A Winter's Ride in July....

[ungeheuer]

Australia isn't just urban sprawl surrounded by uninhabited red dust.  I thought I'd show you around my neighbourhood, blessed as it is with some fine motorcycling roads.  I took these pics on today's 350km mid-winter ride in the state of Victoria, south-eastern Australia - where I'm fortunate enough to reside.

Early morning, its cold.



The only traffic... is me 

...but I do have to share the road with the occasional local...

Mid-day and it's warmer now...

...so down from the hills to the coast



And, as the afternoon sun begins to wane, time to head homeward once again...



...but not before a quick beer and a bite to eat in the pub  ...

Cheers!

Thanks for sharing, great pics!   replace the kangaroo with a deer on the road sign, and it could be Central/Northern California!

Hey.... thanks for all your positive feedback guys 

I'm loving that 696 ungeheuer. When do the rearsets arrive? 

Hoping to see my rear-sets by Friday..... but got....  ... commitments over the weekend, so not likely to get a chance to play with 'em til next week

Cool.  Reminds me of central California.

That's beautiful country - I didn't know anywhere in Oz looked like that.

Aren't there 10 deadly snakes and several nasty spiders and big salties waiting to bike you everywhere though.  That's the impression some of those shows on TV paint it.

Beautiful place! We should all come down to visit. When's good for you?

Great pics!!- if you think that that is a cold morning, try Canadian winters (-20 C and 1 metre of snow)

My Ozzy cousins from Melbourne still can't believe how we have to remove ice and snow from the car and driveway in the morning.

Very cool to see, thanks for sharing!  One day I hope to make it to that side of the world.
