Thanks for replies everyone! :)
PITS = Pie In The Sky at Cowan, which is about 20 mins past Hornsby .. give or take

From Nth Sydney, head down pacific highway to the F3 turn off (freeway goin up north to gosford etc) .. how you get there is up to you. Pacific hwy from Nth Syd is just shit traffic . .

Once ya hit the freeway, take the BEROWRA exit (which is the second exit .. first being Mt Colah) .. turn right at the lights back onto Pacific Hwy and keep goin til ya see the Cowan exit (about 2 k's up the road) .. cant get lost there. Just keep following this, you will pass Cowan station, then it will get twisty again .. and a few minutes later you will be heading up the hill ..when ya reach the top, keep goin down the slope and look out to ya right to stop and a shit load of bikes ... hard to miss. ;)

Or, if thats daunting, let us know when ya heading up and some of the guys can meet ya at a place ya know, and give you the Royal escort up there . .

Oh, and Welcome dude!

And on the seventh day Richo ended his work which he had made. Decided resting was for soft cox, straddled the REX and headed up the old road.
And it was good

Welcome to the Madhouse, Chris. There is a third Friday of the month run which leaves from PITS if that helps.
I've spent over 40 years of my life riding bikes .... the rest of it, I wasted ..

Hi there, my name's Greg, I live in Maraylya just near Windsor and the imfamous putty. I've been riding and rebuilding / customising old Kawi's for about ten years and never even knew of this site nor the club... Guess I was spending way to much time in the garage..

Well I've now decided to stop building for a while and start riding so I'll definately be showing up for some ride days soon. Below are my two bikes and I hope to meet you soon at a ride.

I'm a sucker for the old kwaka's....

Is it time to get on the cans yet? :drinkers:
