oh mate you shoulda come out with us on Sat. - what a great bit of road round te mata peak - loved it, farkin loved it

I had Bonez, 86 and NZsarge 's lines to follow at various stages through the back roads and they set a fine pace (as always), kahuranaki and elsthorpe rds are bloody spectacular, a bit bumpy here and there but thats half the fun - next time we'll have to do the reverse direction

well a few of us have it downloaded now, but with it being quite a few mb may have to wait to see it on KB.. 86 was a great model .. nice view from behind

I had no ones lines to follow ...

but when I caught up it was great to follow them lines

& I must say following you & 86 outta dannevegas was great could see you guys get hit by the wind before it hit me so knew what to expect ... does not mean it didn't scare me though

Got a few more routes up my sleeve for a future ride east. Obviously I'll have check them out first prior to a group ride, greedy I know, to make sure the memory banks are correct.

Ended up going for that toodle yesterday. Wind chill was, well chilly, so cut it short.

Hiya,
Sounds like a fab time had by all who made it out!!! Glad the weather wasn't too bad.

I met a really interesting guy in the whitsundays who is into dirt road exploring etc and is doing the Paris Dachau race in a couple of years. Good contact if anybody going to qld or elsewhere in Auz and wants advice on getting off the beaten track, with or without the family.

At last the Honda is with the exporter, crated and leaving on Friday.

Home soon
