The forecast is for 30 degrees with a possible shower.    We are looking forward to a short ride and a long lunch.


Back down to the mid 20's. 
Not much change for us at mid 30s

Sorry, Alan.  Cherrie and I have both come down with the dreaded Lurgi (a big thank you to our two year old grandson).  Unfortunately, rather than risk creating an epidemic through the SA branch of OZSTOC, we think it would be prudent to cancel our ride.

We hope everyone has a great day   :beer  :eat and once again apologise if we have caused any inconvenience with the booking.

Fish has gone on holiday and Marcelo is going to the cricket, so they are out.

Sorry to hear that Marty and Cherie are out, so get well soon.

Hey Langers, following you home today, your OEM muflers, modified by RedLine  https://redline-exhausts.com.au/  sounded fantastic.   If the change in fuel comsumption that you described is not an aberation, then you are truly on to a winner.

Thanks Pete, I was looking for confirmation that the modification sounded ok at speed. At idle it's just a little bit, "try hard, burbly modified muffler" - sadly I like it. However, when I take off and when I twist the throttle and accelerate to pass, it really does sound the goods. The last time I heard something similar was when I was pillioned on a Guzzi Norge with Staintune mufflers (I can't afford the Staintunes) so I'm very happy with the result.

I used Bodø's photo for the group photo post.

If my count is correct then 10 of us turned up at Finniss for this one so thanks 'to everyone who attended

Being the 8th of December I expected a summer's day for this one but for the Southern half of the state it was more like winter; only not as cold.



Bodø took this one of Heather and myself arriving
