If it's possible to change the time from 12.00 to 12.30, I reckon I can just make it.

It's possible as nothing has been booked yet.

Alans1100 & Heather, were you going?

Yes we are; Was a bit iffy either way. I just can't think of anything better to do on Valentine's day than take Heather out for lunch even if it's 322 km down the track.

Hi John, welcome aboard. Won't be long and all that storage space won't seem so enormous.

Hi john.  I always start the rte's with empty panniers as the boss finds it very hard to let me ride past any markets or craft shops.  It is an Instant punch to the kidneys if I do not stop  :Whipped.  o:)

My other bike is a gsx750f with soft panniers so any antiques or markets we have come across I have been able to politely decline purchasing anything because off lack of space. Now my goose is cooked,! Does sir wish the china cabinet to be placed in the right or left pannier?

Looks like it won't be to warm tomorrow as temps forecasted for about 23C much cooler than our current 39

We hope to leave home about 7:30/8:00 am and arrive about midday or just after. GPS says 309 KM and 4 hours 21 minutes.

This one is all done with 8 people attending.

Steve & Donna (Richo), their friends John and Josie (red BMW), new members John and his wife (sorry, didn't catch her name) from Port Elliot plus Heather and I. It's the first RTE where 1100s out numbered 1300s in SA.

Group shot taken by Josie;

A very lonely 1300 and Steve;

I was thinking of you all, as I sat in a training session, and I trust you enjoyed my choice of cafe.   Chris and I have been there on a couple of occasions and I was sure it would make a terrific RTE venue.

It was Definately a good venue and well chosen.  The roads on the way we're great as well with a good mix of open riding and a lot of bends.   The food was great and I was Definately not hungry afterwards.  It was good meeting new members.
