Today (Sunday) turned out to be a good day, better than the cold wet days that we have had recently although we do need the rain here in central vic. Rolled the 6 out of the shed at about 1.30pm just after I had picked up my son from a birthday party, he wanted me to pick him up with the bike, but that would have meant I would have had to ride on the dirt!!!
The 6 sprang to life and after warming up I headed of down the Calder toward Castlemaine, stopped at the BP in the main street of Castlemaine to fill up with optimax, and meet a mate with his VTR 1000 (yes its a Honda, but I dont hold that against him!). Continued on to Daylsford where we stopped for a bit and watched the world go by, and compared the Kwaka and Hondas good and bad points (Kwakas good & Hondas Bad
).From there we headed toward Hepburn and then turned toward Newstead. I gave the 6 a squirt a couple of times and let the VTR play catchup on the way to Newstead. Turned toward Maldon from Newstead and took a quick hike up Mt Tarrengower (again, see last weeks post).
At the top of Tarrengower was a Kangaroo that was injured or something as it was hoping in circles, and after a couple of minutes tried to ride pillion on the 6 by almost hoping into the back of the bike!
Deciding that a Kangaroo pillion wasnt a good idea and riding was the order of the day I headed down Tarrengower and back to Bendigo.
Beaut day for a ride, covered about 140km and loved every minute of it, great to be back on the bike after so long without one.
Hope I havent bored everyone, please feel free to comment, let me know where some good rides are around central vic.
Ride Safe
