    Ended up in Nambucca Heads mate. Absolutely perfect weather for a ride. I should have taken a couple of pics from the lookout behind the bike.  It was stunning.

    Just out and about reasonably locally. This was the back road detour I was just turning off to take a few weeks ago when the battery died. Some gravel, some bitumen, lots of potholes in both. At times it looks like you're chugging through someone's paddock. The pic is taken by a nice part of Arababy Ck.

    Bet it's good to be back out an about Steve, nothing worse for a living biker than to be house bound

    Oh fuck yeah. Taking it in small steps, but every ride is helping me build strength back. That what I tell myself anyway when my arms and shoulders hurt for a couple of days after each ride.
    Might try one of the Vics next time, about 40kg heavier, 12" bars on 4" risers compared to 10" on 2" risers on the Sporty, but without the sudden clutch take up and the heavy steering at very low speed that comes from the 21" front wheel and the 1.25" shorter shocks on Harley.

    Sporty in the thriving district of Mt Beppo, across the road from the old general store that's been closed for as long as I've been riding through.
    Sunday afternoon in the sticks, only activity was half a dozen young people leaning on cars in the community hall carpark, sipping beers.
    One young woman was sitting on the bonnet of an old Toyota Crown, and I has an instant flashback to Springsteen's scene setting lyrics, "barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain ".
    Wasn't a Dodge in sight of course,  they were old Toyota's and Hyundai's. Closest Dodge was probably parked outside the Grand Hotel in Esk while it's owner, a bloke my age and his younger girlfriend tucked into a tourist priced meal out the back.
    Ah well, I enjoyed my locals priced basic burger at the Somerset Dam village general store. Did about 110 kms, longest I've done for months, got through it without too much pain, things are improving.

    I too went for a ride into town, my brother was over to see the oldies, he took the pic after I took him for a quick lap around a local loop to show him how the quick shifter works, he was suitably impressed.
