Ooops, didn't reply Ken sorry. The trip to Wollongong was great apart from me having massively painful knees most of the way down. Was popping a few painkillers etc, weren't really helping. As I was hobbling around that night it hit me, bloody knee armour in my leather pants!. It was crushing my knee caps as I rode along. So undid the velcro from inside each knee, threw the armour in my bag and after that those leathers were as comfy as a well worn pair of jeans  :good2:  Pity I didn't do that before I left home that day,!
