Thats great Ron, after you have been to your first RTE they become infectious.......

Hi Ron,

If you can make your way to, say, the first shell servo on the left after you cross the Hunter River at Hexham I can pick you up on the way past. I will be going past there about 11.15am and am happy to stick to the speed limit.  We will be a little late though.

Let me know if you want to do that and I will keep an eye out for you. If you do I will PM you my mobile number in case you change your mind later.

  Hi Craig (Wombattle)
                                       Thanks for your reply! That would be great. 11.15 at first Shell after Hexham...no worries
                             looking forward to it!
                                                                          Regards. Ron

Ride safe and see you at Roadies....

We are heading off in the morning, after the tiresome Waterfall Way  it will be lunch and a swim at Scott's Head, and a mandatory coffee at the Casualty Coffee shop in Port Macquarie......then in for the night at Harrington and the Irish Pub with Guinness on tap 

Next morning Pockey doing a beach run while I feed the seagulls and scull berocca, followed by the bike museum at Nabiac and then off to hassle you mob for lunch.......not much riding but not at home sorting teenagers crap or at work either 


  mmmm Guinness !!

[ST2UP]

We home all safe and sound at 5:45, just in time to go to work at 6pm 

Will post pics so....

Now that was fun!  Great meeting you all, food at Roadies was very nice, company better! 

[STroppy]

Good to catch up with you all at the Roadies Cafe, Tipto, Paul and I are holed up in the Long Flat Hotel for the night and we'll do the remainder of the Oxley to Walca tomorrow. Then it's back down to Gloucester, Dungog, Singleton, Putty Road to Windsor for the night, Friday will see us back in Canberra.

Thanks for organising, much appreciated.

 .  It was great to meet you guys at Roadies yesterday, looking forward to another ride.
                      Thanks to everyone for the advice on the backfiring, I tried the Metho,  tipped some in the tank took a swig
                    and never heard it backfire once on the way to Wingham. So it seems their may have been water in the fuel.
                                                                                   Regards. Ron (Harro)

Good to hear Ron.
 Sometimes you start with the simple things. Do check your valve clearances to be sure.

 

[ronharro]

 .   Thanks STeveo I will definately check the valves too!
                                              Regards. Ron.

I heard Methohw  can make you blind but I didn't know it affected hearing as well.  Great to catch up and meet all you guys at Gloucester.
I got home safe and sound but a bit cold at 4:45pm.

Young Georgia that you guys meet at Gloucester hit a roo between Gingers Crk and Walcha on the way home after dark.......stayed on the bike just but naturally rattled and stayed below 60 for the rest of the ride to the New England Hwy.


She said the little CF Moto 650TK that Al was on travelled great.....really great  !!






 

[ronharro]

    Glad to hear you are alright Georgia. Those Roos are pretty solid. You did well staying on the bike!
                                                      Regards. Ron (Harro)

Tipto, BMW Paul and I saw them go past while we were enjoying a 3rd on "verandah" of the Long Flat Pub (thanks for the advice Chris - great spot to overnight) and thought that they were leaving it a tad late to make it through in daylight. Great to hear she is OK . .

Will get a few pics up when we sought our photo bucket/ Internet problems out, was a great RTE and we found a super little pub the night before in Harrington
