Silly me

  1. 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 :)

  2. Um, don't you go down the centre line between the rows of cages?

  3. even if one of those rows is heading towards me?

    That sounds like fun. Yes you're quite right I should of, especially
    along the twisty bits on the kangaroo valley.
