Thanks Trevor for the company, the ride to some places i've never been to before, the forthcoming speeding fines 
Also good to see Gavo, Scarp, Crackers (900 Hornet), Malcolm and members of Far Riders


Really sorry about that. Trouble with white ST speedo's, they are too accurate. On any other vehicle you would be reading 100 but only doing about 96.

But I diid have a good time all round. Company was great, conversation in the pub may have been interesting if only I could hear (age related deafness in noisy conditions, can see the mouth moving but not understanding every word.)

Rain overnight didn't happen and riding through the trees (on the road) in cool weather is something I really love.

Interesting ride between Ballingup and Nannup. Got overtaken by a green blur, no plates, doing in excess of 120km on wet, twisting road and on the wrong side into blind corners.  We could only manage about 40-60k as we came to corners and some of those were too fast for the conditions.

Just checked the mirror and saw Pete was about 100metres behind me and nothing else in view. Focused on the road ahead and vrooom, this green thing went past me on the right side as we were turning into a tight left corner.

Every bone and muscle in my body went solid for a second (hasn't done that for years now).

Never saw the bike or rider again, possibly a Km into thich bush somewhere.

Well,I'm Looking forward to the next event. I have to take a camera next time.

Regards.

Great photos, looks like a beauty of a trip.  I can't wait to get away on reasonably run like this sometime.
