Home safely last night from Tallangatha. Bike washed, fuelled and ready for Sunday ride with the delivery to Amberight cafe of Tex's poster and a warning about the next year
It was good to see the familiar faces and meet the new members. Fantastic weekend Thanks everybody for making it another success
Have to take it back a bit that readiness as that bloody hugger needed fixing as well. Chopped 150 mm off to clear the wheel properly. Special thanks go to FrankO for staying with me and helping to get me going when that hugger saga started.
All you guys with Pyramid huggers on Gen2 beware of 55 profile tyres as they will rub at the front section giving you sudden hebe jebies when you least expected.

Finally home Wednesday evening 7.20pm. Great ride even thou i had some rain off and on, and no more tickets lol.
Hey Shifu, even my chain lasted all the way home :) 55,000km with chain lube
Total km on trip 5,480km. Great to meet everyone again.
Not sure about Adelaide next yr, looking at 5 days travel each way, or might be better after the Bash to just keep going all the way around the block

Glad you're back safe mate. I'm really sorry I pissed off without seeing you. I thought about you when I was fuelling up in Bega. I nearly went back ..

Good to know you made it safely Chris, as that grease really destroyed your chain and I was worried a bit if it is going to last the trip home It would be fantastic if you could make it to Adelaide next year. Clearly an opportunity for the new trip record and there could be a worthy trophy for that Please try hard
Will try Andrew, time to order the new chain and sprockets now:)
