Awesome post, I'm gonna repost it on CanberraRIDERS if you don't mind dude? Can't see the images at work, are they work safe? Is there anyone we should credit by means of a link or anything?

There is nothing better than sitting about 3rd or 4th in a group of friends you know and trust (riding skill wise) riding "the pace" carving some well known bends 8) ;) .

We are also lucky to have lots of riders in this community who can do it well ;)

Just got back from leading / riding with a group of 10 mates throughand around the Oxley

The lads tick all the boxes when knowing what their limits are, relatively young mob too.

From what I've seen of Hoffy Russ Dave and co up the OR

You boys know bout it too 8)

Good to see peeps setting the example and practicing what they preach!

Just stay off my racing line :shock:

Some of the best rides I have ever done - at speed and occasionally just cruising, have been with riders from here. Always good fun..... :kuda:
