For any who ever doubted that FarRiding is never a bit taxing, this photo should silence your questions.

   :eek

Congrats on finally being vindicated, Streak.  There was a far more upside than downside in the experience, I know.  Just the night ride and the run down the mountain would have been worth the effort apart from anything else this weekend.
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 eventually turned up at home today.  Took a more leisurely way home, lots of narrow bumpy backroads (Waterfall Way, Thunderbolts, across to Dorrigo then down the Putty Road, across to Oberon and down to Taralga, across a backroad to Laggan to Crookwell then down to Gunning, from there backroads to Canberra.  Apart from hail around Marulan and torrential rain on Friday afternoon the weather was fine.  Just as I thought I was done, in some roadworks from Taralga they kindly decided to dump a truck road of fill across the road but leveled it a bit so I could just make it through.  So now you know why the bike is dirty sometimes - after the rain it was reasonably clean but now a bit sorry.

Diesel's work has just begun... :think1

Yep! I saw your 'custom' brown ST11P at Tamworth!    :well


Disgraceful I say!      :nahnah


Actually folks... I gesticulated that Saaz should "wash your bloody bike more often"..... his reply was "I did - YESTERDAY!"      :rofl :rofl :rofl


Wear the dirt proud old mate as a badge of duty.


Cheers, Diesel




PS... Chris (ST2UP) didn't help things by showing up on his, always pristine' bike....      :crackup
