Well that’s it for the rally, a delightful & entertaining weekend hopefully had by all, ably organised & steered by Matt who had to crack the whip to bring the K rabble back into line on occasion, first up thanks Matt for your patience and dedication to the K cause.
I’m sure more of the crowd will post up pics & the like, hopefully I’ve remembered everyone who turned up. A grand total of 9 K’s were present at any one time, which is probably a decent number for our part of the world. K100RS 8V & 16V, RS MotorSport, RS SE, LT, K100 Basic & K75s & c models were all covered.
Sat morning had a decent turnout for a coffee before kickoff at the Dayboro bakery, with Matt & his Dad’s K100 RS & SE (having previously come up for the event a few days before on a 800KM+ run, respect Sir, respect
) Martin’s K75 hybrid, Mick’s & Gary’s RS’s, Paul & Jacko’s LT’s, my Basic, Alan’s Multistrada & Pablo’s Harley also being allowed to share pack space with the sacred K Kluster.
A run out through Mt.Mee, Woodford, the Bellthorpe range track (credible accounts of Martin’s K75 losing some stand length & flying sparks) Conondale and a first stop at Maleny where we had already managed to lose a few of the pack. On to Kenilworth, where Mick achieved a perfect 90 degree lean angle after being startled by an ambulance (how did they know Mick was coming?) Luckily net result being just a mirror to pop back in. After catching up with missing team leader Matt who had picked up Koos on his K75 enroute, all headed up the Imbil range with half the pack taking a sneaky squirrel route at a decent trot via the Imbil-Brooloo road to meet at the Imbil pub for lunch.
After a leisurely lunch some of the attending pack parted ways to head home with the rest of the overnight gang proceeding to the Borumba deer park to set up camp.
Damn that’s a nice RS....the big daddy LT’s not too bad either Paul
Just to prove even a usually immaculate K75 can get bugged....
So the rally? You really had to be there....needless to say many laughs & moments shared, drunken HOG riding bums falling onto tents, a Basic K100 dropped on her side
and a VERY early start by the “senior” members of the Kluster, OMG I don’t know what they’re on, but it’s good stuff...
This morning’s route home involved another delightful loop, taking in a few empty back roads featuring the odd cattle grid & seedy timber bridge, a nice hilly section with ski jumps via Ahearns Rd/Postman’s track & some duelling K’s back up to the Pitstop Cafe at Mt Mee for a late breakfast.
Book me in for next year!
