Last night I came back from Tathra. Thought it would be a nice ride up through Kangaroo valley ...... stupid mistake! From the south side of Nowra to Fitzroy Falls it was bumper to bumper traffic. About then I remembered something about the end of a long weekend. I thought it was easing up a little when I got into 4th gear but I rounded another corner and it was back down to 2nd (and a lot of time spent in 1st). About the last hairpin before Fitzroy my bike decided that it had enough and I spent half an hour on the side of the road. The engine wasn't over heated but a problem that I thought was fix apparently wasn't. I think the coils are on the way out and once they got too hot they stopped working (well one of them anyways) Apart from that my little trip was heaps of fun. Even the clouds I was chasing up the coast stayed a reasonable distance in front. They did seem to stop at Richmond but I only got a little damp :-) __ Cheers The Happy Drunk K100RT
