Just thought you might like some warning that in the next week or two you may:
1. get a nail in your tyre
or
2. crash you bike (RobS you were a bit premature ;D)
or
3. meet a cereal killer [evil] (intentional misspelling
- I couldn't harm a flea)
or
4. just have someone to blame for all manner of misfortune [cheeky]
After 6 months of not working, for money anyway, I'm thinking of looking for a job but before I do I thought I might just go for another little ride now the snow has thawed into floods here in Victoria.
So I'm planning on leaving my place on Monday(20/9) or Tuesday next week and heading North. I'm aiming for North of Sydney somewhere out in the sticks. Thinking of riding in through Bells Line of road Wednesday-ish.
Anyone wanna go for a ride???????
Maybe so H.
Keep it up dated and I'll let you know what I can manage.
Love to but not sure whether I can. Will know closer to the date.
I hope you behave this time you visit but I some how doubt it

Where would be the fun in behaving myself. [roll] [evil]
looking forward to more stories and pics, I was almost going to let you know that the weather here in TAS was on the improve, went for a ride on Sunday with only a T Shirt under my jacket - then monday the temp dropped again! and today well..........
Yeah cold wet and drizzly here too. Official temp 8.7o feels like 5.3o.

Will now be in the Sydney area on the Friday (24th Sep) not Wednesday.
well that makes it a little better - still here for Sat?
Yes I'll be staying for a little while. At least until my hosts kick me out into the street.
Monster & BM ready to ride............warm and sunny here :)
Heading out to Mt Lindsay and Lions Rd tomorrow, cause I can ;D
Wish it was warm and sunny here. It's sunny but wind chill is freezing... brrrrr!
Just about ready to set off and it's a balmy 6.8oC. Hmn maybe I should take some thermals off.
Safe riding Heather. [thumbsup]
Safe riding Heather.
Hope you are up for a ride on Saturday. [thumbsup] Old Road, Kulnura, possibly Wollombi and beyond.
Ozmos most welcome. Ozmos pm Nickati for details.
Safe travels H.
I'm off with a couple of peoples up North West Saturday/Sunday
I'll catch you next week. Depending on how long you're staying in town.

Looks like I'm organising this !!!
Way to go Nicola secondo. Safe travels heather!
So are you coming Goldy ?
I always behave and just do what I'm told ;D
Not much chance this weekend..unfortunately. I've had a hell large week at work which is likely to spill over into the weekend, not to mention things at home to get done as well... Next time for sure!

Ha!
So whats stopping you tagging along? Oh that's right, the little subject of a road registered bike!
Yeah something like that, although it could also have to do with the unexpected dirt roads appearing suddenly ;)
Well Saturday was fun. Thanks George & Kaz for showing me some lovely roads. Can now add a few more to my list. Trip up was great. Spent Thursday playing in the Snowy Mountains. Friday rode from Bathust. Bells line, a little bit of Putty, a little bit of Wiseman's Ferry. And the weather is so much better than down south.
Anybody free this week to show me some more nice roads around the northern side of Sydney?
Hi Heather
My precious is not fixed yet :'(, otherwise i would show you around.
But if it is a nice day defiantly worth a run up to Summer bay (Palm Beach) mid week not many tourist around via Mccars creek rd turn off Monavale rd Terry hills.And lunch at the Newport Arms.
Ps maybe if you sweet talk to Dez he would be up to it. :-*
oh and they have found the odd body or two in Kurringai national park so be carefull ;D
Yeah maybe Heather.
Give me a buzz and tell me what/where/when you'd like to go and I'll see what pops up on my diary.
Hey Matty......depending on timing, i could possibly tag along, do i need a permission note...?
Why not down through Mc Carrs creek and northern beaches.....? Rob's stamping ground
No permission notes needed to go riding with me Brian W. You need a note from your Mum if you bail tho!!
Matty I will give you a call later today.
So I've spoken to the tourist.
We are meeting Thursday at Berowa Mobil.
Heading up and down Old Pac then over to Rob's suggested road, around Akuna Bay through Church Point and to Newport Arms for lunch.
Those who can come along are most welcome.
Hi Heather, Matty, Brian.
I'm "between jobs" at the moment and would love to join in for the day if its ok with you guys ?
But of course.
OK, what time at Berowra ?
Oops.
10am a nice civil hour, once the morning traffic has mostly past.
iirc thursday will be first day of double points
Hey Matty
If you go to Akuna bay you will have to pay to enter the national park.
At the park entrance at the Terry hills end go left just about 100mts from the toll booth it is a sweeping fork intersection and just follow that to church point it is sign posted can't remember what it says.
It is still very twisty and a lot smoother than around Akuna bay section only a little shorter.
If you do enter the park then it well worth the 12KLM trip out to West Head.a real must do for the tourist. :)
as it has just been resealed with smooth bitumen [thumbsup]
And if it is a good day the view is spectacular.take the photo thingy.

Does this mean Thursday night catch up *with special guests!?
Um [roll] *special guest is not staying in the city so no late night city rides for me. If you wanna catch up with me Thursday ride [moto] is the place to be. Sorry I know some people have weird things like bills and jobs. :'(
Done.......Thursday it is at Berowra...10am........Matty,.... McCarrs/Terry hills is my stamping ground so no need to activate your GPS there..(is it still covered in dust btw..????? ;D)....Rob is correct re a fee near Akuna......but i know the way around it.....would be nice to make Palmy maybe.......either before or after Newport .......
Heather has ridden all this way just to see Summer Bay as she loves the show so so so much. [clap]
Don't let her down guys, make sure she ends up at Summer Bay please (or we'll never hear the end of it !!!) ;D
Flamin mongrels, she may even meet Alf ! [thumbsup]
Nick.....i have contacted Summer Bay of her arrival.....from what i have heard to this point......at the very least....half of the Home and Away cast wil be available to greet her....any other ideas...?????
Maybe a BBQ with some nice steaks & snags should be organised ??
We don't want to upset the serial killer...... Also ask her she tried to push Senora Monster into another bike ( aka T bone) last Saturday....... luckily Senora broke the curse
Just checked the RTA website....Double demerits start midnight Thursday so we are safe....(not that we speed).....................................................
................................ ;D
I have just opened up this thread, is this tomorrow?
I have just done an Old road run yesterday but would love to catch up for the arse end of the ride for the Northern beaches area any chance of tagging along ?
I would like to catch up with Heather and Co.
Any chance of a S.M.S. for ETA when and where, Matty ?
Dez 0403191772
Who's Alf?? and Steak 'n snags - yummmm [drool]
Hi Dez. Of course you can join in.
Matty can you give Dez the info he needs please as I don't have a clue. ???
Hey Dez,
