Yes Charlie, those insects are a real pain.........I have to scrape them off my rear numberplate when they mis-judge their overtaking!

Lovely landscape.

Paul.

too funny paul....giggles



itching to get out and about ....after a big few weeks of work

i guess ol gerty deserves a clean up before hand





getting ready for a ride tommorow ...hmm wonder what alby has been up to ?

nice easy 500 k + ride today ...

rosebank, gatton , highfields , crowsnest (never been there) ...coyer, maidenhead? kingaroy and back by the esk fernvale path ......

\feel much better now





heads up ....christmas ride ....

seems some of us have to work over the break but for others could be away with relies etc ....so i though about the weekend before new year ,so that makes it 30th or 31st december

maybe something a little different for the brissy and nearby folks

how about sunday to "drake pub" for a good lunch

thats via beaudesert mt lindsay woodenbong and all the little country towns of urbenville bonalbo etc ...out to the clarence then the super nice high speed corners of the track from tabulum up to drake .

either up the hill to tenterfeild or if your adventurous ..back down the hill to casino ..kyogle ..murwillumbar, numinbar valley to nerang then home

just a thought ....

if i got some interest ill post up a new ride thread

hows that ?

Keep me in mind. Sounds good.

Can see ya there and ride back maybe if you come this way

i feel a need to go fishing ....with all the glorious sunshine around ,,,itll be a good day down by the tweed ...prolly end up at a bream hole ...but its the sport thats the draw .. oh ! the "serenity"

planiing some bike work before crissy and a few maintenance things like diff and g.box oil change.... before the get together at drake

have a brilliant day whatever your doing ,,,, all free to join in if you have the time ....for me its a break of one day before the panic ...

...with all the glorious sunshine around

Do you realise what you are doing to us Limeys.....

hoping to enchourage you guys to get out more, when the oportunity arises ajays

not having a go mate !

its what we call normal round here ....btw extreeme tides predicted today and tommorrow ...something to do with the weather patterns ...and extreeme storms for later in the week

this is what we have been getting lately ...weird indeed

To true Charlie, just checked the weather and forecast is for 32 deg C today and 34 tomorrow. With temps in the 30 degree mark all week and storms forecast for most days. Looks like a warm lead up to Xmas again.

Hope you had a great day fishing mate, I cant do it myself cos I can't sit still for long enough to catch anything.

yeah thanks bert ...

found a little hole by the river .....was nice







but found a fantastic windy road from numinbar valley to mudgereebah

verry reminiscent of the old roads up the highways of many years ago ....galson gorge and all that

</A>" border="0" />

love those squigly lines............................

lots and lots of 30 kph signs (sugested speed) and a couple of surprise one lane only bits ....awesome

easter weekend is upon us

anyone home ? and up for a short run into the hills on sunday or ?

Pm sent mate. I'm in

Humph mine is in a million bits chasing the usual problem but I'm hot on it's tail this time.

What's the usual problem mate ?

dont go busting a gut to get it all done in a big hurry






cheers !!!!

Charlie - have you left off the lower fairings on your RT? Any chance of some pics? I'm actually thinking of doing that too.

Opps, Just saw some earlier in the thread! Cheers!

Been ongoing but a bit intermittent since I put it on the road. When I take off it will drop back onto 2 cyl till I get to 3200rpm.
Goes fine on the hwy just purrs along. seemed to be electrical in that from the first time it went away after fiddling with coils and other elects but now it turns out to be a poorly adjuster TPS (which works different on a K1100) and very out of sync TBs because Motohansa in Sydney did some work on it for the PO who I contacted and he confirmed it.
When I put it back on the road I thought I had fixed the problems it had from then but apparently not.
I just put a complete different set of TBs on and a new ignition amp and I am waiting for some parts to arrive from Motoworks.
All should be good for Narrandera

good to hear rick....

good luck !

al if your doing the remooval of the fairing lowers ..please look for my upgraded fairing mount brackets easy to make ,,,

they will assist in holding the fairing more stable and you can save the original brackets till you fit up the lowers again , not that you will need to . you will find that the originals will crack without all the other suport gear .

just a heads up

proposal 1

glorious ,,,,dayboro ...mt mee....woodford ...peachester range ..."blakeys".(to see bargearse)... old road (off highway) back to caboolture

any other ideas ?

dont mind doing beaudesert to mt lindsay ...kyogle ,,then across to murbah and numinbar valley ...perhaps the turn up the hill over to the back of mudgereebah some awesome twistys all the way

let me know what you think !!!

Mate , any saddle time is time well spent after six weeks off the road. Even down to the servo for fuel has an appeal.

Going slowly mad here.....Been DAYS since I went for a ride....a quick loop Guyra-Glen Innes-Inverell then home via Tingha for lunch might be in order. :-)

Thats the way Sean, I'm sure Bella , like any child is pining to get out for the weekend.

Oops, went a bit further than planned....Guyra-Glen Innes-Inverell-Bundarra-Armidale-home. Ah well....yer get that.....

woohoo ...onya seanii !!!

hope you enjoyed the outing mate looks like you had some fine sunshine ol mate .

had a bit of a scare today ...thought i had a blown head gasket .......lots of bubbles comming through the cooling system ......let it settle for awhile overnight ...and refilled the tanks ...all good ...pheww !!!

nothing heard from the mates around here for tomorrows ride ... except for nathan (beanolboy )

i know alby would love to get down ...(saw him last weekend actually ....forgot to send him home with a new regulator for the power supply ...bugga !!!) but he was tied up with a roast ..up in the bush .. and rick is out ,,havent seen blakey... must be away with family stuff

so the option might be best to do the mt lindsay trip ????

what do you think nathan ?

paul you about and available ?

was thinking beaudesert road bp just past browns plains on the way south about a 4 or 5 hour trip

8.00 am ...too early for a sunday ? hope we get some sun on the way

Rain and thunderstorm, possibly severe. Reading the bom website as I type mate.

should be back by 2 at worst

most of the storms come in after 3 ...um usually

ill be at the bp ...rain stuff onboard ...just in case

I'll sit out mate , I rode all day yesterday and today.
You'll miss the storm , have a great day.

k ...have fun nathan

where did you go ? pics ?

Charlie, I did Mt Lindsay last weekend on the way to Ricks.....

I'm going to do my local ride tomorrow.....

Beenleigh - Canungra - Clagiraba - Springbrook - Beechmonts - Canungra - Beenleigh.... plenty of twisty's...

Something like this Rosco......

I do believe I may spontaneously combust if I did...apparently weddings funerals etc are exempt....I am probably doing as I am told...and when she who must be obeyed drops her concentration I am off in a cloud of smoke....just local i would imagine...

Down to the local was it Klompy, thats not a long run, no twisty bits.

Enjoy your day out everyone, cheers Ed.

was a great ride ..took some roads that i have never explored before

for paul he found a new route to do his circuit

we found an amazing panorama ...just close to the goldcoast that we didnt know was there ...lots of exclusive and expensive homes up there ....and the scenery ...brilliant ...you can see the whole gold cost at your feet and i guess just a few minutes to the beach if needed ...unfortunatly we stopped a little too far down one side of the hill but you get the idea (ill take a better pic next time through )



part of the new for me scenery at "beechmont " ...take off area for hanglides and the like ....amazing





the maddison clad girls and paul ...



it certainly is a nice run ...a bit over 200 ks and a few hours in the saddle including stops ..

good to get a twisty ride in

Nice work. And a fine day too by the looks.
Just as well you had that ballast those panniers on Paul. Must have made a difference to the ride

Listen here Rossco....... I had provisions in my panniers to last me for days, just in case of some sort of unpredicted natural disaster left me stranded in the middle of no where for days on end.......... glad I didn't need' em.

Well done guys, looks like a top day had by all.
great views from up top, nice.

just had a life raft ...and a YELLOW garbage bag in mine ....grin
