Draco's Ride to see off Diesel
« on: September 29, 2016, 05:15:59 PM »
 :blu13 Left a little late due to a Doctors appointment to have a Heart monitor removed.
Bike was fueled the night before, tyre pressure check (lucky i did) 35psi due to previous puncture. (I have ordered "ride-on" x2).

Anyway headed out towards Ipswich onto Warwick turn off, incident free all the way, pulled into a rest area where I spoke to old fellow walking his very short legged dog, chatted a bit then went on my way.

the spectacular view

Speedo check in


(Just in-case anyone asks NO I don't go for 100, 200 Just triples 111, 222)

I arrived at PC's place without any issues.

Such a superb view from PC's place


A few of the crew

"STella"

The face only a mother can love  :grin

Another nice view

Nice fire pit

Beaut house

FULL house


Nice sunset

Wendy's ride

2 BLUE

"The diesel Machine"

Fireside chat

EXCELLENT meal




Well that was all the pictures I took because my phone battery went flat :fp
It was a excellent time with the exception of the snoring contest |-i (NAMES withheld).
I had a great time although it was sad to see Diesel go :'(
The next morning I rode back with STimpy Shiney and Carrol, until STimpy left us to make his own way home....


And again  :grin


BUT WAIT...More..
 


What an excellent trip  :thumb :thumbs :runyay :blu13left
