1, 2 and 3 on the Rainbow Road. Great pics on a great day on a great road.
4. Back at the house in Hanmer all in one piece, around 8 pm. Some guys needed to tap into the spare fuel, because after Blenheim the next stop for fuel was Culverden.

what a great day coundn't ask for better weather mined you i did hear someone say it was for the first hour or so wimps should have been like me & turned on your heated grips

we could have almost done with our aunty Helenoftroy the when our beast of burden decided it did not want to go around the last corner on the jollies pass road, looking at the bank thought better of it & let it lay down gracefully

no others offs were recorded but there were a large number of O moments aye Alison, Rob & Stu

but is was awesome day & as was the company a big thank you to Rob for standing at the corner slowing the traffic down in the hot sun & the team effort getting the beamer back on the road

Mrs SLR says it was nice meeting you all & have you washed the parachute yet Tony

just down loading camera

cheers Keith

Home safe guys. Damn that sproket was looking sick by the time we got here, chain was a little sloppy too.
Skid mark looks really impressive on the big screen
Great trip, great company, look forward to doing it all again

Does your F650 have the same problem as mine? Bearing moving inside the sprocket part of the hub causing it to throw the chain!

There's a tiny bit of movement in the hub, but not enough to throw the chain, I think the chain just gave up
