Just a note here. I am not a certain starter myself at the moment. My ankle is taking longer than I thought to heal. If I cannot make the ride then Training Wheels (Paul) has agreed to take over. He knows the area pretty well and will provide a good ride and some top video.

Hope I havn’t put you on the spot with the video bit Paul!

No worries Al,

It should be a good ride, whoever leads. What say I bolt a sidecar onto the DRZ and you be behind the camcorder? Less stops for me that way.

Myself, Al and Rogerdodger were out that way back in November. Here is some video:

Hi Al,

There are a couple of Singletonians who may be tagging along on this ride.
One (Bear) sounds confident that he can make it, and the other (Tony) should be free of his current work committments. Both were hoping to join my ride next Saturday but things didn’t go to plan.

Cheers,

Hi vman,

Thanks for the compliment.

I just posted anothery on the Ride Report for the Sugarloaf Wattagans Lookout Loop Ride (16th May), and yet again I’m not in it . May have to tee up Al with the camcorder for next weekend.

Cheers,
TW

Sorry folks, but I am pulling the pin. Rode Stroud on Tuesday and the bike took a hammering from dragging it under trees. Actually caught fire at one stage. Smoke with smell of electrical burning from behind headlight. Made it back ok but next morning no electrics at all. Totally flat battery and a melted main fuse.

Investigated the wireing at the back of the headlight and found a connection from the ignition switch had shorted out and the insulation had smouldered causing the smell and smoke.

Collateral damage was a broken indicater, tool bag ripped of the back and my speedo cable hanging loose.

So, as the battery is over 6 years old I have ordered a new one instead of trying to charge the old one.

I will leave it up to Paul (Training Wheels) to lead the ride if he wants to.

Once again I apologize, not good form to organise a ride then pull out.
