Not again with the bike?...

Yes, and what a great day for a ride. Took the bike for a bit of a spin to help run in the engine this weekend. Did a round loop up to the mountains, down to the Megalong Valley, back up the mountains, along Bells Line of Road along the M2 back across the bridge and home. There were some great roads and coming up the Megalong Valley was a bit of a highlight. It's a short curvy side-track. Coming back up I could test the bike's handling on corners. Speed is a good thing. Bells Line is another brilliant stretch of road. The legal speed limit on most of it is 100. This gives you a chance to open the bike up and test the sweeping bends at some decent speed. The bike swings from corner to corner. I took it easy on most of the ride but occasionally it was nice to test myself. Stopped off at the Kurrajong Heights pub for a drink on the way down the range. Great view from up there.

Who is that masked crusader? The immense expanse of road lay before him in that great southern land, blowing the burbs to the weeds, paying little heed to the laws of the land, the irresistible pull of White Line Fever grips his heart. His mission; to do more k’s than any inner city dweller in the nation; to touch the red line with the little white needle just one more time; to seek out still more geocash and sushi purveyors in this wide brown land. Ladies and Gentlemen what is there left to ask but ….
…...um, is there room for a pillion passenger on that thing?

I haven't left a message for a little while as I've been rendered speechless (typeless) by pics of man-on-bike action.

I've had to employ a student to stand close by and waft a hankie at me with smelling salts on standby...
feeling a bit giddy...

Oh baby, what can I say.
You rev my engine from afar,
and hopefully in person again some day.
