Attn Northern members “ Great Northern Adventure 4th to 12th Sept 2011

[VNSVLE]

Well I will start off by thanking Shane for organising the ride and the crew for one of the best weeks of my life. One word "Unreal", if anyone ever has a chance to get up that way on the bike I would highly recommend it. Also thankyou to Troppo for being our tour guide for the day blasting around the ranges just awesome.
4000km + of the best twisties, sweepers, road in general and group of peple that I have ever had the pleasure of riding on and with.
Apart from a few hiccups which no doubt you will hear about once the rest of the team get home you could not have asked for better weather, roads, people, everything basically.
My trip home was a little steady due to a blown fork seal and having a rather undesirable back tyre but many thanks to our Sweeper Barry () and Andy for being part of the 'Slow' crew home which helped keep my sanity intact for the most part.
A couple of pictures for you no doubt there will be many more up over the next couple of days.
Cheers
Russell, Shane and Barry at Cooktown
