The general plan for the day was for me to head north with my son and the HOG Chapter for a ride, turn around and meet my wife and other kids at Tea Gardens for lunch on the way back. My wife had planned to leave an hour or so after me and the quick but late departure put a spanner into the works about what the new plans were.
It's been a few months since I joined the local chapter of the Harley Owners Group and other than the ride to Denman a while back weather and other commitments have kept me from riding with them again. I unexpectedly found some free time today, looked at Hogswill and found that it was the day for March's New Member Ride.
It's Saturday, and the weather looks OK but before I go for a ride I need to wash off the grime that settled on the Road King riding home from Sydney in the wet on Monday afternoon. My daughter was keen to help in order to secure a seat on the ride for her second official outing. An hour and a half later the Harley-Davidson was sparkling....
Just so we are clear... no puns intended anywhere in this blog!
Today was the day my wife and I had organised some time for her to finally come for a ride on the Road King. After annoying delays beyond our control she was finally geared up and we were ready to leave. She expressed a lack of opinion about where we should go, so
Today was the day, Oran Park... Advanced Riding Skills Course...me, my son and the Road King! The weather was relatively fine and the forecast was good, so we headed over to Oran Park from the overnight stay at Narellen. There were a bunch of bikes of all brands and sizes there when we arrived, with 25 participants booked in for the day. There
Oran Park is on tomorrow, hopefully it won't get rained out this time. Today, however, was the trip down. My son came along and we left around 3pm for the 200k trip to Narellen for the overnight stay. A quick fuel stop 10.31l @ $14.94. Great riding weather, we headed down the freeway and took the old Pacific Highway (of course)
After spending two months or more getting my wife ready to hop on the back of the Road King for the first time I arrived home this morning to a request of an immediate ride. Very surprisingly though, the request wasn't from my wife, it was from my 11 yo daughter. My daughter hadn't previously expressed any interest in going for a ride, in
I'd made a tentative booking for a ride with a school buddy ("old" is assumed) to go for a ride this morning weather permitting. The sky was black in the early a.m. but I was determined to head out, so I called and told him I was prepared to get wet and was going anyway. He thought that was a plan and we decided to meet at
Roy and I decided to head south today with a 9am start. A quick fuel topup for $7.66 (6.69litres) and I was ready to go. My son, of course, was ready too. Roy arrived on timeish and we decided to take the meandering route via the Swansea bends and along the coastline through the central coast, a quick jaunt up to the freeway and
After returning home from Metal Mayhem via Roy's Cafe my son was keen to head out, despite the heat, for an hour or so cruising around. We were the only ones home at the time, so away we went, with no plan about where we were going. First west out the link road and I intended heading south. Too many cars going that way so a snap
