Greetings from the Macedon ranges. When I bought my 1986 K100RS in april this year my friends said uh oh manopause (yeah I'm 60 next month) but the truth is I was two wheels up when I was 13 and rode until the 70's. My daughter had just bought a bike and while giving her lessons I got BITTEN! It is my first BMW and I am loving it, such an elegant beast. I have just serviced her and that was so fun.
If only the rain would let up so I can get back to carving up these country roads.

Welcome dowdytom
by the look of the weather radar today you will not be out on the road much mate.
Nice area where you are, I did my time down there when I was young and had a Honda cb500. Pulled more chicks with it than I can withe the K, must be the image or something.

Welcome Tom, I saw the name and thought that guy is another Aussie.

Bugger all to speak of, Dowdy.
There is a forecast for possible snow tonight and tomorrow though. After that it will be pretty much over for the year I guess.
That's a nice ride from here to Bellingen and back. I often stop there for a loaf of sourdough on my way back from Urunga on the bike.
Sean.
