Old Pacific Highway Run

[Six95]

OOPs, I missed this thread and ended doing a putty loop today with some work friends. Saw stacks monsters though. I do believe I saw Craig and possibly his wifey on the 696 just past wollombi pub heading to Putty? (I was coming back, did a clockwise loop)
I might of nodded at Big T as well - It was a silver S4R on the road to Wollombi as well.

Sorry for the no show 

Mate's B'day so was out in City  ..

I promised myself to get home early so I could join the run.. and i think Big T got a text from me at like.. 4:30am? Didn't think there was much chance of me getting up in time. Ah well.. always next time..

Was a good day. It was good to meet you bmroxm5. Mental note: chasing BigT thru the closed section of Old Pac, I though his Brake lights were broken. Then I realised he just doesn't actually use 'em  

Six95 I actually spotted you twice today, once going up Galston Gorge at about 7:45 and then again at Wollombi  (both times I was going the other way).

haha, yeh good meeting you too craigo. Trev sets a cracking pace doesn't he.. but when you're riding behind him (as most of us do) you can see he has pretty good body language on the bike

[Stephuan]

Affirmative; that was us @ Wollombi after getting some sustenance. OMG hot much?

And yes, MCAs Auburn is open on Sundays! I had no idea of this - I must have been under a rock...

WOW!
On the way out of Galston, I remember now -  seeing the 696 and thinking- that is the first one I've seen on the road, I didnt recall noticing the black beast though, you must of been going too fast!

hmm i'm tempted to go to mcas tomorrow as well and pick up some new riding boots..

oath it was hot! riding through traffic into the city after the oph run.. then on parramatta road around 2pm this arvo.

weather update for tomorrow:
Sunday Shower or two. Mostly cloudy. Light to moderate southwest winds tending south to southeast and freshening.

Was there a couple of weeks back looking at boots but they seem to have not much in stock.
It's a huge store but I think they still haven't fully stocked it as yet.
If you are heading out that way, may I suggest a visit to Bike Biz on the start of the GW Hwy and Church St.
They seem to have far better stock and educated people who know what they are talking about.

thanks for the heads up matty... mcas is only 10mins or so from my place (and its on the way to bikebiz) so i might go to mcas first.. then if i can't find anything head on up to bikebiz.

Was actually trying out something Dock and I were talking about a few weeks back. At the Superbike School they start you off riding the track without using your brakes (teaching you to ride smoothly). So was putting in practice as I am trying to smooth out my riding in the corners. Plus the Duke has great engine braking which helps heaps.

It actually works.....

And Stu highly recommend the Stay Upright Course. I did it with a few other Monsters and learnt heaps (as in riding smoother not necessarily faster).  [moto]

Hey Stu it is all to do with my virgin seat..... Made by virgins with their delicate hands and feels like 24 soft virgin hands gently moving you round on the seat as you ride..... Ask me sometime when you have an hour or too and I'll tell you the story..... 

I have overloaded all the old DMF members with my virgin seat stories so......
