My other "minor mishap" which includes an cool sudden 180deg about turn....will be posted in the next section of photos I'll post tomorrow.  :lol8:

Thanks for the awesome pic's Bring it on. I think the question to be asked is "who didn't buy a farm" :imaposer:

Right....lets get going with the photos from the last leg of the day's ride :ricky: :ricky:

Once again...that hooter sounded & everyone mounted their scooters & was out of there very eager to enjoy the 3rd leg of this truly "Well Organised & AWESOME" ride :thumleft:

Few various shots of riders :ricky:

 

[Shaun]

I just loved the eagerness of this little dude. :lol8: :lol8: :lol8:

Everyone was going around this little water pool...& he simply gave his bike gas & belted through the water like a true little Boss ;D :thumleft: :thumleft:

Nicely done buddy....showing us all how it should be done

 

[Shaun]

Once again around the next corner....this little dude twists his right hand & takes on the next little bit of water. :ricky: :lol8: :lol8:

He sure was having a great time. Really nice to see little guys getting started into biking from a young age ;D

 

[Shaun]

Few random photos..

Pluto in the first photo..

I think this first little section of grass (in the last photo) was where Goose had a "Little Encounter with the Prime Real Estate" on his big GSA Bowser  > :lol8: :lol8:

@ Goose....tell us the story buddy ot: :imaposer: :imaposer:

 

[Shaun]

I'm sure that most of you guys will agree that the grass here over this section was pretty frikking slippery  but made for some nice practice in "counter balance" as your bike's tyres tended to have a mind of their own :lol8: :lol8: :lol8:

 

[Shaun]

Now for the footage of my appointment with the "Estate Agent" when I had did a "Close Inspection on some Prime Local Real Estate" :imaposer: :imaposer: :imaposer:

I had been riding behind the 650GS for a while & had all good intensions of moving over to the left lane to overtake. I noticed in my mirror that there was a gap in the flow of guys passing us & then quickly looked to the left behind me to make sure the coast was clear in order to pass. As I prepared to make the transition across the middle wet grass section & into the left track.....my front wheel gripped nicely through the process....but eish....that back wheel definitely had a "bit too my of the Right Hand on the Throttle syndrome" through it all  :lol8: :lol8: :lol8: & in literally a split second.... my scooter did a pretty "ungraceful 180deg about sideways turn"  atch: :lol8: :lol8: :lol8: & promptly came to rest facing the "now on-coming flow of traffic" :imaposer: :imaposer:

Ooooopps. Sorry guys for keeping you all up while Pluto & a few other guys kindly assisted me in getting  my scooter back onto 2-wheels.

 

[Shaun]

....Continued :lol8: :lol8:

 

[Shaun]

After all the "T's had been crossed & I's dotted on the Property Deed of Sale".... I said Sorry to my scooter ;D ;D & thanked all that assisted me & we set off again. :ricky:

 

[Shaun]

I have to say the both Goose & I did a good test of our Sena S-20 BT headsets through out this ride.... & we both admitted of how impressed & happy we were with its "range, battery life & AWESOME sound quality" :thumleft: :thumleft:

The comms between Goose & I had broken a bit along this previous section only due to the distance between us @ times as well as the little "dips/hills"...... then a little way up the road our Sena BT headsets made a connection again, meaning Goose was not too far behind me. So I snapped a few shots of the guys passing by as I waited for Goose to come into site (in the last 2 photos).

Few random shots..

Various random photos :ricky:

[Shaun]

Few random photos on the way to this little water crossing..

 

[Shaun]

Thought this would be a cool spot to get a few photos of some of the riders making their way through the water :ricky: :ricky:
