I thought a few times that the road looked like it was improving up ahead, until I heard STroppy complaining it was worse. Should have turned off the headset, problem solved

We were heading back home from The FarRide to Nambucca Heads . . . Went thru to Mudgee, Lithgow, Oberon, Taralga, Goulburn n Canberra. . . . Actually it wasn't too bad we were doing 60 to 80 KPH for a lot of the dirt. I was in the lead and we were conected by Bluetooth on our Sena Headsets and SAAZ didn't appreciate my heavy breathing and comentary on the upcoming road surface . . . We were happy to leave it behind . . . A great road before and after the dirt . . .

We have used that shortcut through to Merriwa a few times, normally in the dark.... but not on the bike

Used that shortcut on the way back from Middleton last year. Bloody excellent !

I have ridden the road between Merriwa and Willowtree several times. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone riding 2up and definitely give it a miss in the wet.

Guys... can we please keep all ride route discussions to this thread

Thanks...

So you wonder what you are going to be doing while you are waiting for lunch at the Blackwood Hotel? Well we have some fun for you!

CFMoto have Kindly agreed to bring their 2014 Model 650TK (Mini ST1300) in all colours out to Show us, they are also bringing bikes for demo rides! We are always reading about our members who reach the point they want a lighter bike, well after Wombattles escapade riding to Western Australia back on one, and giving it the thumbs up, we thought it would be worth a close look at by the club!!

Here are the colours of the bike and their website: http://650tk.com.au/

And that is not all! Mark from Zen Motorcycle Gear is also going to be there! Showing off all his products to the club

http://www.zenmotorcyclegear.com.au/

From their wide range of Jackets, Pants & Gloves to their fantastic mini Compressers, oils K&N Filters and Air Seat Pads

so you will be entertained!!

ST2UP · « **Reply #433 on:** February 19, 2014, 09:30:13 PM »

That's an exceptional way to entertain us rebels

OoH -

I think he has just stepped things up a notch or two

STeveo · « **Reply #435 on:** February 20, 2014, 07:51:32 AM »

Oh well done to whoever organised this.

Do you think they will take trade ins on the day? What about cheques?
This could end up as the ST/CF club!

saaz · « **Reply #436 on:** February 20, 2014, 10:10:36 AM »

Great to see CFmoto and Zen there. I have just taken delivery of the Zen Aven jacket and pants, as well as some Motopressor pumps

As an added bonus, Lionel should also be there so he can discuss the Transcontinental ride with anyone who is interested.

After walking around the CFmoto bike that Karl rode across Australia and back here the other day and except for the colour, if this permanent pillion was going to be swayed to sit a bit further forward well this bike in white is where I would be going first

White bike, some girly pink flower and butterfly stickers

and although it would then look just like a smaller version of Abe's bike

it would be perfect

How great is it to have CFmoto come to our little club at our National Ride to show us what they can do

Do you reckon you could get it to lean over as far as Abe's?

ST2UP · « **Reply #440 on:** February 20, 2014, 06:48:09 PM »

Great news about Zen......used the last off the K&N oil filters today I purchased from Mark at a great price.

Bought his FNQ gloves a few months ago as my spare travel pair kept on the bike....very comfy

Bike serviced, panniers packed, camping gear ready to load. Just have to do some washing and pack last minute stuff and off on the 10th.

Sabie · « **Reply #445 on:** February 23, 2014, 01:46:49 PM »

Bikes serviced, gear laid out, bags ready to be filled, route planned.

Bikes are Packed

Everyone's on board

For some, the ship has sailed

And everyone has taken their seat.

Streak · « **Reply #446 on:** February 23, 2014, 02:15:22 PM »

I still have to service my bike, I have ordered a new waterproof bag to bring all Teelas riding gear down, ride plan is in, I am going to get a new rear tyre when I am in Ballarat.

I am waiting to see how many ST's Shiney and I bump into on the way down

ST2UP · « **Reply #447 on:** February 23, 2014, 03:34:55 PM »

Just had a week of a naked ST in the shed......oil, filter, coolant, new rear brake pads, took Bikercom off added Sena and some additional charging options.......new feet this week and we are ready for take off

Streak · « **Reply #448 on:** February 24, 2014, 12:55:27 PM »

Well we have made the news with inviting CFMoto to bring the 650TK to the National Rally!

http://motorbikewriter.com/cfmoto-stars-honda-st-rally/

Please excuse the references to "it's all my idea" didn't realize it was going to come across quite that tactless

Biggles · « **Reply #449 on:** February 24, 2014, 01:02:36 PM »

“The reasoning behind this is that we have a large amount of older riders who once the ST gets too heavy for them they are looking for something to replace that is lighter,”

Yep, that reads like Streak said it. It's authentic!
