We call it sunburn here in OZ
I try to take one day at a time, however sometimes several days catch up with me at once.

Amazing you blokes trips, places names, mountains with height, time for piccys, time for food,amount of fuel used, daily temp. I just have a ride, occasional piccy.

I had a day and a half to get out of dodge (Sydney) over Easter and had a blast on some roads I haven't been out on for too long.

Despite the ever present 'double demerits' threat over the long weekend had a blast and the bike was running like a dream.

Looks like an interesting ride
 😳
I've been on most of those roads by car a long time ago and always wondered what they'd be like to ride. Now we know.
Your bike is in absolutely cherry condition mate. Big bike and big rider 👍👍

We rode to Toowoomba today to Cafe Valletta (one of my favourites) I highly recommend it. Under cool but cloudless skies we departed Ampol Goodna and headed straight there at 8am as I'd booked a table for 9:30. It pays to book on the weekends and next week is Mother's Day, they're fully booked Saturday and Sunday and only doing high teas $69/person, 3 sittings for both days.
We came home via MaMa creek and Gatton (Heavy Horse Festival ie Clydesdales) spectacular beasts.
Had a drink at The Lockyer Hotel in Forest Hill. Fully renovated and more like an upmarket pub in Brisbane 🤫 two drinks $22 in Brisbane probably $35 so a fair bit cheaper.
Then Bobbie and I called in to see my Mum at MtGravatt for a cuppa and watch Rabbitohs get walloped by Newcastle Knights 🥳🥳🥳
We then rode home at dusk in the midst of a massive downpour ☔️☔️☔️🏍�🏍�🏍�😳😳😳 arriving looking like wet shags 😂😂

All in all a good day with mates, lots of banter, great food and another journey full of adventure.

Took the GT for a run up to Mokihinui, we were away for 4 days doing a roady in the Merc, so it's been sat for about a week, good to be out again in some fine weather.

Nice day today. Weve been rained on for months. Did a backroads run around this arvo.Wet has carved up the roads, bumpy, pot holes, corrugations. Trees down, just mud run off so must stay on tar.These little roads are usually a bit demanding in good times, today a full mental/physical workout. Totally enjoyed.

Just a quick 160k / 100 mile local loop on the Gen-3, had to grab the Ute and head off to do some jobs.

It's still 1000k's off a main service and the tyres are sort of OK, rear has a plug, front is half worn, but I may just book it in. Get a service done early and a pair of S23's in a taller 55 rear.

I have been looking at pipes, cams, stacks and a tune, a proven derestrict package, but I need some retaining walls and concreting done, so I might wait and see how salty that bill is first !

Today we rode to Sandstone Point for lunch with two of my longest known friends we met in 1979.
The trip was via Clear Mountain, Mt. Mee and Wamuran. Roughly 290kms door to door.
The ride home was in dusk light so D'Aguilar, Mt. Mee Dayboro and the city.

Through Crows Nest, Cooyar, Maidenwell, near miss with a wild dog / dingo so had to stop at The Bunya Mountains for a vanilla slice to help with the trauma... 😁.  Didn't have enough fuel to make it back to Crows Nest, so on to Kingaroy. Several laps of the town trying to find a blue tree (I didn't) Nanango, Yarraman, Blackbutt, another near miss (with a Wallaby this time) Crows Nest again and head home.
Nice warm day considering it's Winter next week.
Only 286K / 177 miles, but still fun.

The Maidenwell to Bunya Mt as well as the Blackbutt to Crows Nest roads are both now bitumen all the way, both previously had gravel sections. Both have some really good fun sections, but both have some single lane shared bitumen with dirt shoulders in places.

That's a big skip to dump a B-King in.

It's one of those rural Aussie jokes...it's a normal skip with this in it...

There's always room in the world for a bit more tolerance and kindness.

Sarah's unplugged at Maleny by all the back roads today including Bellthorpe range. It's a road that tests all your skills.
I had the very big breakfast and won't be eating for the foreseeable future 🙀🙀.
