Mild Hogs

Call for a ride to Grey Gum Cafe resulted in 2 Mild Hogs and no Nige’s able to make the day.

The weather was perfect as was the rest of the ride.

We managed to clear everyone else out, there were other people here before … honest.

Zippy

Lucky, Zippy and Nige headed out to Bulga via Broke and Wallaby Scrub Road.

Got a bit damp over a coffee at Jerries on the way home but still a great ride.

Bylong

Five lucky Niges set out on a beautiful day for the hamlet of Bylong. Some things were fantastic, some things …. not quite so good.

Sideways looking very dangerous whilst the two in the background … well …

It was generally decided that Sideways had got the full value out of this tyre. It had looked like this for most of the way to Bylong and had spun at a reasonably quick rate to boot.

He decided to head home by the most direct route and to take it easy (this was Sideways remember, take it easy …yeh, right)

Lucky attempting to breed with the Ninja, we all know that he just wants one.

Were these happy faces an omen for what was soon to happen?

At the end of every scrape in the road there is always a story.

A sad sight down at the bottom of a very steep embankment wedged against a tree and the fence.

We had toΒ  drag it up the bank with the winch.

Up the top and I couldn’t hold it up any longer and down it went again.

Killswitch overshot the slightly off-camber corner and the CBF1000 turned into a off-roader.

Amazingly, John came out of it a bit battered and bruised after belting into a tree but still intact.

Riding with good quality safety gear is just a no-brainer.

Killswitch will live to ride again πŸ™‚

Wonder how the bike will fare?

Pothole Peril

Mohawk and Nige were riding their mighty KLunkeRs the other day when both bikes hit an enormous pothole in Gindurra Road in the shadows under the F3 overpass.

Even though it hit hard enough to rattle our ribs we didn’t stop to check the bikes out until we arrived at Pie in the Sky, after all, they are mighty KLunkeRs πŸ™‚

Amazingly, both bikes had suffered exactly the same damage to the front rim.

When we had finished lunch and coffee (someones gotta do it) we headed back to check out the pothole and to take a few photos.

Miraculously, in the time we had been away, the pothole had been repaired ……

The potholes have some road in them.

It was a biggun’

Gosford Council has been contacted and we are waiting for an official response.
