This one will have to be a 'Maybe' for me, my bike is still off the road suffering from someone's incompetence to replace coolant for the first time on a ST1100 resulting in a massive leak from the Water Pump, as a result of this, costing almost $2,000 to fix...

I am currently away in Malaysia for work, and still expect the bike still to be off the road for a further week after I return, so it might be a tight turn around, but put me down as a maybe.

I wouldn't assume what you would assume Marcus.

But, I would assume they have.  However, I would not assume that it was working, so I'll have some cash as well as my card.

This gravel road (I assume) you rode previously was probably between 670 Springs Road and Ruffy on this map:

https://goo.gl/maps/wwf8eBZpCGy

I rode that a couple of times on the CB1300, and it was (sort of) okay.

Or could've been this one:

https://goo.gl/maps/yE4iky1SSpP2

To avoid the gravel, with a pillion, I'll be riding this route:

The only dirt road I've ever seen going to Ruffy is where I park the bike/hardtop at the produce store. I must turn right at Terrip Terrip follow the road and when you come to the T interseaction turn LEFT this will take you into Ruffy about 2-3kms, all sealed road.

Hi all,

This one has been on my radar, it's still a 'maybe' for me... we've been in the process of selling our place, buying a new one, preparing to move etc etc, so I haven't had time to give Bluey the attention he needs before heading on a decent run, although I'm sure a quick check of his fluids and tyres and he'll be right to go. 

Our house settled yesterday, so I've got a giant hole burning in my pocket and feel like I deserve a day off!  If I do head up, I'll make sure to leave extra early so I'm not the last one slinking in again!  :spank

Hey Terry, you nominated the venue, I just started the thread.

Good day out, good ride, good weather, great company, 21 attended, 11 ST's, one BMW, one tin top - best VIC turnout since the 2014 NatRally at Ballarat, except for Mansfield, Inverloch, and any other get-together of 21 plus.

Hi,

Thank you for a great RTE, great weather and great turn out. 

Thank you to those who gave me some advice on my Speedo, got home and installed my phone mount (made a right mess of it however) but at least I now have a way to know how fast I am going... the just above 3k revs in 5th, is actually just below 100kph so perfect, just hope I did not get done in the 50s and 60s.

I have a couple more pictures of the bikes I will put up soon.

Definitely head back to Ruffy, it was a good venue, and good food, especially the desserts.

Oh and yeah Marcus, I think I was trying to be clever and found a shortcut only to find a dirt road, that got worse and worse and ended up having to turn around and head back the way I came.  But made it back no problem.  Look forward to the next one.

Ahhh, so I wasn’t alone in having speedo troubles then?! I’d noticed the night before that I’d lost the screw holding the cable to the drive, planned to steal one from one of my other Honda’s before finishing up for the night, but then promptly forgot!!! It came out when I hit a bump just before getting on to the Western Ring road...

I pulled up to zip-tie it back together but found I’d lost the little spindle (or is the spindle attached to the inner cable on the ST? If so, I’ve lost the whole cable!), with some quick reprogramming of the gps, I could at least keep an eye on how I was going.

...but yes, 3K in 3rd is 60, 4th is 80 and 5th is 100, or thereabouts!

Thanks Steve,

I have managed to get my phone attached, but not confident that I won't lose it somewhere without somehow keeping it attached on a leash to the bike... lol

I am not sure if it is a snapped cable in my case or the spindle that goes on the wheel, I am not game to touch my bike after the coolant fiasco so might keep with the GPS for now and have an expert look at the problem which it might have been their fault anyways, just hope it is the cable, much easier to fix.

Unfortunately it is not something I have posted about.  I did mention as my reply to attending this RTE that my bike was in the shop and cost me nearly $2,000 to have the Water Pump replaced... don't know if it was just a coincidence that it went but it does seem funny that I decided to try and replace the coolant in my bike and used proper cleaning products because the stuff that was in the bike was absolutely disgusting.

I am not very good with maintenance on a motorcycle, and need to attend some kind of course to help me do my own maintenance, and save myself a lot of money.  Unfortunately I don't have access to a lift, which would be much much easier.

I probably would have been able to do the work myself, but I certainly know it would be unlikely that I would be able to get it back together, and be stuck without a bike.

I'd definitely be up for that, seeing as our new house doesn't have a garage to work on the bikes in!!!

Yup, that's Danny's Sulkybears... Plus it's an 1100 I ride a 1300, the same as you Williamson... (I'll rack that up to old age shall I?)
Mine is the one with the gloves in the windscreen
