A ride at last!

After 2 months of not riding due to bad weather or work commitments it was great to finally head out for a short ride to Lorne and back via the Great Ocean Road(GOR).

Clunes central Vic

Where better to go on a chilly Sunday than Ballarat - renowned for its warmth & sunshine.
We took a run to visit a mate of ours Andy in Ballarat. He fired up his Norton Commando and we took a run to the historic township of Clunes. It was quite sunny but still pretty cold at 12C nevertheless.

Autumn in the Otways

Started sunny but cold, then got cloudy and colder as we climbed to Beech Forest Vic.

Peter's new CB1000R

A mate of mine, Peter, crashed his 07' Repsol Fireblade over in Tasmania back in February. It's taken him a while to get on top of his injuries and sort out a new motorcycle. He decided to go with a change from sports style of the 'Blade. Pete wound up buying a Honda CB1000R and is loving it. He really likes the torque of the detuned 'Blade motor and the ease of riding an unfaired, short wheelbase machine.

Easter at Broadford

Afternoon run with a black Commando

Mrs Tarsnakes & I hooked up with my mate Steve for a quick run up to Forrest for a coffee and check out the West Barwon Dam.

The Black Commando

 Steve & Jules

D & J. Steve suggested that he should take some shots of us - thanks mate!

All up a great afternoon's riding. Great to catch up with Steve and get a ride in as well.

Perfect Autumn day

Had a brilliant day out riding with Marty. A far cry from last Saturday's biblical storms. We did the usual loop thru the Otways.

Always good to chat to Paul and Maree at the Gellibrand store. They recently did a trip around Tassie two up on their KTM.

While stopped at Gellibrand for a drink and chat,  a guy from Cairns, (far north Queensland) pulled in on his well travelled Moto Guzzi Breva.
