Doh!! :|

I thought the roo came from the left until I watched the vid a dozen times. There is one frame where a dark shadow appears just at the right of the bike.

A little thread hijacking.

A little tweaked. Much is said about 'perfect' fork alignment. The bike handled well without issue @ up to 140 through the mountains on the way home.

You blokes have a wonderful time.
Ride safe and watch out for skippies, cows, wallopers, winnebagos and the ubiquitous slow-moving cockie's ute.

We'll be expecting photos, of course.

Well I am home and had a great weekend.
Enjoyed She'llbe's company Friday, we had an easy 150km ride to the rally, glorious weather.
Tottenham is a neat little village. The racecourse where the rally was held was as pretty as picture (that I don't have). Healthy looking crops of wheat right up the fenceline.

Met up with Bob and Buzz and SteveD arrived a few beers later. It was well catered for and the most high tech rally I ever been to. They had moving pictures and all! I have to clear my head of bike riding dreams now and scribe some quality documents .... (groan)

Bob and She'llbe were staying another night ... if the local council don't lock them out, and Steve,.. may not be too far from Melbourne by about now ....?

You missed a good one you boxerdon'tworks fella's!

cheers
Mal
