Good little collection of people out today.
Bit of traffic for a short while going through Heathcote but nothing at all down the Old Princess.
Had the most traffic I've encountered up the Pass, got past them as quick as possible.

Here's a snap for you Jukie, more on my flickr as always.

cheers
Matty...

Hope everyone got home okay once we split up and went off in 3-4 directions.

Firstly i like to thank Steph, for filling in for me, I hope the boys didn't pick on you too much.  I am also glad you guys had a great ride with no rain, love the pics Matty.

And Jukie did we tell you there is another woman rider, Steph, on a rather nice Monster?  [moto]

Yes I have met Steph, and i wish I was there to ride with her and to protect her from you guys, but maybe next time

But who would have protected her from you? ... or should I say ... who would have protected Craig's credit card?

Good to see you back on the road too Craigo.

And Matty from your photos I would never have known there was a 696 along for the ride  ... and so begins the mini 696 related threadjack:

Called into North Coast V-Twins during the week and straddled my first 696, didn't get the chance to ride one but my overall feeling was that it is a chick's bike (no offence intended) - I know it has as much power as my bike, probably better brakes in a lighter package but it felt really small (even for a short arse like me). Matty's photos also show it to be shorter than the 'old-style' monster. The other thing is that it was quite uncomfortable to sit on from a blokes point of view (note again that I didn't actually ride it).

The styling has grown on me bit by bit, it will be interesting to see () how the 1100 feels  .
