local ride and a few pix

#1 PostAuthor: 75z » Sun Jul 22, 2012 7:27 am

We had a great bit of winter weather this weekend so I thought I would make the most of it. Poor old RGH was called in to work so just me out and about today.

Quick 100 mile round our area, pulled up, hopped off, snapped and off I went again.

We are lucky to have a bit of variety to choose from round here.

Started pix in Heron, WA and then a few along the way finishing up in Halls Head, WA with the Indian Ocean backing me up.

Roll on summer! The pix will be better when RGH.

Great pics thanks for sharing. We don't get many winter days like that in the UK. Somehow don't think Blackpool and Rhyl have the same photogenic appeal :lol: :lol:

The old round tankers looks good in the blazing sun.

Hopefuly you left some grub at Davo,s Diner for next weekend, as I worked SAS (Sat & Sun) surpose its my shout for a big feed up in the Hills.

Maybe Dave at Zorstcraft can make a 4-2, that way we can see the other side.

It gets a bit chilly at speed and believe it or not the gloves are still needed for the sunburn - it is a big drama in the summer and still has to be watched in the winter. I must admit it was a great day for fanging about yesterday although the pix look a bit dull as my photographer skills are even worse than my bike polishing!

You are so "right" - God, I am a crap photographer. I also notice that those racy chicks in the bike mags are never around to drape themselves over my bike when I need them ......

we have quite a few old Kwaks amongst us and there is always a ride on.

I moved here in 2004 and things were a lot cheaper then. The Aus dollar is just too strong of late and that makes things hard on the GBP. When I moved over I got about $2.80 to GBP1 and now it is about $1.48. Thankfully I sold up before the crash and changed my cash before it went crazy.

breakfast ride on in the morning as long as the weather is OK.

pics to follow.
