Random Ride , 10/6/18

Morning guys , its 4:45 am on Sunday  a not so toasty 3 c  .
its clear and still and the world awaits ,
 If the big Honda goes left at the Tugrah Rd roundabout we challenge the wilderness down the wild West .
If she goes right we head down the beautiful 
East Coast.
Post some pics later,

Safe travelling to one and all

Another safe and great ride in the bag .
Went to Beaconsfied , Bridport , Tomahawk Bay . Tried to get to Gladstone and on to Ansons Bay but the Big Honda hates dirt .
Think i need one of those throttle things as me hand goes numb after a while. . :CB--

Williamson once told me he found a straight road in Tasmania.  That was dirt and was in Boobyalla.

..... Tried to get to Gladstone and on to Ansons Bay but the Big Honda hates dirt .


The road from Gladstone to Bridport, via the Tomahawk Bay turn-off was challenging.



Williamson once told me he found a straight road in Tasmania.  That was dirt and was in Boobyalla.


Thanks BG, for giving me an excuse to post a pic.



I may have exaggerated a bit, the straight is around 12.9km (according to GMaps).
