Good to see quite a few bikes going. Pity Ralphski can't make it, maybe he's the new Davutch.. Never mind mate, we will send you a postcard from the next level.

Looking forward to the news and photos.

With you on this trip in spirit (from a warm house).

keep having a good time, don't wanna know, but...

Only playing along, as we know, is chitty chat banter.

Bloody cold ride boyz, rug up and keep safe, very envious. 

Remember, sitting on the porch at Blinman hotel 1970, having a coke with my old man.

Had a great weekend fellas. Good job by Bob to take it too the next level. Great to get out for a run even in the car. Looking forward to hitting the road soon.

Hope the rest of you get home before it gets too wet.

How'd Bob go? 

Get lost and forget fuel stops like i do.

pictures ?

stories ?

Here are some pics:

Most of us were home before the rain hit properly so we were basically rain free for the week end but it was still cold.

Got underway from Roseworthy on time with 7 bikes (Lofty, Roady, Kingchops, Tim and Action, Steelo, Wingers and myself)

These week ends away are all part of Action's on going education (I think).

Met up with Mickle, George, GT and Graz at Stone Hut for a road kill pie for late breakfast.

Big effort from Mickle and George to ride over from Melbourne (again).

Same for Graz who couldn't bring the bike because of recent hand surgery but drove up for the week end.

Pushed on to Quorn for a short stop them out to Hawker and Blinman (for more pies).

Pity the pub at Blinman was shut.

Back to Quorn where we met up with the Soapies and then settled in to a night at the pub.

Managed to keep AJ from the jukebox this year but found out he is a closet Home and Away groupie - ask him for the photos.

Think he put a reasonable dent in their port keg again.

Up early the next morning to see George and Mickle off - taking the short cut to Melbourne via Cobar in NSW.

Wingers left before breakfast to get home for a family matter but the rest had breakfast before setting off for home via Pichi Richi Pass, Horrocks Pass and the Port Germein Gorge - great ride.

Couple peeled off and headed straight for home but a few of us stopped at Auburn for a beer then made the dash home to beat the rain.

Thanks to everyone for another memorable week end.

Look forward to doing it again next year when hopefully we can get a few more participants.

I think the next ride pencilled in is to Kadina (Ride for Riley) then Lucindale, Moama, Edenhope (not necessarily in that order).

Lucindale and Edenhope look like they have a fair bit of interest.

Hopefully a few more from SA can make it to Moama.

Thanks again - great week end.

PS - there is a rumour of taking up a collection to buy Lofty a replacement bag (something that actually stays on his bike)

 

Had a blast, especially sunday when Tim led us through some amazing trails/twisties and drop-roos.

Here's AJ and his mate Charlie (aka "Who the fuck's Zac") negotiating a possible role in Wolf Creek the series.

Thanks to all those that braved to cold to make it another great forum event.

The ride was well attended and organised. The roads and scenery fantastic. Thanks Bob!. Thanks GT for offering to share your room at my last minute decision to come along. Had a couple good chats and laughs with Graz, Tim and Mr and Mrs Soapy. Had a good ride home with Kingchops after getting cut from the herd following a unscheduled stop

I am happy to report that my first extended ride on the tourer was a resounding success. Even though the rain started at Roseworthy, I rode the final 60 odd k's home without getting wet. I look forward to the next ride. Well done all.

Morgan SA, first arvo Beer stop, and no I didn't have a West End.

Saturday morning departure from the Spalding Hotel SA, with the Publican Geoff looking on.

Stone Hut Pie stop and meet up with the SA boys, Pre start meeting, pity BoBo wasn't listening then we may have departed in the right direction.

BoBo sucking on a ciggie instead of conducting the Pre start.

Blinman Pie stop.

Wilpena Pound SA turnoff.

Between Broken Hill and Wilcana beer stop.

And then there were 3, Wilcana fuel stop offered old mate to tag along behind us with our bright lights as we wouldn't make Cobar before dark.

Old mate not sure of these new fandangle Harleys, he was heading to Darwin from Perth after picking up a mate near Parkes NSW.

Pub in Cobar had good Pizza and $5 Carlton Draught Schooners. Those Prawns cost $2 extra.

Start of our last leg home.
