Sunday 17th Jan

[TrevlynJ]

I'm going to head out for a ride Sunday, going to do Paluma, mainly because I haven't been up there for quite some time now, not since I've had the new R1. I reckon for those that are interested/inclined/could be bothered joining me, we meet at the BP at Kirwan, the one on Thuringowa Drive, just up from the tavern there. I'm thinking of meeting at 7:30ish, looking at being on the road by 8ish.

You know you want to.

[TrevlynJ]

Well, I turned up, waited the required time, and then headed off.

Alone.

Again.

Not that I'm bitter about it.

Much.

Had a good run up to Paluma. The road itself isn't too bad down low, very little crap on the surface. That changes the higher you get. Road surface had leaf litter, sticks and in one case a whole bloody branch over it. Not all over, just right in the middle of the apex to each corner. Still a lot of moisture on the road, made for some slippery moments. Very little traffic heading up, but it was a different story heading back down. Not only did I have to contend with a dodgy road surface, but there seemed to be an unusually large number of cars determined to force me off the road and down the mountain. Must be the exhaust. They're all jealous that my motorsexual sounds so...well...sexual.

I was going to say I was sorry I missed the ride TJ. But after reading what you wrote about the road conditions and the other vehicles that were about I am actually glad I didnt go. So it was a painful ride then, not one that was enjoyable?

[TrevlynJ]

Not at all. The ride was very enjoyable, it just had a few extra challenges. Yes, if I were you I would be sorry I missed it.

[NJS]

It was a ride. Of course you should be sorry. Even in monsoonal rain, riding is better than not.

[TrevlynJ]

Yes. Thanks Nath.

[Brett]

next time take the trailer...lol

[TrevlynJ]

Trailer? For what? And how am I supposed to fit a trailer to the back of the Rizzle?
