Don't know what happened to the previous post that I did a couple of days ago - no sign of it - so will give a brief rundown on the last few days.
After staying in Goulburn on Friday night, rode on to Barb and Mike's at Avoca, just north of Sydney, on Saturday. Weather dismal until north of the city, from then on just about perfect. Spent the day with B&M entertaining other friends of theirs for lunch and dinner. Sunday was a lay-day.
Then on Monday, lunch with a group of friends - Jenny, John (another biker) and Lyn, and Rob (or Rod?) and Yvonne - all from the Woy Woy Gosford Avoca area. Very pleasant (see photo above), then onto the bike and off to Bulahdelah, a couple hours further north.
Tuesday - first day of spring! A great ride today, stopping at the National Motorbike Museum at Nabiac, where 700 bikes on display brought back a lot of memories for me. A few of them are quite familiar to me.
The Pacific Highway has certainly improved a lot in recent years, at least as far as Kempsey - and the ride along this beautiful coast in perfect weather was great. The ease of freeway riding makes it possible at last to truly appreciate the spectacular landscape it is set in.
But the tyres on the TMax are doing that motorbike thing - no sign of wear and all of a sudden the tread is evaporating by the kilometre - must get new ones ASAP which means Coffs Harbour tomorrow. So I call cousin Andi at Bellingen and organise to stay with him tonight. It was good to see him and relax with a beer on his verandah.
His son Louis is just home from school now - so I must stop blogging and start socialising - will update again in a day or two.
