awesome weekend away in the Northern Tablelands.
Bill resting up with the Barrington ranges in the background.
this little Krew gathered at Beresfield BP, and made our first pitstop at Roadies Cafe in Gloucester.
Tom , Bill , Ed , Warren C , and our GS friend Dave.
a quick break at the top of the Barrington Tops range.
It was a cool run up to Gloucester , but started warming up as we reached the lookout. not as hot as what was yet to come over the next two days.
Bill contacted me midweek , and was saying he was encountering problems with fitting his tankbag .
it is made for steel tanks . I referred him to Rick G's fix on the problem ,gluing steel washers to his tank, and as you can see , bag is fitted . I think he was still having some issue though.
lunch at the Royal Hotel in Walcha . NO PLAYING with the bike boys...... a bit on the warm side by now , an enjoyable none the less.
sunday morning muster at Riverdale. 8am sharp.
the run up the hill to Ulong. Smithy and Kay enjoying the twisty bits.
Kay , smithy and Charlie were our photographers for the day. some great shots captured.
Tom and his K75 at the Ulong lookout
thought I was still flying on my Brick
Charlie , Craig and Kay heading out of Bellingen , off to Dorrigo to see Juan.
this was another great scenic experience as we travelled through the Bellingen Valley.
in the pink.
the bikes nestled in for the night after a top day out.
a great job by the chef
, Warrens given it the thumbs up, what do you think guys?
my sleeping quarters on sunday night, a real privilege to be left to watch over the bikes for the night.
a quick morning workshop session on Ol" Blue, thanks to all. no problems all was good.
Warren and I headed home via Walcha , where we then went our own ways .
Warren found these cattle better to manouvre through than the bunny that played traffic control with him on sunday arvo.
I had a great run across through the Oxley Highway from Walcha to Port Macquarie ( or Wauchope if you can pronounce it ),
but this storm made it a bit hot and humid as I made my way along the coast for the 2 1/2 hour ride home.
I was hoping to outrun the storm , but it hit me 5 mins down the road.
made it to the Museum at 4pm, which is closing time . Never mind , another day perhaps.
As an extra , I fitted a longer leg support to the drawbar of the Kart. this was to trial it as a camera mount , as can be seen by the RAM mount on the upper portion.
I am yet to download the footage to youtube . I did experience some shake in the camera , which I expected .
But good advice from the krew back at Smithy's , will be to brace the pole at the top of the Kart.
all in all , a great few days spent with good company. thanks everyone .
