Hi all
,
Thought I should share my trip on picking up the mighty silver STead on my first bike road trip.
With the great help from fellow OzSTOC members I made up my mind that I was going to fly to Mackay and ride back to Brisbane, how long was it going to take and how comfortable is this bike going to be was yet to be determined.
The path taken is:
Stopped at Sarina, Rockampton and just south of Gympie for fuel.
Lunch was a roadhouse somewhere around Inneston which have the best home made sausage rolls.
Dinner was in Childers where Kym drove up from Brisbane to meet me.
A few stretch, drink and pee stops along the way. The Cruise Control was a god send, the shield was neither here or there, but kept it down 95% of the trip. The other 5% was either for peice and quiet or to avoid the rain drops.
Here are some photo's from the trip:
The transport method there
The view leaving Brisbane
The excitement is kicking in
The view pulling into the seller's driveway, my heart is going through my chest about now
A quick site seeing in Mackay (it's the hospital, don't worry I work in Qld Health so I just thought I'd see some work colleagues office).
Kym see's it for the first time in Childers, Dinner time 
A welcome site on the journey home
What a beauty
At its new home, (it booted the car out of garage)
Any questions, happy to answer.
Rob.
