We're riding down to the southern suburbs of Adelaide after the RTE. Since we're halfway there at Balaklava we may as well ride the other half and stay with friends overnight. Need to take a some bedding with us for the night in their caravan so we'll have the trailer this trip.

With fish going on the Harley, does that mean we have to go via the highway so we stay close to fuel stops? :Stirpot.

Fuel range is OK, but we'll need to ride where there is phone service along the way so he ring  "Adelaide Motorcycle Recovery".   :rofl
I'm working on Marcelo for this one as well.    :thumb

At 37 degrees, it was a pretty hot day for a ride, but we're all pretty tough here.  We met at the Bolivar Caltex and rode to Balaklava through the Pinery region so recently devastated by bush-fire.   It was quite sobering as we rode through kilometers of bare padocks, burnt fences, razed homes, blackened roadside vegetation devoid of any life, and willy willies spiraling dust high into the air.    The Royal Hotel at Balaklava is a cracker, and the dining room was crowded with locals.  If we hand't booked we would have missed out on a table.   The food was brilliant and someone commented that it was that it was the best pub food ever tasted and I'd certainly go back there again.    Those who braved the heat were Alans1100 & Heather, StinkyPete & Chris,  Fish, Richo, and two of Richo's friends (Josie and John) from Kadina driving a BMW sports car.   The girls were very impressed with the BMW and I had to pry Chris out of the driver's seat to get her back on the bike.  It was a lovely day out, and thank to Alans1100 for finding such a great little pub.

We got back home about two hours ago (5:15 pm 18th Jan) after a rather warmish ride the worst of which was the first 60 km of mainly stop/start suburban Adelaide traffic.
