Goodness gracious me!
I usually keep off the Hume as much as possible as it's too dangerous (I could die of boredom ...). From Tallong I normally go via Bungonia to Tarago.
I gather that you and PanzerBloke are at the Superbikes this weekend. Is BMW still taking part in SBK racing?
see **** does happen!My own near downfall - hence my mentioning it - was the aforementioned large herd of cattle spread out across the road, exacerbated by the large pats they'd left behind, on one of which I almost came to grief by rear-ending one of said beasts!:surprise: I have some pix somewhere - must lookemup and post...
I went to the shops for a few groceries (almost 47 litres ...) parting the traffic like Moses at the Red Sea as my new Daytime Running Lights burned holes in the retinas of road users in front of me. :grin2:
Needed to scrub in new tyres so had to make a trip to 'God's Country', the North York Moors. March sunshine is still pretty nippy at +5 C but the deserted roads make up for it. Not sure exactly where this is but near Blakey Bank at Farndale.
New Metz Z8s perfectly matched for my pootle, and a bargain with Roadtec 01taking over.
Popped up to see my number 2 son in Sydney yesterday, returning today. Took the scenic route up, via Bungendore, Tarago and Oallen Ford Rd to Nerriga, where the fog and low cloud finally cleared, then on to Nowra. I then picked my way up the coast and through the Royal National Park, stopping earlier at Kiama for a photo opportunity by the lighthouse, inspired by a pleasant young lady on her Triumph twin doing the same, her flowing locks of auburn hair thrown back for the pose. I dispensed with the latter for my photo.
Today my son and I ventured across the Harbour Bridge to Manly for lunch overlooking the beach before I returned home this arvo via the utilitarian Hume Highway.
Feels like I've been on a holiday - I need to get out more often.
(Doc - phone camera pics. Didn't take a real camera with me ... :grin2
Ran some errands today at the nearby town centre. At the lights on the way home a driver next to me was taking an inordinate interest in my bike, so childishly I slipped into Dynamic mode and gave it the berries in first and second when the lights changed. Wow - don't do that often (I don't mean be childish ...) and it was 'quite exhilirating' to say the least. Everyone should do that now and then - but maybe not in a 60 km/h zone. :surprise:
