OK the North East corner mmm There is nice places to stay a Bridport which is a beach stay but only 45 minutes maybe from Launceston you might be better going for a couple of day rides out that way but base in yourselves in Launceston? Or head out that way and take a turn and head down East Coast and stay at St Helens or Bicheno (bazz's country) maybe? Let me know. I will PM my mobile number if you want to get in touch while in Launceston, we can go and have a steak and a drink maybe?

Those photo's are great!
like the grey trellis on the bikes you two! Title: Re: Tassie 'ere we come Post by: monstermick58 on March 12, 2009, 10:55:04 PM Yep Mt Roland was fun, gave the bike a bit of stick, had to remind myself about the precious cargo I had on the back, when we hit Melbourne I made a rash decission and decided to make the run home in one go, well that would have to be the first time I have ever done some distance and NOT get any sore shoulders or neck, the wife on the other hand has a sore arse (still) and told me that we are not EVER to do those sort of miles in one go.
Got to love ducati's for what they are, just lots of fun. On a downer, my memory card will only show about 30% of all the photos I took, I got to see all of them once but when I went to town to try and print thats when they would'nt come up, got home and its doing the same thing. :'( ???

Good to hear the ride went well Mmick, not so good news about the photos. There could be help though...sometimes you can recover photos from crapped out cards....try googling or check this site for a free trial thingo(no idea if it works or not, but it could be worth a try) http://www.cardrecovery.com/ (http://www.cardrecovery.com/)Mmick Title: Re: Tassie 'ere we come Post by: EGAS1 on March 12, 2009, 11:25:35 PM when we hit Melbourne I made a rash decission and decided to make the run home in one go, well that would have to be the first time I have ever done some distance and NOT get any sore shoulders or neck, the wife on the other hand has a sore arse (still) and told me that we are not EVER to do those sort of miles in one go.
