New Norcia Hotel
Built in 1927 and nestled beneath gum trees on a rise overlooking the township, the Latin word Salve – Welcome – on the threshold tells you this is no ordinary country Hotel. The New Norcia Hotel was originally a hostel for the parents of the boarders at the New Norcia colleges, but is now a practical expression of the Benedictine tradition of hospitality and the Hotel’s classic style will take your breath away as you approach the double front doors.

The Hotel welcomes individual, group and coach accommodation bookings.
There are 15 comfortable rooms in a variety of configurations with shared bathroom facilities.
Each room has overhead fans,  a refrigerator and tea/coffee making facilities.

Single – $75/night - Saturday Rate $92.50
Double/Twin Share Room – $95/night - Saturday Rate $130
Extra Person – $22/night - Saturday Rate $39.50

I might actually be able to make this one, Western Power have decided they need to do " Essential Network Maintenance " on that day.

  We will have no electrickery on a Sunday!!

  Be a good excuse to go for a ride, now all I have to do is save up a few pennies for fuel. ( I work for Startrack ( Auspost ), and the cuts actually started a few weeks ago ).

I will be heading up Gt Northern Hwy to Bullsbrook, from there onto Wandena Road, then to Muchea East Road which becomes Chittering Road and then back onto the Highway, Through Bindoon and up to New Norcia .....

""

On the way back, Alby has told me of a new road that cuts down from Bindoon and ends up on Obrien Road ...    So that will be my return trip.

[Yorkie]

Bindoon bakery could be a date.

I'm a definite maybe....................... Only managed to ride the bike twice in the past 3 months, last time was last Sunday, and needless to say, the battery was flat. Managed to jump start it and then rode onto Perth, about 24 k's, had breakfast with some BK mates and an hour later had to get a push start cause the battery was flat again. The battery is only 2 years old and I had no prior problems so I'm wondering if the lay-up may have caused some trouble in the alternator or if it could be time for a new battery.

Any suggestions you electricery gurus.

Do you have a trickle charger or C-Tek?
Where are you located ??? I have C-Tek I could lend you to see if that rejuvenates the battery.
PM me if you like. I travel around the city a fair bit.

[HOFFY]

pezzz, you could possibly walk to Daves house, not far from the centre of Midland.

Dave, I just bought a Ctek charger from Battery World, it was advertised at $99 but the bloke sold it to me for $79. Repco then advertised the same one for $49 just after I bought the one from Battery World.

The good thing about it is that you can leave the wires on the battery and the charger just plugs into a 2nd set of wires that you leave connected to the battery.

When the bike is left for long periods of time, leave the charger on and when you want to go for a ride, just pull the plug off the battery and off you go.

Yup .... What he said.
As for the ride, you should be OK when you get there add I think Wombat is bringing the Pit Crew. Well practiced at push starts so I hear ..... 

[HOFFY]

only good at push starts early in the frosty mornings whilst wearing pink dressing gown and ugg boots. no puctures yet      aaa Wombat?

[Pezzz]

Us ......
Wombat ..... 
Pit Crew ..... 

[Brock]

Dave, the Bike needs to be started at least every two weeks and run for ten min or so to keep the battery fresh. Or get one of those ctek type things to trickle charge/monitor the battery.

[Wombat]

Oh dear, I must warn you she charges (excuse the pun ) a lot to push these days. Even I cant afford the rates. And it was a blue dressing gown. I am typing this under extreme abuse   

 

[Turtle]

Johno will the Harley be coming out if the weather is kind and you too Victory Mitch?
