S.E QLD Saturday 25th May Australian Motorcycle Museum

[Bluey]

A great day. Despite the very gusty wind, also a great ride.

The museum was a trip down memory lane, for sure. Maybe it is sad when your history is considered to be worthy of a museum. Many of those were real bikes (not just museum pieces), probably for most of us.

I will go again next year.

Well it was a fantastic day!

Met up with Chris in Toowoomba and headed down the back way to Gatton and up the museum, was great to see 5 ST1100 sitting there And not a 1300 in sight(jokes)...

Diesel was a late roll up so it made 12 of us all up!





It always amazes me the history and the conversations that are caused by being amongst all the bikes, listening to everyone talking about the bikes they have owned, or want to own before the die..



There was certainly some strange ones as well!





Then lunch! At the Sundownder Hotel, where we found a blue ST1100 who was amazed to see all these Szt's parking around him! Food was great, all in all it was a great RTE, good people and good food!





I am sure people took better photos than me, so post way, above is what I grabbed with my phone

Fitting to have seen this beaut today before watching the final in the Back To The Future Trilogy tonight.....





And now for a motorcycle that is powered by a Jet Ranger Bell Helicopter Turbine Engine - good for 350 horses...



An AWESOME Honda Cruiser.. The Valkyrie Rune.





And a bike for Pockey...



Sorry Pockey.       


Awesome day out, and a great ride over Mt Glorious to get home.


Thanks to all for making it another rip snorta!


Cheers, Diesel

    Great day out, followed by relaxing lunch.      Amazing how yesterday suddenly becomes famous in a museum. Being part of it never seems to cross your mind whilst you're creating it.

I never thought much about pain riding years ago, and I never related it to museum history, but time does things to ones thought patterns and I heard a few comments yesterday like...' But gee they were rough'...and 'You wouldn't be a pillion on that thing.'    as well as ..'but ...,  it could go!!

Then there's the thoughts of how well off we could have been if only we'd kept it. Bikes we paid a few hundred bucks for new, now worth $$$,000.
If only we'd known - if only we'd had a De Loreon, and a screwy professor for a uncle!!    
We now know where there's a DMC

(P.S. You guys with the older ST1100's  maybe should be thinking about the longer future)
