Sorry Charlie, already committed this weekend.

Love to join you charlie but I am still putting mine back together and cutting fire wood.

Sorry mate...didn't get a year's notice.

good luck rick ....

hmm need a hand with the centre stand blakey ? um sunday am ? shouldn't take long .

Family commitments all week end. Sorry. Thanks for the offer.

Charlie if I were up there I would say yes, instead I'm looking at a Sydney trip on monday, hopefully with some of the forum guys
Al sounds keen.be good to meet up.
today was a wipeout due to Mrs Grover being called into work, leaving me to home duties.
ended up doing a bit more plastering.no not getting plastered ,but hanging plaster. quite relaxing.
Seans invite to the bike museum at Nabiac was sounding good too. Sorry Sean, hope your party goes well.
enjoy yourself anyway Charlie.

I am thinking of getting reverse cycle air conditioning as I am getting too old to be doing the cutting.

They're rather common up here............

well a great ride anyhow

did the reverse side of glorious from fernvale ...up the hill through the rain and low clouds .....and a little carefully around some of those 20 kph corners in the wet ....not many bikers on the road at all .

stopped of at the cafe and was chatting to some guys about the old ks ...was cool !

the down the steep decent on the other side to sampsonvale and on to dayboro ....

met an old mate at his new pizza place there ...(who i havent seen in 18 years maybe ?) and a good ol chat (he declaired in for a bush bash later this year .. with his husky )

up the hill to Mount Mee and the lookout for a pie and can of drink

looking north towards blakeys place



back down the hill to woodford and rejoined the highway southbound at caboolture

a bit of a tour round some of the new suburbs of northlakes and nerangba ....(suburbs in the now far north end of brisbane about an hour from home )

and home after dark

good for the soul ...and gerty is still thumping away ..

rear tyre is bald after 16,000 k (a lot of highway riding has worn out the centre ) so a new one will have to be got ....

Nice picture, Charlie!

Good to see someone is out this weekend.
Not many of the usual bikes passing through here either..

Nice piccy Charlie.



Damn...I must turn off that outside light too.

good to hear you got out Charlie, damn rain , just enough to upset the rhythm of things.
like yourself we managed to get out today , weather was good for most of it , and a late finish.
is that the Glashouse Mtns in the distance, nice riding up that way. some good lookouts up around Maleny.
suppose it's time to put the warm bed socks on and settle in for the evening with a good read?

Where's the blue sky???

Still a nice piccie, even with blaKey's glaring outside light!
