First ride on the new toy

Hey is that a Ute? Those are cool! I wish they sold them in the US. Would make a bitchin "El Camino." Oh yeah, enjoy the new bike.

I like the garage shot with the AC/DC posters and the "Give Way" sign. Isn't that thing supposed to say Yeild????? Thanks for the pics looks like fun was had !

How's the serenity?

Love the hills around there!

What did your mates think of your new toy or did you not want to part with it?

cheers Todd

Love those 650s and the Vic high country. Congrats.

The ute is sold in SWB form in the US, or was, as Pontiac GTO. Supposedly plans for El Camino version are in place.

First ride

G,day Nutt

Ther truly is " No replacement for displacement"
I mostly ride around the Lake Eildon area as a mate has a house there.
The Eildon to Woods Point ride is good fun @ 100k each way to the smallest servo i have ever seen.
I also ride in the Otways near Lorne.Some of the best riding in the state.
Noojee is good. They hold one of the must do rides in November. Usually around 1000- 1100 rider turn up for that one.Absolute bog hole in the wet.
Anglsea behind the power station is great if you are looking for some sandy tracks.
The Nolan rally is on the 28th May in the Rubicon valley. Heaps of fun with only 400 or so people.
The Great Divide Ride in July or August is mad. With a hill first up that goes for no less than 10 mins!!!
Tullarook is good value and only 45 min from Melbourne.Plenty of hills there.
The Talangi/Murrindindi area is more slippery than snot on a door knob.
My last ride there i snapped it open in 3rd or 4th at around 70k and it stepped out so far i strained a groin muscle throwing my leg out to catch it!
I hope the attached photo's will help.

Stay upright !

cheers Todd

RE: First ride

Hey Nutt,
The fuel at Woodspoint servo is OK. You cant miss it, its on the main road across from the general store. They have PULP even though the bowser says super!
Get your hands on a sub tank. It holds about 3ltrs.Will let you do at least another 30ks.
Good money earner when your mates run out and you charge them bush tax of 6pack per ltr!
Best thing to do is get out there and ride. Watch out for coppers/rangers.
Make sure you have at least rec reg and a liscence and stick to the tracks.
The bushfires last year made a mess of things and we dont need to give them an excuse to close tracks.
Speak to Richie or Andrew at Valley Force in Lillydale 9735-9433 they might have a second hand tank.
Might see you out there on the tracks!

cheers Todd
