Fortune favours the brave-just been the scenic route to fill up at Tesco and it was rather pleasant although a chap on a Bandit scared me somewhat with a late braking decision when I had right of way exiting a roundabout. Forward observation, dude

Bit bloody warm !!!


255k's (only 160 miles)

Real mixed bunch, 250 cruiser, moto-Guzzi,
Ducati Hyper Motard, BMW S1000RR, Aprilia RSV, B-King etc...

Nice friendly social ride with friends.

Had to have a shower and a few cold drinks
as soon as I got in, soaked in sweat in my leathers.

im sick of the rain now just one hot day on the weekend would be great if possible lol

The girl with the 250 had all the right gear on,
Full face, Jacket, gloves etc.
When we stopped for lunch she was trying to
turn her bike around on the grass.
One of the guys started to help her and she just
walked off and lay down! ....

A bit warm !!!

[aceuggy 0]

It wouldn't even need to be hot. Just a nice dry day would do.

[Tony nitrous 0]

I often joke and rub it in about the weather,
excellent endless roads, cheap fuel, etc.


The other side of the coin ?

There are a LOT of bikes out here,
a good chunk of them are modern sporsbikes.

We have a ridiculous fatality rate.
One year recently we averaged a motorcyclist
death every 4 days.
Thats not Australia.
Thats just our little corner of Qld !!

We had a death on a ride around the dam's.
We had a club member die on the way to our April Fools Run,
I know of LOTS more in the last few years.

Today, localy, in ONE ACCIDENT 2 died and 3 others
were injured in a multiple pile up.



This in return puts preasure on the cops to do something,
hense tickets for anything and everything to
try and put motorcyclists off.

Rant over.

Sorry.

That kind of thing always puts a bit of a dampener on things. I know we get our fatalities and injuries here in the UK, but that does seem a bit excessive! Is it just because you have so many more bikes out on your roads do you think?

But reckon we would have the same problem if the weather was nice all the time

2 Million people in Brissy, surrounded by
brilliant mountain roads. Harleys are very
popular, but far out numbered by Sportsbikes.
Not even a frost in living memmory.
Licencing and training are a bit slack.

Put it all together.
