23/24 July syd ride

[wingy450sm]

I have the 23-24 of July weekend free and a full set of 13 points so I want to fill it with some twisty fun. Anybody want to do a ride? Happy to do wisemans ferry / st albans or I'll travel down south to macquarie pass depending on interest. Saturday or Sunday or both? :)

[joegas]

I'm in for a one dayer, either day, wisemans way is better I reckon, too many cops down south.

[nith]

Im keen.

Would have to be on the 600rr as the SMR is not rego'd

[wingy450sm]

Yeah bring whoever and whatever. More fun than riding solo.
Any proposed routes? Dural - galstin gourge - Windsor - wisemans - St albans - old pacific hwy then home. Or putty rd?

[wingy450sm]

What about the south coast boys. Lee Mick and matt. Come down and ride Saturday and we can drink Saturday night. Plus chris needs a group ride for his new 690.

[fishpost19]

Sounds good. I'm up all week for Tafe anyway, dunno if I have to work Friday arvo yet (Fri @ tafe finishes like 10am), I can stay up Friday night aswell, but I'm supposed to be back in Nowra for an engagement party Saturday night.

I'll see how things go.

[macdog]

South coast run :D

[AR1]

Keen for a ride, as I just got a new bike. Either north or west?
Might do a shakedown run tomorrow, after removing all the emissions gear (DRZ 400). Should be heading Galston mid morning, but waiting for silicone to cure, so no guarantees .

[wingy450sm]

I don't mind either area but north would be more suitable as no highway riding and some cool back roads getting there. Eg. Galston gourge.

Let's just vote and judge by Friday. I vote north.

[joegas]

I vote north

[jamesb_bau]

i'm not able to attend, bikes in trail mode atm for upcoming rides...

enjoy n watch out for the fuzz....

[wingy450sm]

I've just put the Tard wheels back on so ready to go. With the front forks, I usually wind the top clickers right up but recently discovered the setting on the fork bottom. How did you set your Wr joegas?

[joegas]

I wound it all the up (clockwise) and then two clicks back, tried a few different settings and thought this felt the best..

How many people are coming?

I just put my drd exhaust on, sounds sweet, can't wait to take it for a spin!

[wingy450sm]

I'll set it to what you said and give it a go. 6 people have shown interest, including me but not sure of how many definates.

I have a feeling the weather will be perfect. (fingers crossed)
start and finish at hornsby?

[joegas]

Sounds good, Hornsby BP servo opposite the train station.

Saturday? I can't do Sunday anymore

[wingy450sm]

Perfect!

[AR1]

What time? Count me there.

[wingy450sm]

Meet at 9:30 for a 10:00 kick off
Saturday 23 at Hornsby BP Servo. (across from train station)

[nith]

Weather is not looking too good for Sunday.

Tyres on my bike are 95% slick !

[joegas]

Saturday you mean? it might clear up... fingers crossed...

[nith]

Saturday you mean? it might clear up... fingers crossed...

Woops Sat !

If the roads dry i should be there.

[wingy450sm]

I'm still thinking positive. We can decide Saturday morning.

[joegas]

Sydney area

Partly cloudy. Scattered showers, more frequent along the coastal fringe. Winds south to southwesterly averaging up to 35 km/h decreasing below 30 km/h by early evening.


Should be fine i reckon..

[Pridhac]

The weather is shite at the moment (in Penrith).

[wingy450sm]

Yeah it's looking shit. Sun has to come out sometime this weekend.

[wingy450sm]

The rain has stopped...

[AR1]

Maybe push it back to 10.30 meet to let it dry out a bit? Has stopped here too though which is a good sign.

[wingy450sm]

Probably a good idea.
Meet at 10 for a 10:30 start.

Ps. Haven't watched home and away in years but there are so many nice boobies on there these days!!

[joegas]

And marijuana and shotguns, i thought I was watching underbelly.

Yeah I reckon the weather will be all good.

[wingy450sm]

Don't know if it's a silly question, but do you guys recommend wearing textiles jacket, boots, jeans and pads or leathers with boots?

[joegas]

I'm running leathers case I don't have anything other road gear. Can push a bit harder too : )

[nith]

Just a thought.

If it does rain could meet up for lunch somewhere.

[wingy450sm]

Yeah sounds good. Fingers still crossed for good weather. I'm itching to ride.

[nith]

Just started raining again here.

im out for this ride.

Might take the car for a spin through wisemans and have lunch at berrowa waters.

[wingy450sm]

Yep... It's all over. Damn rain!

[joegas]

It's not raining here, (Bella vista) if some more blue sky appears in the next couple of hours I'm still going for a spin

[joegas]

Got nearly a full sky of blue now

[AR1]

There is sun off in the distance, just got to wait for it to dry out. Afternoon run, or sunday even?

P.s. Redbull X fighters are on 7mate

[wingy450sm]

Let me know if you still wanna go.

[wingy450sm]

Second chance draw. Me nith and Joe are meeting at the bp at 1:30.
Come down!!

[nith]

Thanks for the good afternoon guys.

Hopefully the weather will be with us next time out.

[fishpost19]

I'll be up again August 15-19th, so the 20th I'll be free for a ride if anyone else is keen.

[wingy450sm]

Thanks for coming out guys. Even though the ride was short, the pizza and beer made up for it.
Had a blast. Do it all again in the dry.

[joegas]

I never knew Craig wing rode a motard!

Good to meet you guys, was better than not riding thy for sure! Have to go for a dry ride soon.

[wingy450sm]

I'll be up again August 15-19th, so the 20th I'll be free for a ride if anyone else is keen.

Unless the mrs has booked me somewhere else I'm definately there.

[wingy450sm]
