    Yip - Friday down to RuralMan's and usually try to avoid seal. You will know the route - Brothers Track, McKenzie Country, BlackForest, Danseys etc. If Dunstan Trail is still closed then we can hopefully pop over Onslow Rd. However one bit of seal you will enjoy is a squirt through the Catlins on Saturday.
    For me the Rally is just an excuse to ride back roads & to see new country. Getting pissed at the Penguin is just a perk!

    Sounds good to me. I'm keen to have another look at the Lake Onslow/Dunstan Trail country. I'll work on the leave pass.

    Onslow road is also closed between the Lake and the Old Dunstan Trail. I had a look at it yesterday and it made our last winter trip over the Dunstan seem like a bloody easy ride.
    Time to ride

    Don't forget that the Dansey Pass road has got steel gates on the bridges now and the Council staff just love to close them at every opportunity!

    They were closed for the pissed penguin last year and will need to be checked in advance this year.

    A local Cocky up there tells me a wheel brace is all that's needed to remove the gate! (but, who carries a car wheel brace on a bike?)

    The fascist state is whittling away our freedoms, piece by bloody piece!

    No incriminating pics so maybe it didn't happen.
    Anyway, I thought the barriers were just to stop cars & Harley Davidson's?

    Pathetic excuse sheeze & I'm working on being one of the Friday rabble if his worship and the Princess have a bit of spare floor space.
    Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!

    Keep me posted on your travel plans - I've never been through the Black Forest road and would be quite keen to do a loop up and join you.

    I was wanting to join the group if poss for an adventure ride down or more to the point around but I blew 4 hundy on Tard racing wheels for the DR today so I spent my rego money in one swoop, good and bad I guess.

    So with excuse book in hand I am gonna be a tar seal junkie and bring the Hypermotard again, would love to put some faces to the names at the rally and in fact I have prolly bumped into a lot of you anyway.

    So, me I am blonde bastid, bike is a black hypertard rego plate TARD, I have red spool leathers and Ducati Corse lid with a red hairdo .. can't miss that.

    Be cool to catch up.
