bolt sorted Mav, like i said i'd hate to see your headlight fall off .. lol .. just to add gents ... it will be a great ride, weather permitting .. lots of things to see and some fantastic roads to ride.. It was a little damp on the scout.. but damn ... in the dry ... you guys are going to love it!!

    Yep all sorted, Got myself a small windsheild too for when the weather gets a bit gusty.
    Have made a slight change to the route at the end now that I have been advised of a supposibly more interesting final destination, but essentially the same
    How are the new tyres going?

    Yep, same place for lunch, just remember that wander off the plan we did? and that road where you told me that we should turn left?? well turn Right there instead!

    Yep, If I was buying a new bike I would have asked for an upgrade on the tyres.

    For the last learners ride, there were a few meeting somewhere in Albany for the ride to BP Botany. Anyone else from the shore (or there about) want to meet up again this time round?

    We are also going to need a fast volunteer for the 'not so Learner friendly group' if the turnout is anything like the last one.

    I think a lot of people are giving it a miss coz of the track day on Saturday though. It may be that the group is small enough this time that we can get away with one group.

    Swantiger has a rep for being able to go quick though maybe he'd like to lead the fast fellas?

    Just a thought.

    It means if you get caught speeding you'll just get done for the speeding fine. Not the speeding fine AND breach of licence conditions (extra $400!).

    Be happy.

    Who told you that bullshit? I'm not quick at all, it's purely the bike and its incredible 27 HP of pure tyre shredding power - Buy a Hyosung!

    I may or may not be there, the Girl friend and I organised to go for a ride this weekend with one of her work mates so I'll see if they are keen on this ride.
