I have some but they are the same shots. No need to repeat them.
 
My day started at 3.45am dark o'clock (Queensland time), on the road at 4.00am with a breakfast stop at Glen Innes, refuel and cuppa in Warwick and on to the Farmers arms. Had time for a quick look through the markets at the back of the pub before the group arrived and handshakes and greetings all round. I left the group at Fernvale, down the Logan to my daughters at Carrara. 748km for the day.   :)

 :o owning a white ST has its plusses and minuses..... Plusses:  I have the road to myself as tintops in front catch a glimpse in their mirror and suddenly start behaving themselves.  Minuses:  um? Can't think of one right now!

Minus... Plowing into the back of a tintop that just slammed on the brakes after catching a glimpse of you in their mirror...... :law

Not as unlikely as you might think.  When I had my ex-Cop ST1100 I saw some frantic tintop behaviour almost daily.  Wearing a white helmet and blue jacket only heightened the illusion.  If I had Tipsy's blue checker stripes they would have been holding arms out the window ready for the cuffs.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

I was riding behind a young guy driving a Jap ute one day, and he moved to the shoulder and stopped. I heard from my nephew a day later, that the guy was his friend, and he thought had been done so pulled over, he was quite confused when I didnt stop for a chat..  :crackup :crackup :crackup :crackup

Thanks guys. It was good to meet some of the Qld bunch. All up from home in Geelong Vic up via Bathurst (5 laps of the track) then the Bylong Way, the ride with you guys and back home via the Putty Road, 5400 k's. the ST is a dream to travel like that.

All the best,
Mick S

Strewth Tipsy, you're falling to bits!  You've got more farkles than your bike.

Just don't walk backwards or you'll scare the crap out of people.  :grin

Its the farkles that I need for the bod but there is a delay in the delivery of the parts, so the back orders are something fierce,
I Believe it has something to do with the payment plan of the State Government Can(T)  Do(it) Campbell.... :|||| :o :'( :|||| :o :'( due to the over spending by the previous leader, cant understand why she ran away to NSW ,  :grin :grin :grin
