the ride started about 8.30am from our place with a bit of we'll see what it looks like at Evs', arriving 9.15ish
well that's what it looked like at Evs', do we cancel and chat all day, or wait it out,, Michelle commandeered Evs' computer and looked up the "BOM",, it was only a small storm front,, maybe 100klm thru, and was moving reasonably quick so we decided to wait it out and forgo a couple of sets of corners in the afternoon
talk quickly turned to 1100 business and "the" rally, and was roughly sorted and lined out
we ended up leaving some 2 1/2 hrs later with a light drizzle but the promise of dry roads 50klm on, it turned out to be right and spot on riding conditions followed for the rest of the day,, Ev chose some different corners from the first run, and we got to our accom just after dark with 10 mins to spare with another storm front menacingly close,
sunday morning saw beautifull weather, a quick patch up job on my bike,, one of my head light ears were starting to crack thru,, and it was off to the show and a catch up with "Tony" from Caloundra, Ev hadn't met him yet so it was more members meeting and catching up,,
piles of exhibits and bikes,, some nice ones like the yellow one,, then there were the more out there ones like this one
a shot of the bikes at the show
then a really nice shot from the black all range above the sunshine coast between Melany and Montville,, Ev of course on the right with the MNS, me in the centre, and Tony on the left with the G
the rest of the ride home was quiet and uneventfull, which is the way I like it,,
as for the fuel this trip, on the straight flats I was still 500ml less than Ev,, but in the twisties and ups and downs, Ev was 100ml in front, all we can put it down to is the pipes
Ev will follow with a far more detailed report as only Ev can, he sees a lot more small stuff than I
don,t get to excited about the t-shirts just yet,, we're road testing and giving them a hard time to see how they hold up,, but if they hold up we have a deal with the "people" for a large order that will see them a lot cheaper the more we get
