Mal counting on you too

STRay (Roo Killer) · « **Reply #6 on:** February 19, 2012, 09:20:13 PM »

Knew I forgot something on the list!!! ( but it is in the bag )

Dunno if there are enough ST's registered to get our record back tho?

Malcolm6112 · « **Reply #7 on:** February 19, 2012, 10:15:02 PM »

I'll be there. Only 6 more sleeps.

The shirt will be there. I got the HID's from MCL last week. They are on the STead and blindly brilliant!

Diane said she couldn't even look at me coming up the road, they are so bright.

I plan to stay in Albany on Friday night, with family. Then on to Denmark in the morning. There is heaps of room if anyone needs a place to stay.

I know what that feeling is like, my plan will be decided after the first few hundred k's into the ride!!!

Either way I will be doing a BIG loop to the East before turning back West.

Well that's another Farride done and dusted.
I left Armadale at 18.45, Friday night. The new lights from MCL were fantastic. Even managed to out a white car parked on the side of the road, then slow down in time.

Making allowances for SWST (South Western Standard Time), I arrived in Albany in time to sleep for 6 hours.
Up at 4.30 for a ride to a place called Jerramungup, then back to Mt Barker for brekky. A nice lamb pie.
Head south to Albany then towards Denmark. I was impressed with getting 457 kms from the tank. It took 27lts to fill.
Check in was at the Denmark Tavern. 25 turned out for the ride.
Three OZSTOCers took part. Noel, Ray and myself.
The rain turned up around 1300. What is it with Farrides and rain? My first ride had a storm hang around all afternoon as well.
So, Denmark to Bunbury, it rained and got colder. I have to get some heated grips.

All up mileage 1334.
Made it back to Perth with time to spare, even with time changes.

That sounds to me as bit like you might have been lucky there was only one white car on your trip. I've seen over 500 a few times with at least 2 litres remaining. Strong right wrist?

Well done Malcolm! Sounds like you had a great time

scarp · « **Reply #18 on:** February 26, 2012, 12:59:11 PM »

I don't know if the three shirts at a farride is a record, but I don't know if we have pictures of the 3 at Nambucca Heads east #18.

Biggles · « **Reply #24 on:** February 26, 2012, 02:33:00 PM »

Darn!!
FarRide East #17 had Diesel, Beatup, Biggles and tj189 on it, but we didn't know about this new Records Division so we didn't put our shirts on.

Next time we'll have Streak along as well, so there's another record that won't last.
