Ride Report

03 July - Tony's AGM trip report

Sally and I (Tony) had a ball on our trip. We have included a few pics (with basic titles) to cover the many wonders seen and done on this huge adventure of a trip. When someone asks how was it? It’s like where to start we did so much and covered 3 states and 10,000k. So in brief:
We flew to Brisbane Bought a new beema 1200rt, we spent time with our son Mark in Brisbane suburbs, We drank at Bundaberg factory, travelled the mountains and coast of QLD, explored Townsville high and low, ate & drank with Members local and interstate, mined in MT Isa, Travelled the out back of 3 states, seen Croc’s, sweltered in 40degree heat, ate Barramundi, Been on river cruises, flown over the bungles, stayed in motels, camped some on grass and Dirt, become experts at packing the bike with a little more after each place, spent up to $2.12 a litre, worn out 2 tyres and badly need a 10,000k service. But best of all only had one day of light drizzle not worth putting on wet gear. Estimated cost I put around $4,000 all in total! Townsville to home Used 384 litres of fuel = aprox-$684 Or 4.81litre to the 100k ...Photos

04 May Barry's Ride to Bolgart

Hi Adam, This is Barry's ride to Bolgart, just a few pics (didn't have my glasses on)! A great day was had by all. Some members were trying out their gear for the long haul across the paddock to the East. After a bit of a hiccup to the start of the run, eventually everybody caught up with each other. At least we knew where morning tea was going to be! You could not have asked for a nicer day, and I think everyone enjoyed the run out to Bolgart, a sleepy little town north of Toodyay. A really nice lunch at the local then headed off to Toodyay with afternoon tea somewhere (we didn't go) so I don't know the name of the place.  A handful of us headed for home, whilst the others went on. Thank you Barry. Cheers Robyn

27 April Don's Ride

This weekend just gone one of our new members Don has put to shame some older one's and lead a ride to Brookton.  His mum Betty and dad Bluey put on a sausage sizzle and cuppa, to some cold riders it was very welcomed, as I am sure you remember how cold Brookton Hwy can be this time of year. So a big thank you to them. We copped a little light drizzle which kept us cool, but we were very lucky to miss some big rain patches that we could see behind and west of us. From there our ride was north to Beverley, east to Mawson, west to York to the new Bike cafe for lunch. Then home via Spencer's-brook rd and Clackline to avoid some road works between York and the Lakes. A good days ride enjoyed by eight tough riders. Regards Tony

30 March Ride & Decide

Our ride and decide on Sunday 30th march was lead by Graeme and Trish after he got volunteered reluctantly after the start speeches. It was a good ride thanks Graeme, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Shame that after no one at the start had any input when asked/given the chance to speak up that the speedsters decided to go ahead and make their own plans differently. Pics attached of the new part of the Kauring cafe. Regards Tony
