I took my 3c, I still need a nice short easy ride on the Atlas before I go hog wild. Next Sunday's ride to Eastern Creek Race Track will sort that to a T. I passed the spot where my wet weather gear lives in the shed but the TV news said it would be a lovely day, and it was in between drizzle and downpours. You would think I would be old enough to know better. I managed to do some rear shock fiddling on those narrow goat tracks they call roads and made some progress. So the motley crew consisted of my 3c a 120 Jota an RGS an SF2 a Suzuki 650 DR and an Enfield twin. We have done this loop a lot so no dramas getting there, but some obstacles encounter heading home. By then I was a bit wet and my life-saving heated grips were not heating so much so I attempted to bail, not realising I was leading half the group astray. Somehow we ended up getting fuel 50mitre from where the others were also getting fuel just up the road. My bad as usual. So nice meal, variable weather, some tight rough speedy lanes and another 400ish ks done and dusted. And I didn't mention how wet 15kph downhill off camber oily bends have a certain effect on L platers but we won't go there, all good in the end.
 
I think we all underestimated the weather, it was wet and cold! Great to meet up with Andy on his new sfc1000. Yes, we won't mention the L plate, his mother might be listening....

I just remembered there was a Happy Snapper on Mac Pass taking pics in the rain. I will have a scout for them next week.
 
He got everyone but me, I was mucking up a gear change as I passed him. I hadn't changed the gear lever height when I adjusted its internal free play but somehow it was way high requiring me to lift my foot for up changes. There was some binding in the rear seats as well. Time for grease, I am tempted to add some nipples for this. Lots and lots of missed gears. I couldn't adjust it roadside as it has a stripped thread fixed with a nut and bolt that I don't carry a spanner for.
