    hi fellas, fairly new to the forums and really dig the photos of blokes out there doing it. I have thrown in a cuple of photos of a quick trip me and the missus just got back from. Photos are not the greatest as we forgot the camera and used the phone however ya get the idea.We left the ACT(dont associate me with the other asswipes that live there) and went down through Adaminaby over Mt Selwyn,Corryong,Beechworth,Glenrowen then down the Great Alpine rd over Mt Hotham and down to Lakes Entrance and then up to Cann river and back up the Monaro and home. 1300 ks and the weather was perfect didnt see one of the boys in blue and met a few decent blokes on bikes along the way including running into one mate from up the riverina who had broke a clutch cable just outside Omeo. I had forgotton how good the riding was down northern vic especially Mt Hotham and an old favourite of mine from Cann river through Bombala to the Monaro hwy. Was only a cuple of days and i am already planning a bit longer one with the boys sometime early this year

    anyone else got some photos of recent trip ?

    Hi Chriso
    I live in Mackay, the trip was down to Sunshine Coast/Gold Coast. But I wanted to avoid the Bruce Highway so I went the inland way, through Clermont, Blackwater, Gayndah, Monto, Esk etc.

    i bought the bike with the renegade wheels and the guard on it although im reasonable sure its custom, partly what attracted me to the bike was the lighter looking front end. It takes a bit of getting used to around town and at slow speeds but out on the road its great and handles well although i do need to fuck the air shocks off and put some decent progressive on it to make it that bit better. any sugestions ? anyone else had bad experiance with air shocks
