    Talk about a good night, and the ride, we will put that up later, my version of events and pics


    It's 09:10 and only Wendy and I are up for the 09:00 depart, I went to bed at 23:00 so the kick on must have come into play

    Finally home, arriving in a RAA truck from Pt. Victoria.....
    picked up Soapy and Wendy at Pt. Wakefield
    headed to Ardrossan to catch up with Graz and Pauline
    next stop Stansbury for lunch and a beers
    then onto The Howling Dog at Corny Point for fuel and beers
    final stop Pt Victoria. ( a couple off boys found out their top speed, flat out )
    few beers, bundys etc for the night.
    Wingers in bed at 9
    Bob is still trying to eat his boot leather steak.

    BUT in the morning, all pack engine fired up, and...... NO FCKN GEARS
    i'm guessing a broken spring on the return gear selector.
    rang RAA at 10, truck finally rocks up at 2.30, home at 5.

    Anyway, THANKS to everyone who attend, and made it a good weekend away.

    Sorry about the bike Ralphski. Great pics. Glad you all had a good time and got home safely, albeit on the back of a truck

    Well done on another well organised ride Ralph. Pity about the breakdown this morning. Great to meet another "newbie"wink KC and good to see a couple of the tourers stretching their legs. Great weekend with a great bunch.

    Great job Ralphski. even the tour of the closed petrol stations.

    it wasn't a broken spring, but surprise surprise, HD QUALITY, welded only about 60 % around the shaft, NOT 360 %. The weld should have taken to the shaft and PLATE, DUMB FCK'S at HARLEY DAVIDSON
