Ran down to Adelaide to catch up with an old mate we went up to Handorf ( an old German settlement) I was badly ripped off on the Buxom brunette waitresses I was expecting all we got was a skinny bloke with bad breath as head waiter and a surly older blonde. damnit!!!
I .....ed up on my mate who has one of the first XR1200s I pulled up next to him at a round about not noticing his right blinker drove straight into him dinged his heat shield and foot peg (wouldn't let me pay for em either)
Then the Birdwood museum then did the great ocean road but my mate hit a big cutout in the road on his XJR 13 hard enough to blow the cartridge in the forks and hurt his back so we headed home. from Melbourne instead of doing The Reefton / Black spur / Flowerdale /Yea ,Seymour
I did over 5000klms We did 1100 klicks on the first day to get us to Mildura, the seat was getting pretty hard on the last day on the trip home.
Adelaide and South Australia are so clean and Melbourne to an extent, getting back to Sydney / Newcastle was a bit discouraging seeing kids just gettting into there cars and putting their McDonalds rubbish outside the doors and driving off.

Stop over in Naracoorte SA got stuck into the local wines.
Who would a thought back in old Seymour in t early days we'd be sitting here after a fine meal drinking Browns of Padthaway “Myra” Cabernet Sauvignon (and the rest of the wine list)
Aye we was lucky to have Pinkys Pizza and Victoria Bitter ........

I .....ed up on my mate who has one of the first XR1200s I pulled up next to him at a round about not noticing his right blinker drove straight into him dinged his heat shield and foot peg (wouldn't let me pay for em either)
Then the Birdwood museum then did the great ocean road but my mate hit a big cutout in the road on his XJR 13 hard enough to blow the cartridge in the forks and hurt his back so we headed home. from Melbourne instead of doing The Reefton / Black spur / Flowerdale /Yea ,Seymour
I did over 5000klms We did 1100 klicks on the first day to get us to Mildura, the seat was getting pretty hard on the last day on the trip home.
Adelaide and South Australia are so clean and Melbourne to an extent, getting back to Sydney / Newcastle was a bit discouraging seeing kids just gettting into there cars and putting their McDonalds rubbish outside the doors and driving off.
