Sounds like a plan.

Might want to remove your personal email address before google grabs it and it is listed all over those other trashy sites.

Typical %^&*#^ Sydneyites.....nothing exists past Hornsby in NSW.
Can't ride out of latte range I guess.

I am sure there is always room at Casa Del Rossco or the Klompy B and B should you wish to visit the big smoke....

Always good to see bikers doing something worthwhile. A good cause Klompy.
Cheers

Good one Klompy, great cause I'm sure , Trace and I are registered for the Central coast ride, if any one else is interested?
hopefully all rides providing a good day out.
If you get the opportunity check out the original ride story in the recent Aust. Road Rider. a good read.
hopefully the ride will take us along the coast route,

Got ma ticKet.

excellent mate...bringing a pillion to carry the dog?

double sided tape.
or a sidecar?

Et Tu Rossco....I haven't told the boy yet that he is carrying a large black dog for the ride....be a surprise for him.

as will the support staff....

I thought they were just gettin practice at giving us old folk our medication.

You could put it that way....

Just discovered my son is double booked for Sunday so I have a pillion position available for the Sydney Black Dog ride on Sunday...ticket paid for so if you are going and can only take one and want to take another let me know....or if your ride is broken etc.

Anyhow it will be a great run through the blue mountains in the company of 100's of other riders...the offer is there...PM me.

We ( Mrs Grover and I ) are preparing for the Central Coast leg of this ride, good luck to all others riding tomorrow, get plenty of pics people.
Tested our new camera last night , when Mrs G passed her 1st Dan black belt in tae kwondo , previously a brown belt.
Been wondering why I've been waking up feeling bruised and sore.........
anyway enjoy your rides everyone.

Sadly, no ride for me tomorrow. Have to head south to Sydney in the..........car. Sigh.

got me a spare pillion seat spot....you game young fella

Now theres an offer, anywhere for Bella Klompy?

Bella on the tank?

Did the young fella find out about the big black fluffy dog and pull the plug.

and of course Rossco's lovely Meg...

how was the ride guys,you look like you're having fun.
Klompy you found someone willing to risk the ride.good on you. all for a great cause.
the Central Coast ride went off without a hitch, over 800 participants,all well behaved and rode well.
captured some on board video, currently in my pictures ( media player ) not sure how to upload to the forum , any hints would be appreciated.

in the carpark at Bateau Bay, a lot of CHROME on display throughout the car park.

came across Colin and his K75S at Fly Point Park ( Nelson Bay). He was up from Sydney


Colin passed on some ride info that may interest some of the Sydney members

good to see some great weather for the day,it was a bit warm by the end of it, but a great ride had by all.
even caught up with Bundy and Tex.

Awesome day for a ride and got my first ever ride badge. Woohoo.

Warning. Photo spam.

Mr Klompy and myself. Klompy is happy as he had already eaten his bacon and egg roll.


More photos to come. Just to rub the beautiful blue sky into the eyes of those in the north (and yes I mean Queensland as well as those north of the equator).

More photos.

Mr Klompy looking impressive with a mouth full of roll and my co-pilot for the day, Megan, my youngest.

The crowd during the ride brief



Yes Mr K, that is what you look like to us.


And we are off


Helmet cam


Did someone say 'blue sky'?














Special camera angle to give the impression of speeeeeeed. Idiot in front on his can am holding everyone up. One of them had spider webs air brushed on it. Made it look really cool and mean. Not.


Mr K knows his place. In my mirrors.


Blue? Count the shades.


We did spot another RS in the crowd ,but he disappeared before we got to chat.

Great day. Great cause. Great bike. Great company. The seat was very average.

Well done guys - thanks for reminding us what warm looks like. Seems to be a very well supported event and for a great cause.

To help your gloating rossco, I've just heard that my Easter camping weekend has been cancelled due to rain and snow waterlogging the site.

Enjoy your blue skies,

This ride has become increasingly popular and is generating much needed support , which is great to see . 
Mainly held at various locations around Australia , there has been one ride also held in the USA.

here are some previous Black Dog events frequented by the forum Krew.
Black Dog Ride 2014
Black Dog Ride 2015
Black Dog Ride 2016

Black Dog events

looking forward to the 2017 ride .

I was up for the ride - however its the same week end as the Snowy so it will have to be 2018!

What say a change of date for the Snowy weekend in 2018. I would also support the Black Dog Ride if it didn't clash. However a long ride is always good for leaving that damn dog behind for a while.

+1 that.
I tend to think that Feb would be a better date for the Snowy run anyway.

Looks familiar , 
is that you mr Klompy in the 2016 Penrith ride? well done mate . See you at the panthers for this years ride. 

have fun ed ...will be thinking of all the krew on the roads during the black dog ride outs ..and on the way to the snowies ..

cheers guys
