Hi to all, have access to home computer while them and her are out of country. Had a blast riding up to nambour, done some amazing two up riding up obi obi rd and across the top of the range to mapleton and beyond, absolutely the most beautifull of sceneries and good roads for the mistress, yes hanso they are all our mistresses, hope you and yours are recovering well, alas i had to leave the state my mates say that there are only two states to live in, queensland and pissed, and head back to reality to fund my next endeavours in life. The ride home was terrible, all was good coming down the new england till about 70 ks from tamworth,it was like someone turned a giant hair dryer on full. I made coonabarabran in temps in the high 40s and rested up at my fave stop. Next day made gilgandra for brekky then come outside and the bastard turned the hair dryer on again. Bought a sunsceen shirt at dubbo, it was to hot for jackets , and continued on one town a a time all day in the high 40s, stop rehydrate then go again. Only made tocumwal on way home 750 ks or so in high temp , must be getting soft. Didnt push the mistress till 50 ks fro jerilderi when a stormcloud covered the sun and her and i had a second wind. That was one of the best 50 ks i have ever ridden. Over in the fields it was raining and ther was a band of cloud, a band of sun, and a band of steam rising from the sunburnt ground. Was flashed by a truckie who could see i was hookin in , first reaction cops,(got let off by three on my trip) no cops , black angus cattle everywhere, an old drover working the road, sorry to you blokes overseas but i think that this is the greatest country in the world that we can still have experiences like that. Though all that hard motoring the only thing that happened is a relay has melted meaning my headlights stay on, have to pop the fuse to not flatten thre battery. She is in the shop in kensington as of today, revisit the idle problem, Charlie is good, and fix the relay. We done 4200 ks all up , most in extreme heat and fully loaded with all my comforts and even up the grade road to mapleton two up which is as steep as anything i have ever ridden, she always done us proud. Hanso ,I wrote a poem last year, this is for you, Happy new year to all,,, My mistres awaits, I use and abuse her,all that she asks is that I keep her lubed, I do that with pleasure, She is my treasure. Cheers scratchyDave
