    kev11e, do ya know where "Murrays Garage" at Albion Park is? It's the little Caltex servo on the Illawarra Highway (the last little servo directly opposite Saint Paul's Catholic Primary School, at the intersection of Tongarra Rd / Calderwood Rd / Macquarie St). All the bikes should be lined up on the road out the front of the school, directly OPPOSITE the servo...

Not a bad day a bit cold to start with.
Hope the photo shut went well. Lunch was good I needed a tree to sleep under!!!!!!!
Left Nowra We went back to Robbo,Wayne and I went out the back way though Silverdale then home.
Good to meet some new people.
Cheers David

[pan]

There was no photo shoot fellas! It was just us stopping and deciding where inKiama we could have a quick bight, as most of us were in a hurry to get home... I would've preferred to hang out at Nowra and have a long lunch, more riding, more coffee, etc... Why, oh why did I marry and have a family!!?!

[Dale]

What a great day Pan must have finally got through to god ..

Actually, I nearly got to speak to god myself (200+ into the left hander at the bottom of Barrengarry mountain was a bit hairy to say the least)

Here's a couple I took at the photo shoot we didn't have ..

   

   

   

   

   

Let's do it again really soon ..

Thanks for a great day out, everybody!!!
I was initially planning on taking a few happy snaps, but I became a little bit pre-occupied with my steed, due to it giving me some grief at various moments (....and at other times she went very, VERY well!! lol)
I always enjoy meeting, hangin' out & riding with both newer and also longer established fellow AHC members for the very first time, so a big shout out and thanks to Foot, kev11e, BYO and Bob for coming along and providing great company!! (...apologies if I have accidentally omitted anyone?)
It's always great to catch up and chat with all the usual suspects as well - Pan, Frank-OH!!!, The SiMMoNaToR, Wayneb60 and Dale!!
And btw Dale, I'm expecting MANY thanks FROM YOU......Personal Training one-on-one "boot camp-style" cardio sessions can be rather costly, and the freebie early morning ones that I provide you with occasionally are tailored to suit you personally.........so next session I'm going to get you to push both my fat arse and my busa (combined weight of approx. 360 kgs!!!) even TWICE AS FAR as you did yesterday morning!!?!! lol (guys, if these PT sessions continue on a regular basis....expect to see a fully ripped and cut looking Dale flashing & kissing his big guns pool-side at "The Tathra Beach Busa Bash" [shameless plug] in December this year!!!
And a big THANKS to Pan for organising yet another great club day out!!!!
Hoping to see even more club members turn out next time...

[Dale]

Yeah .. thanks mate . Nothin' like a good workout first thing in the morning pushin' a busa up and down the servo driveway ..

Like I said ..... "GET A GEN2" ..

[pan]

"Get a Gen 2", so Dale is pushing 390kgs next time...LOL

Ah, well, in that case, the place for lunch should have been Werri Beach Fish Shop :-)
And then wake up from the post-prandial doze through Kiama Bends to start the ride home...

G'day
Thanks for the thanks Bazman...we were chatting about comms at Robertson...the gadget I have/had fitted to my 'bus is an Autocomm unit. Capable of different inputs, rider-pillion comms, CB operation. At the risk of starting a war along the lines of which tyre is best, I'll say that when I fitted that it was the best alternative (in my opinion). Things might have changed in the past ten years, but.... :-)
One thing to be mindful of in their operation...the volume increases when you turn the knob backwards ie anticlockwise ie intuitively down...
