Title: 12 weeks!!!!
Post by: jwm on June 07, 2014, 05:57:45 PM
Been 12 weeks since I last rode the Honda, thought I might have got out for ride yesterday but the weather was pretty ordinary in the morning. Then I got involved in solving shut down issues with Windows 7 on the Lap Top and setting up a replacement desktop machine to replace my 12 year old system that was still running Windows XP. I can't understand why Microsoft has stop supporting XP, it's only 12 years old??? Lots of life left in the old girl yet.

Today, after a few chores, I finally got the ST1300 out of the garage and went for a ride. Not a big ride, just a ride from Callala to Nerriga. It took me a little while to settle back in on the bike but the return ride home from Nerriga to home was an absolute pleasure.

Tomorrow morning it's off to Mascot to catch a flight to the Gold Coast to pick up the new toy. Sorry guys it's not a bike.

Mmm, looks like that quote can be applied to at least 2 of us!!!!! :grin :grin :grin

But be damned, gee it was a long drive home from the Gold Coast, not much fun at all, especially on a long weekend. Mind you, the traffic wasn't bad and there were no repair crews closing down the Pacific Hwy, just a long drive home.

I actually came home with no plates on the car (unregd veh permit), I passed at least 6 HWP cars yesterday and another 5 this morning before I got home and not one of them even gave the plate less blue chevy a second look. I thought that was amazing.

Looks to be in perfect nick.  Nothing to do but show it off (and enjoy shorter rides).
My fave colour too, irridescent blue.
