Stopped off at Baddaford farm stall for lunch and cofee,always good!
Met some roadbikers on their way home to Queenstown after the Midnite rally in Bathurst.....as always seems the case,they said a couple were killed yesterday on their bike just outside Bathurst. Very sad!

Instead of tuning right at the top,we decided to continue straight towards Whitlesea....good choice,a stunning old pass called The devils bellows!
The road just got better and better(I mean worse)

Cool Ride Edgy! You don't hang around to get the ride report up bru. I thoroughly enjoyed my therapy session today  :biggrin: and was once again reminded how one can do a good 400km odd round trip in our backyard on some of the finest DS roads ... melting snow snot an all! Hardly saw another vehicle most of the 'gravel' travel. Oh and guess what I have learnt today as well = a steering damper is great in assisting with snot skeeing as well  :ricky: When that tail wags the wildog does not wag so easily and keeps going ...  :3some:
 
Lekker, lekker, wens ek was daar! en ook lekker fotos. My two favorite bikes, but I guess thats why I ride HPN, it marries the best of both into one.
Big Dom if you want to post pics here of that bike a yours, you should first remove that damn screen and don't come with that wind making me tired bullshit, if you are big enough to ride an HP2 you should be big enough to ride without a screen. Or else get a RT with heated grips.
A naked bike is the ultimate freedom, one with big screen is only half a freedom!!!
 
I agree about the HPN , but I disagree about the screen part , a screen makes ny life a pleasure ! :pot:
