Dont know if that was a wise move Keith, having the UK know that inhabitants of Oz will ride 1500 miles for dinner, have a nap and then go home again. They might think we are a tad nuts..

:whistle I know a few up here would do that but they'd have to ride in circles to cover the mileage. :grin

OK Keef!    Here is an image I captured on my way to the rally - as a teaser to my ride report...



They are collectively called the 12 Apostles - you guessed it... because there are ...... 8 of them (due to collapsing) - located in the Great Australian Bight - spectacular!

Cheers, Diesel

Still technically on the way home from Middleton rally.

New tyres today at tyres for bikes in cooroy. Got an OzSTOC 10% discount. Apparently the rear brake pads are shot, and they didn't have that type of pad to replace them, so I know have to nurse the STead home trying not to use to much rear brake.

I was sad to see my Pirelli ST Angel go on the front. It was a great tyre and loved it, but the Michelin Pilot Road 2's were recommended for the roads around Townsville.

So we'll see how they go.

Don't believe Diesel, that's just a photo from a post card, as you can see there's no validation.

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Lol - I guess that is a compliment - to be confused with postcards - but the rest of my pics also match the weather and time of day.     :wink1
