travels & mishaps

Post by gigksrc »

Went on a jaunt in the country last week.
Headed off at 9.30 after promising myself I'd start at 6am. Pfft ...
Got as far as Kings Way & the clutch cable broke :( Thought my camping trip was not going to happen but Brighton Kwaka came to the rescue. Mick was coming back through the city on his new ZX10 & let me ride it back to his shop while he rode Tabitha (tough name huh?) however you do it without gears. Poor bugger had to do a bit of stunt riding to run along next to it to start it & then somersault on to the seat over the top of my tent, sleeping mat, sleeping bag & giant bag of make up & stuff, plus of course some more stuff. Anyway at 1 in the afternoon I was back on the road & had decided to go straight up the boring Hume to save time to get to Myrtleford. Hot!!!! ffs ... had to stop & pour bottles of water down my jacket every half an hour to keep going.
So I had a nice trip away except for dropping Tabitha on a mean rocky dirt road :oops: very sad, very sad ... some scratches & a cracked fairing & then riding the road from Whitfield pub with a bug inside my visor & another one which crawled down the inside of my jacket into my top into my bra & proceeded to bite the hell out of me. I did a good war dance when I finally got off the bike.
Well anyway I'm back & sort of got the computer happening again.

Very sorry to hear about Wendy.

Apart from all that other stuff it's great to be able to take all that camping gear& get out into the country. When it's not so filthy dry up there it's a beautiful part of Victoria to wander around. I wouldn't recommend anyone going anywhere up that way this weekend. Just hang around home. The bush will be scary. I thought it looked the worst I've ever seen it last week.

I thought all of you red blooded guys would have more problem comprehending the wet t-shirt competition that gig was having, rather than the bug crawling into her bra! :shock: :lol:
