Club Laverda NSW brekky run South, 13/2/22

So, coolish heading out at 20 past 6am. Pushing my bike out of the shed and across the shin-high Buffilow grass with sodden soil underneath just about bust my poofle valve, so much rain lately Zero traffic, lovely. I arrived way way early, as usual, then Tom turned up, the 2 farthest away arrive first and 2nd. It looked very threatening weather and cloud wise, and we had a few tiny sprinkles of well you couldn't say rain. Quite cold at Roberson up in the Southern Highlands, I even turned on the heated grips for a while. The mid-morning sun finally arrived and it warmed up nicely to the predicted 26c. How's this for a list of top local bike roads, the back way to Stanwell Tops, Mt Osley twice, Kangaroo Valley twice and Macquarie Pass twice and home via The Princess Hwy which wasn't too bad for traffic for a change. I noticed 2 and possibly 3 mobile speed camera cars with none of the recently promised returning off warning signs to be seen. Hope we lucked out with that SHIT. The food was great, I eat sparingly to my shame. The Poached eggs and sausage were top notch. All in all a great days ride, Gold Medal to the stunning America Eagle out for its first club ride, it's a stunning bike. Shame Chrises new bike didn't give it some competition.
 
It took some digging but I found the happy snapper on Mac Pass and everybody got their pic taken, including the Mini boys who turned up at the cafe. Some nice pics in this bunch.

BTW I mentioned during breaky I didnt like where that photographer was set up, she was standing slightly up a side street on the right side of the road just before the apex of a tight 35kph lefthander, I noticed her just as I tipped in, she was right in my sightline as I passed her really easy to get distracted and run wide onto the other side of this narrow road. Good spot for pics, bad for safety. It's the same effect as suddenly seeing an approaching car in tight roads appearing around a bend, you tend to go where you look, a habit I broke years ago riding these roads. I constantly look away and move away lots don't.

Geez you guys in NSW have it good. What a collection of bikes out for a Sunday run. Here in Bris we have Mt Glorious and on a Sunday you can count on any number of police bikes also being in the line up. Guess thats where the 750's would be good ... no chance of speeding ;)
 
There was a time when I was wondering where all the 750s were in Sydney, not so much these days. It's nice to not be tear arseing around at triple pace all the time, if you get my drift. As I duck for cover.
