    Great ride guys,

    Other than the springer with minor ellectrical issues, one flat rear and a TV that kept changing channel, it couldn't get better.

    Good number of bikes, great places and views, and a few new mates. Cheers all.

     

    NO PARKING??

    What a view

    Wind farm in the distance

    Just one blade.....huge.

    Thanks to all that made it a great weekend. I think we had 4 jap bikes and 15 HDs for the ride to Silverton.

    Met a few mexicans and a couple of locals, Thanks to Lee and Peter (welcome to the forum) for showing us around.

    All bullshit aside, (and there was plenty) the Mt Gay went down nicely. 2 pub lunches without any lunch available. a TV that had "power" issues and Action's loudest toilet break are just a few of the memories.

    I will try to load some photos up. Cheers GT

     Thanks to everyone especially Tim, for organizing such a great weekend. I highly recommend The Grand Guest House to anyone traveling to Broken Hill, thanks Mandy for your great hospitality.  Lots of fun and laughs were had, even being the butt of the tv remote prank was pretty funny, thanks Jackson, the road side piss stop was a hoot too.  To every one I met for the first time, you guys were great. I hope to meet up with you all again in the future. I'm glad I brought my tubeless tyre repair kit with me, as it got Micks' Fatboy back on the road, when no bike shop was willing to help. That's what mates are for Mick. Thanks Nomada for the use of your Allan keys to tighten my pegs. Until next time guys, stay safe, and hope to see you all again soon. 

    Regards Ash.

    Just a bit of a follow up.
    My ride was harsh to say the least over the weekend. Something didnt feel right but I couldn't put my finger on it.
    Had the bike serviced, told them I had a knock in the rear. When I picked it ip they showed me that after a few compressions the rear wasn't coming back up fully unless it rested a bit.
    Ive got YSS cheapest shocks on the rear, oil filled, and one of the valves failed.
    As YSS is here in Adelaide, I took the shock back to them and they swapped the unit without fuss.
    So I'm now looking forward to the next ride with some extra travel in the suspension.
