Well yesterday (Wednesday) started out not so good. I needed a pair of new tyres for Mr T (max) so the day before, I had phoned the Yamaha dealer in Coffs - no, not in stock but we can get them for you overnight. Bring the bike in first thing tomorrow and we'll put them on. So Andi rode in to Coffs with me on this magical North Coast morning - got to the bike place at 9:30 but the courier had not yet arrived with the new tyres.
So - down to the Jetty for a coffee. Sat in the sun for a while, then back to the bike shop. Andi went home while I went to check on the tyres - not here yet. This went on for a fair while. I had some lunch. Read the paper. Finally the bike was ready to go - at 1:45. So much for first thing!
Anyway, it's all good. I rode straight up the highway to Coomera, where our friend Gloria lives. Late but not a bad ride. Andi had suggested the inland loop from Coffs to Lismore and back on to the highway at Murwillumbah - no traffic - but it would have been a bit further and by the time I got going I just wanted to cover the kilometers...
Some photos will go here, but I am at a kiosk and did not bring the memory stick with me, so will post them later.
Weather report: from the Gold Coast - well what do you expect. PERFECT! But rain predicted for tomorrow when I ride on to Noosa.

Dad, the tyres - how frustrating!
ReplyDeleteScuzzy says hello, but his paws are too big to type effectively on the little keyboard so he asked me to pass it on.
Send love to Gloria x
