Title: Spring Ride
Post by: ribbert on November 04, 2012, 07:09:12 AM
Sorry to brag in front of all the Northern Hemispherians prepping their bikes for winter storage but it's Spring down under.

Fitted the EBC pads to the recently fitted blue dots (excellent!) and hit the High Country for the weekend.
Victorian weather at its best. Temps on the high 20's, dry roads, impossibly blue skies and Springtime lushness everywhere.

Went over Falls, Buffalo and Hotham, stayed overnight at Anglers Rest and enjoyed some of the best bike roads in the State for 2 days.

Hey Noel. From one Aussie to another: Get Stuffed. LOL  :good:

But seriously, I just got back to USA from Oz two weeks ago, and there was some great riding weather up in Brissie. Just NO BIKE.

Back here in Utah the weather is a little on the chilly side, but I plan to keep riding through the winter, as long as the roads are snow-free. I've got new Pirelli Sport Demons front 'n back, rebuilt forks, rear shock dialed-in for two-up riding, new front fender, one of RPM's fork braces, rego'd and insured, tank of gas.  Bitch is ready to rock 'n ride.

Speaking of which, I have the itch to get something big and throbbing between my legs today. Logan Canyon is sounding good.

Cheers mate.

Chris

Heh, a friend of mine just posted this from Utah just this week:     :shok:

Hope it's better where you are!
