WA RTE Mundaring Weir Hotel Sunday 14th July

[STRay (Roo Killer)]

OK, I'll stick mine on 39 as well. I know I can Rx, but still not sure on Tx. Be leaving about 07:30.

[Brock]

we may be able to do a little fault finding Ray

[STRay (Roo Killer)]

I assume yours is one of the new 80 chanel ones as well?

[Brock]

That it is, but it will still talk to the older sets.

[STRay (Roo Killer)]

But at a much lower volume than  the on the newer 80's !! Can be hard to hear until the volume is turned up on the older 40 Channel units, which is why I am still not sure if I am actually transmitting on mine yet. Can't see the truckies spending the money on a new CB until they have to!

[Brock]

Mine can be set to wideband on the first 40, so thats not a problem.

Or I can slot in the 40ch set, its basically the same

Now to suit up and get some fuel

[Shane H]

Thanks all for a great morning. Nice to meet you all

Thanks for the notice Brock. It was a bit late for me though. Do Farriders normally stay on 39 or 40 Ray?
Had a great time at the weir hotel, a big thanks to those who made it.

I am normaly on 40, but you get a lot of idiots on there on the weekends. Just finished making the timelapse movie, just waiting to upload it then I will post it and the photo's.

Sorry guys, I couldn't make it. Feeling a bit crappy at the moment.

Great to hear it was a good day. See you all next time.

 Well it was a good nights sleep until the alarm went off on a Sunday morning for Malcolm's "breakfast" ride to Mundaring Weir Hotel. As I had not been there before, I decided to fire up the GPS to take me the more scenic way. Found the first of my obligatory glitches when I go on a ride. The GPS was not locking onto any satellites and could not find my destination! I was also riding where no roads exist in suburban Perth!!! After about 10 mins of riding and restarting the GPS, it decided to play. I went thru Kalamunda and onto Mundaring Weir Road which would have been a good ride, except for the very low speed limits and all the wet stuff on the road! By this time Brock and I had sort of communicated via our CB's confirming they both work ( mine, sort of ). About 2 minutes short of the breakfast meet I got another call from Brock ( who took the quicker route ) asking me where I was!

We had quite a reasonable turnout, considering the weather we have had here in Perth and all the "bugs" everyone has been getting!



There were actually another couple of bikes that got hidden in the photo.

After quite a bit of a chinwag, we decided we were getting hungry and went inside for our brekky.






The most common order was the "Cooked Breakfast"


Brock had to be different:



I "Crapped Out" getting the crepes I ordered and had to settle for pancakes!



We also made a new Friend, the local cat who proceeded to chew on anything that stood still long enough!



And a couple of timelapse video's of my ride etc. One in Low def

It was a good meet with good company, ( and Malcolm n Scarp.. ) and good conversation with most topics some how venturing into the gutter some how. The food coffee and service was very good, and I think most of us came away with change from $20.00.

I was able o test my new UHF install, and Ray tested his suspect radio. First contact, was about 10Ks, not bad at all for urban hilly terrain. I was at the Roe Hwy and Great Eastern highway and Ray on Kalamund rd. Strangely enough, the conversation was easier when we were 10Ks apart than on the run home separated by about 20 mtrs. Rays transmission were broken and garbled with lots of crackling. Dont really know if that was his radio or the pancakes....

All in all, the ride was worth the effort n cold. You should have been there Poopy, you would have felt better....

[scarp]

I do some of my best work in the gutter

[scarp]

Thanks all for a great morning. Nice to meet you all 

Was good to meet you too:

[Streak]

Looks like a great morning was had by all, and the food looked rather good to!

[Wombat]

Great morning ride but a bit cold in the valleys. Scarp had met his match in the young lady waiting on us. Too sharp for me that early on a sunday. Good to meet with our new member Shane, Good stories ,a lot of banter overall a good time was had by all. Even Malcolm was eyeing the naked sheep on a Spit

 

[scarp]

Met my match eh  well if I were a few years younger I'd have shown her a thing or 2 

[Gavo]

  thats a worry 

[Wombat]

Scarp lets be honest those fluttering eyelashes were a hit but it still didnt phase her
