Ok, I'm home. We are sitting at Max's house, and I'm not sure about the others, but I'm dying to get on the road. We were all sorry yesterday morning when we geared up for the last time, and entertained ourselves for the first few hours practising all our new circus tricks, things to to when riding a bike for many hours at a time.
We crossed the boarded into Victoria. Bruce's Mum said if you have nothing good to say about something, just say nothing at all. Albury was lovely. The sky cleared and the temp went up 10 degrees. We opened the throttles for the first time in two days, Bruce flung himself off the bike on the Murray Bridge and kissed the ground. Cars were weaving and swerving, assuming the pope had a new and groovy form of transport. The trip up the Hume was boring, only made more interesting by the continuous roadworks. Gave us loads of time to practise standing on the pegs and seeing who we could overtake.
The plan was to go along the Great Ocean Road, but the fog and rain belted us by the time we hit the bottom of the road. We struggled on, but Bruce's tyres are so badly squared off, his bike was uncontrollable in the corners. It was scary to sit behind, I can't begin to imagine what it was like to ride.
We've been discussing what was the most intersting part of the trip. The riding was fantastic, the bikes were brilliant, the scenery was indescribable. We took a heap of photos, but they just don't do the place justice. But the best thing was the people we met, when ever we were in trouble, nothing was too much trouble for them to help us and everyone had an interesting story.
The other thing we appreciated was the support from the club. Thanks guys, it has been amazing.
Take care

P.S. Bruce and Simmo are on their way home with the escort. If you see a flock of busas, give them a wave.
