It was a good day.
It started with a meet up at Cannington to eat some of Coramal Vans Snags, Thanks to your Bosses Scarp...
8 Bikes turned up, and one called up sick with a sore arm.. Still waiting for that forged sick note from your Mum Ray..

Jim (arrived unexpectedly at the pub)
We set off a little late, and ambled at a steady legal pace down to the roe Highway, to Midland and along the great Northern to Bindoon, where we stopped for the obligatory coffee at the Bakery. Just as well, as Malcolm had to stop off and fuel up along the way (guess he forgot rule 1:- Fill up the day before a run or at least ten min before depatrure) Dave Roper stayed with him just to make sure he didnt get lost..
After coffee, we headed 50Ks north to New Norcia braving the tripple trailered trucks arriving at the pub at 1215, for a formation park.. A few photos taken, and inside to order a meal. The Steak Sandwiches were excellent.
The only thing that slightly marred the day was some clown who rode his bike through a pedestrian area, who locked his front wheel with the brakes and went down. What we didnt realise at first was that he pinned a little girl under the wheel. Fortunately her only injuries were a nasty fright and a scraped leg. The girls grand father wanted to gut the rider ( quite understandably )fortunately everything soon got back to normal..
After lunch, and an enjoyable period of swapping lies, people started to head of for shopping or home.
The mug of the month award goes to a nameless person with one nut who left his/her heated grips on and flattened the battery. Luckily there was a good down hill slope for roll starting the bike, so a test of the newly installed jumper lead system wasnt needed.
Pictures from the day later.
I covered 352.5 Ks for the day, used 19.31 Litres of unleaded 91, at a cost of $26.25. Consumption figures, 50.94 MPG, or 17.9 Ks/Lt or 13.18Ks/$ .Bike is fueled and ready for work tomorrow.
