Scrounger’s new ride

Scrounger and Nige travelled to the far flung centre of Edgeworth (using my amazing sense of direction) to retrieve Scounger’s new ride. Poor thing has no idea how many he has ridden before 🙂

The very first photo of Scrounger on his new ride.

I’m thinking that red helmet is way too bright for the “old man” grey colour of the machine… Briz.

The Perfect Club :-)

Faster and faster until the thrill of speed overcomes the fear of death.

Being a little biased towards Honda Blackbirds, I thought that I would post this photo of the perfect ‘Birds at Rest’.

A flock of resting Birds.

The continuing adventures of NIGE

Trip: 1340 kms round trip from my place. A fair ride in 3 days.

The Boyz lined up

The start – the boys lined up outside “Hungry Jacks” Tuggerah at about 9.15am.

The NIGE Gang

The gang at Tuggerah Hungry Jacks before rolling out.

A good joke

Another healthy start to a day. Boy, it was cold, does it look it?
State of rest

‘The Baron’ thinking, ‘What are we doing here?’ but having a ball.
Soup Bowl

Nige “I’d be thinking this coffee is a bowl of soup!”
Burning Ring of Fire

Nige “I’d be thinking sumthink burning – hmmm, maybe better check me flash new carry bags?”
Droopy Spider

Droopy “hmmm…if I stand here looking like a real ‘biker’ they might just start calling me Spider?”
The Streaker

Baron wondering just where did he put those pants?
R65 Legend

The ‘Scrounger Mobile’
Dead Beemer

Brizzer’s Beemer decides it has gone on for long enough.
Structural Integrity

‘All in all, it’s just another brick in the wall’
Coonamble Pub

Parked for the night in downtown Coonamble, the end of the road for Briz and his Beemer.
Stooges

Almost journey’s end, Macas at Cessnock and some pretty sore body parts.

Narrabi, Coonamble and the BMW rides home on a truck.

Photos of the early part of the ride.

The Tourist Hotel Narrabri. Our digs for night one.

The boys still in riding gear on the veranda.

BMW luggage is great. It bites!

Nige, Scrounger and Brizzer wondering who has the coolest head wear.

A good value $3 breakfast at Subway before hitting the frog and toad.

Signage

A very professional looking sign with some statistics of the bore.

Gee Nige you should ask permission before taking pics of old men in the shower we don’t even know!

One of the main reasons for the journey was to enjoy a soak in the Burren Junction hot bore baths.

Lots of grey nomads enjoy the health benefits of the hot baths and take advantage of the free camping.

Scrounger preferred dry relaxing.

The Beasts of Burden

The bikes parked outside the bore.

The boys ready to head on.

The world out here is flat.

Baron demonstrates the vast flatness of the scenery.
