Rocket,
I'm getting out with Dirtbags and 2 mates tomorrow from 8.30am-about 1pm.
(Have a Court Bbq to get back to)
We are heading out from the big roundabout cnr of Fitzsimmons Lane and Main Rd Eltham at 8.30am.
Then through Xmas Hills to Yarra Glen then on to Kinglake West and through to Yea.
Not a huge ride but.....I won't be doing anything silly as cops will be out for the long weekend... Cheers,
Pete

Re: Melborne ride - Holger the Dane - 11-03-2006
Hi
Although it is great to see a Melbourne ride on the board, I am sorry to say that I can't make it. Family stuff (Sunday) and working (Monday - Friday).
Next Saturday and I'm in.
Have a great ride and I hope you get some other guys to come along.
Wendy is actually out on the CBR as I type this. Lucky bugger. Cheers,
Holge

Hey
You do know that it's going to be 36 degrees on Sunday?
But hey, enjoy. Say Hi to Dirtbags for me. Haven't seen him on the board for a while. Cheers,

Re: Melbourne ride - Sumkhun - 11-03-2006
Hi Riders,
Is this the first ride of the year ? And it's only mid-March !
Sounds great weather for the jock strap and sandshoe riding kit.
However, I don't think I will be able to go because -
a) I have not yet sought permission from my family, friends and neighbours to start the bike so early on Sunday morning
b) there is a sermon tomorrow at the local church about Good vs Evil
c) I have not organised to have someone mind the goldfish , as they get anxious when left unattended
d) I have washed but not polished
e) my tyre pressures have not been checked by a bike shop in preparation for this event
f) I may be expected to welcome a Viking ship into port, at short notice
AND
g) I have not had enough advance warning to be able to get a T-shirt embroidered to commemorate the event.
Oh yeah - and there may be Hondas present.

Re: Melbourne ride - Holger the Dane - 11-03-2006
Sumkhun, do you mind if I use some of those????
by the way, emergency embroidery can be ordered through 'one stop embroidery shop' in Sunbury.
So I guess you will be there bright and early then? Cheers,
Holge

Re: Melbourne ride - Holger the Dane - 12-03-2006
Looks like you guys got home early.
I made it too Yea by 11.30, but I missed you.
So I trundled down to Kinglake West, then to Kinglake, then to Healsville then to Lillydale then ringwood then into town to see a mate then home via the Calder... Home by 2.30pm.
Bugger that I missed you but I can blame that on the 15 minute conversation I had with a copper in Romsey on the way. But that's another story... Cheers,
Holge

Re: Melbourne ride - Djpete - 12-03-2006
yeah Tom,
I had to be home by 12 as we had 10 people from our court coming over for lunch.
Got back by 12.30...
Hope it was just a freindly conversation with the cop.... Cheers,
Pete

Re: Melbourne ride - Holger the Dane - 12-03-2006
He rolled up at the servo while I was filling the Bus and had a little chat. I thought that he was going to get upset about the mods (no mud guard etc.) but 2 minutes into the conversation he starts telling me that another cop mate of his has a purple one just like mine and that if your keep you head down and raise your bum slightly at 300klms then you can get some more top speed
Now, who do we know who works as a copper and rides an '04 pruple/black busa with G.P.I. fitted and doesn't mind giving it a little bit from time to time??? hmmm?
So yes, it was a feindly and welcomed conversation. Looks like there are some good ones out there after all. Cheers,
Holge
