Did'nt think anyone was riding today, no mention here today.
Damn, felt like a blast, have a new rear tyre to run in.
Definately tommorrow, anyone riding tommorrow, Sunday?

Thanks Warwick, but we have one.
Its probably a combination of the car sitting unused for about 6 mths and the battery being close to its use by date...if it has a decent run it should be fine, I hope

That was alot of fun.........gotta love the Goat Track. Nice to have you along Cindy, certainly a change to have the R1 as the 'Guards Van' Just need Mrs 'G' on the back George and we've gotta real "Fambly Affair'. Missed the rest of the Mob....was a lovely day out there Cheers W

What a glorious day for a ride.

A mate and I went for a blast to Anza in Palmy.
Pretty sedate pace on the way down, but made it back here from the shop in Palmy in just over an hour on the return trip
Lots and lots of bikes on the road, and they all must of been in good moods as it was waves for Africa!

Kudos to Anza, always professional, and the amount of people there!
They had about 14? demo Buells and Harleys that people were taking out in a group it seemed about every half hour.
The thing I noticed was that nearly all the people there, and those that pulled in and went......were almost without exception aged 40 plus. I guess the classic born again biker???
Good to see tho.
Hard to tell if I recognised anyone as it was like a giant blowfly walking around, a mass swarm of black! (Myself included)
Only saw about 3 Jap sprotsbikes parked along the road which was completely taken over both sides with bikes.
Quite a few Jap cruisers too, and saw my first Suzy M109 in the flesh, what a monster!

Anyway, it was the first time I've taken the Duc out of town as such, and lack of riding recently, made me wish I'd pillioned my chiropractor there by the time I arrived. Damn arthritic broken bones I have ached like hell.
Bad time to see the selection of cool naked bikes there eh........

Nice to see you had a nice ride Tony, I went for a spin to the summit caffe one of my mates rang me and said they had stoped at TePohue so I said I would blast back to see them. Silly thought got pinged comeing down the hill into TePohue managed to slow up enough to get off with 134k, cheeky bloke was hidden off the road around the corner at the bottom. Just got a glimse of the side of his car and hit the anchors. Cheeky Mr Policeman said it's my lucky day cos I'd braked enough before his radar had locked on and he told me I should be walking home, not bleedin likely I thought.
