Hey all you all you South Aussie FZ6 riders, who's interested in getting together for a ride?

[Wolfman]

Yes some of us can get a little excited by an open road, which is seemingly ours to our own...that's why we ride it...big change from being such good boys everywhere else, ie: the speed camera infested roads of the Adelaide CBD...but hey you gotta let your hair down every now & then..otherwise i reckon life bec omes too boring, it does help, when there is someone up front who is prepared to ride shotgun, re any upcoming camera's etc.

The ride back to Adelaide from Victor was more in tune with a normal ride for me, sitting on the speed limit, with the occasional blat to get clear of traffic.

Glad you enjoyed. as i said before, am sure it wont be long, before that group gets together for another Sunday ride...will let you know.

But i reckon, now that Dave, yourself, and me are aquainted we should organise an FZ6 only ride soon too...at a pace that will keep our licenses in our pockets.

300km's in one day, when your not used to it, does take the crap out of you though, i was a very tired boy last night...as like Dave, i crashed it on the couch watching the Superbikes!

I knew I should have check this board more often.
That sounded like a hell of a lot of fun.

[stumbles06]

Hey Oz, we'll be doing it again, will add you to my friends list and let you know next time.
And yeah, it was a hell of a lot of fun, although, being a novice group rider, I was quite a bit slower than the rest. Mainly use my bike for commuting to work and back, and I need my license because I work nights, and there ain't any busses at that time...lol

[Ozfazer6]

Yeah Stumbles I know what you mean. I ride everyday to work and need my ticket too, or my family starve !
I always ride within my limits and if everyone else is quicker the so be it .

[aussiejules]

Hey guys im in the same boat i drive for my job, but it was so damn hard not to twist that throttle when eveyone else is. We should organise just us like wolf said and do another one at our pace maybe around the 150km/h rather than 200, ha ha.

Too right mate,there is no way I will be doing 200 kph on the roads around here !

Lol...that's what i thought till i got behind a guy who wanted to ride shotgun....and the road was open, deserted, and with a degree of run-off on each side.

Seriously though it is a bit silly, but we got away with it, so no harm done. thankfully.

But for the next ride (FZ6 only), i was thinking a pleasurable cruise up through the hills - maybe start with breakfast at my house at Blackwood, then go through Upper sturt to the Freeway, across the Freeway, through piccadilly, to lobethal, to birdwood for a coffee, then back down to the city, via tea tree gully. I think this brings at least Auusiejules, and Stumbles to an end that is closer to where they live.

This is a nice route with lots of slower corners, and beautiful scenery, and if we feel the desire, we could also stop and check out the Birdwood Motor Museum whilst we were there.

Sounds good to me ,your not far from me then, I am at Aberfoyle Park.
Just hope we can all get a day that we are free, dont know about you guys but I have a wife and kids to work around ,lol

[stumbles06]

Yeah, wife and a daughter here too... And I work night shift, so Sunday arvo I normally have a nap from 1:00 - 5:00pm before work Sunday night.

Trip sound good though Wolfman. My wife will want us to stop at Melba's to get some lollies for her and the littl'un... (Traffic lights.. no less... lol)
I know it's still a month away, but we have a down-day on the 13th July, so Sunday the 12th would suit me... but... The weather could be crappy by then???

[Wolfman]

the long range forescast has seemed to be reasonably accurate lately, so next time it says that Sunday is going to be fine and sunny, i will be harrasing all those who frequent this forum about a ride....but the 13th sounds ok, but i could be indisposed, my 3rd child is due on the 15th!

I also have to DJ on the Saturday night till 3am, then back up for a Sunday night gig that weekend!

Ozfazer 6 will send you a friend requset also.

By the way, Stumbles, that RJays Jacket i told you i was buying, i now have, and it is as good as the leather pants, great fit, soft leather....and it zips to the pants with comfort!
