AUSTRALIAN HARLEY RIDERS FORUM

Got the Heriglide back on the road after fitting another set of lifters. New engine is now run in and due for change of oils. Nice little punt up to Woodford, across to Kilcoy and then up the hill and over to Crows Nest. Down to Murphys Creek, flicked over to Gatton and meandered home via Rosewood and Amberley. Managed to put a couple of tanks through her so she should be good for a couple of overnighters before the end of the year.

Gday to all, got the Bob out today for the first time in a while. Started at Ricks at Palmwoods for a coffee, up to Montville then Stanley River road via Maleny - Postman’s Track to Connondale back to Maleny then a downhill to Palmwoods and Ricks for a cold one. Round trip 170kms but mainly twisties

See some of you at Imbil next weekend.

Cheers Frothy

Gday all, after waking up to a nice clear morning on Sunday, I rode up over Mt Glorious, hardly any bikes on the road mid morning !, found them all parked up at the cafe on Mt Glorious . Steady run down to the Esk bakery for some smoko, the pub had Mental as Anything playing, fair crowd already there at 11.00am. Decided to sidestep the crowd and putted onto Kilcoy for a gingerbeer, had a yarn with a couple other riders there, took the road past the Woodford jail, up over Mt Mee then home. All in all a nice cruisy ride, avagoodweek everyone.

Yeh, Benno. Col & his Wife own the Esk bakery. Col is a member on here. Nice people

Well Pedro & Myself rode down to Imbil today to catch up with everyone on the Imbil weekend away. We just done a day run. 525km for us. Was great catching up with everyone.

Good to catch up with you again Steamer and good to meet Pedro as well. We enjoyed the day , doing a tad under 500klms. The youngster was going to come out to dinner with the wife and I, but after a shower, she hit the sack and that was the end of that.
A big day on the bike for her but she is getting used to doing more miles. She loved meeting all of you guys and putting faces to names. The ride mapped out by MH was excellent with a bit of everything. The views from the top of the mountain range was superb.

Steamer and I left Hervey Bay at 7.00 am did a day ride to Imbil, met up with everyone at 9.00 am then led by MH, he took us all over the Hinterland, up and down the mountains, Twisties, twisties and more twisties…. (challenging for me, as I don't see twisties in my part of the world) Was an awesome experience, and I gotta say thanks to MH and of course, Marg.... the scenery around Montville, Maleny is a sight defiantly to see. Views from the mountain, unbelievable.
After lunch at the Maleny Pub, Steamer and I parted and went down through Landsborough and up "The Bruce" back home. Home at 4.30 pm 525 ks.. a good ride.

but the highlight of the ride was meeting many members for the first time and finally putting names to faces.....


A note to myself.....gotta go out and find some twisties to ride...…what a thrill. With 2500 ks on my new rubber, its the first time I got to use the edges of the tyre What a buzz.

Weekend was spent riding up to Imbil getting maggoted Friday night then driving the porcelain bus sat morning , missing the Saturday ride then hit the piss sat night then back on the super glide and home great weekend as always and even better catching up with all the forumites. Footnote Of the weekend Robbo drops his guts every 2 minute and can clear an outdoor area with his crop dusting

Good pics Pedro,that place looks a popular bike haunt....
And sounds like everyone had a good time

just got home from WA Looks like it was a great week end sorry I missed it hope to catch up for a ride soon.

Glad to hear ya's all enjoyed the weekend and the ride .. those mountains and twisties certainly take it outta ya when already wrecked at the starting grid ... must admit i did turn it up a bit this year for the purpose of giving Robo a good mix of what we have here .. great effort from he and Nelly to ride down from Happy Rocks, bigger effort from Steamer and Pedro who had a 2 hr ride just to get to the ride, then 2 hr's home again.
Here's a few more pic's for those who are not on the FB page

How rude of me .. was also a fine effort from EZI and his lil princess to make it up for Satdee's ride and some sly trifle for breakfast .. woulda been at least a 2 hr ride up as well, glad you made it mate

Thanks again Rob, for mapping out the ride. Great to see a few faces i met previously,

It was a good day and an excellent punt around the hills, plus always willing to make the effort to enjoy some of Marg's trifle

Enjoyed a nice little punt up to Sunny Coast yesterday with the young one. Plan was to go up early, have a swim, brekky and then head for home. Halfway up, hit a little bit of drizzly rain which lasted to Caloundra. I was only riding in Tshirt and vest so a little wet when we got there. Decided to pass on the swim and had a nice long brekky instead. Ride home was the same, back through a bit of rain and dried out by the time we got home.

Rolled the Fat out yesterday..
First time for along time..
Had me a couple of hours of Robo time around the local area..nothing great. Just good to get on it again.
But a funny story to be told..
Riding back to home I managed to tail the local cops.
Getting closer to my suburb I was up their arse. I can see the Driver was paying attention to me in his review mirror.
I thoughts....ok. I’m going to get the blue lights in a tick.
Next minute out of a side street this young lout comes flying out in front of them on a unregistered motorcross bike.
Straight across their nose. Onto to the foot path and went like a scolded cat in the opposite direction...
My immediate reaction was good you champion....
Waiting for the lights to light up. Emergency handbrake and u turn to chase the young fucker...
Nothing.....nothing. Not even a twiinch of action. Just kept on cruising the fucks. I throw both arms inthe air as if to say....WTF. To them. Nothing no response.......
I turned off and the fucking grubs just kept on cruising...
I thought pull me over you arse holes....I was amped up.
Nothing......fuck me I wish I had the go pro on. Makes me want to put a dash cam as such on the bike...

Haaaaahhhaaaaaaa.. ....Yeah well. That to ol mate. Been like forever for that fella had a looky around.

Had a couple of days to spare, so Friday we headed up to Toowoomba. It's amazing how quickly the forest regenerates itself after a bushfire. I'm talking the Esk to Hampton road. Severely burnt before Xmas, but coming back strong now. Saturday was Toowoomaba out to Dalby then the Kiamkillenbun pub. Stopped for a couple of drinks there and a good chat with the publican. Great little pub, lots of memorabilia. Real friendly publican and locals. Be a good spot for an overniter. Then up through Bunya Mountains to Kingaroy. Camped the night the there, dinner at the Rissole, good feed, great band, but outrageous drink prices, then sunday back home thru Goomeri, Kilkivan etc. Good little round trip. That's what life should be all about!

Little run down to the sacks territory......Agnes for Fish and Chips for lunch over looking the main beach with the odd scantily clothed tourists walking past......What a place.
