Lol!

The first pic is searching for the BP servo, turned left Intrawest of right, but a couple of petty local girls pointed me in the correct direction.

The second picture I'm guessing it's because I've left Bubbler running overnight and it is inside struggling to get a fix on the satellites.

Bit of a late start for me today, I overslept. Gary has a head start, but here we go...
Seems they started moving around 7 am, and are now well down the highway.

By now, travelling on my own, I would have been well south of Sydney and approaching the Big Merino... but that's the drawbacks of travelling with a group..

Hmmm... Oxford Street Darlinghurst.... brings back some memories... met my first wife there when she flew here from Switzerland, 47 years ago... rode my modified Harley (choke!) to there from SA... but that's another story...

Looks like a bit of ~~arrest~~ a rest stop here.

Bike safely ensconced at the NSW Police Car Park.

Booked in to the Travelodge, showered and fresh clothes.
Off to the Irish Pub for dinner later.

I'm surprised there's not more update points through Sydney. Traffic was atrocious and hot!

A good days ride.

...about 1200 Km total, maybe a bit more for 2 days?

Shiney, we are letting him tag along, but playing with toys? Come on now!!!!!!!!

He is getting a number of good comments about the lights. Off to Dungog and into Sydney tomorrow afternnoon.

Maybe if you ask him nicely he'll let you turn on the siren and flashers

Maybe I should turn Bubbler off overnight, but I'm concerned I'll forget to turn it on in the morning.

You would think on the 18th for there woukd be good GPS signal.
