A nice ride today,with her indoors on the pillion and 9 year old granddaughter in the chair the bikes handling was a little different . Nothing like a ride over Mt Glorious to sort out ya lefts from ya rights + lessons on what to do for the swingers.  Coffee at the top,the usual UDF factor and a unexpected meet up with fellow new member Camo ( Red October ) on his solo bike made the day even more enjoyable. I'm slowly getting the hang of outfit piloting again,its been a while.A few more rides like today will certainly help get it all together. A Mt G ride on the WeeStrom is a must for next week.

Gday guys it's a bit of a challenge to get along quickly over the mountain on a Ural, going down the hill obviously ☺ but definitely good practice for corners , i have had funny looks from car drivers whilst they're being overtaken by a "vintage " bike mainly on the freeway lol but sometimes the planets align and you can get around one at an overtaking area on the road. I get up to Glorius some tuesday mornings so maybe see you there .

As Lee knows I don't even try to go fast... it's just not what the Ural is about for me. I do have an interesting ride coming up next month though, if the planets align.

Ross, and everyone, the most important thing is that you are out there doing it and enjoying. I'm getting slower economic and slower these days. the last trip I did was mostly sub 90 kph.

And I did it again today on the WeeStrom-----jeeeeez it was fun. On roads like Mt.Glorious I guess I'm a solo rider at heart . Dunno about the bloke that scratched up his nice new GSX.Just doing a U turn and went A over H  |

Most of us are just Bike riders at heart. I love a good ride through the twisties on the solo, but when I see someone have a simple spill doing a U turn, I think how much fun a U turn is on the Ural.......especially on the dirt.
