Alpine rally run and done for 2023. Top weather, attendance well down on previous but a good slice of our normal group from all over the place were there and had a good catch-up. Too much excellent food, just the right amount of beverages, awesome fireworks display and the crispiest most awesome morning once the sun made it over the hills opposite. The RGA fired on the first cold-start attempt but I didn't quite 'catch it'. It then made some alarming sprag-clutch noises but fired soon enough. Other than that and one lost fairing screw it behaved itself nicely. Some challenges on the way home after a bit of impromptu offroading by one of the group at Kiandra (not a Laverda). But all's well that ends well, no injuries other than some bruises and dented pride, the rest can be fixed. The kangaroo sacrificed to the rescue car gods later on did not fare so well. RIP. ✝️ Home at almost 11pm after a long day!

That Guinness keep you warm Batto?
 
One day my Atlas might go there, one day. BTW it was -11c at Walcha a week back on the Brass Money and apparently, some Laverdas didn't want to play in the morning. My 3c was sitting right in the open at the end of the parking lot and fired right up. It had a fine layer of frosty Rind on the seat. Happy me. For the first time ever in my life, I turned the Electric Blanket on that night. How did you go camping in that Frost Steve? That does look painful.

Don't need a farken adv bike to go 50m of gravel track directly off the bitumen snowy mountains highway Vincenzo! :D I have taken the RGA, Bimota, two CBX's, Corsa and Jota to that site. The sadly-departed Brindabella site was a bit more challenging, I only took the RGA and Jota to that one.

Re camping, it is like the saying no such thing as bad weather, only wrong clothes. It was only minus six, so cold but not crazy. I had an Exped down insulated sleeping mat (highly recommended!), over that went the sheepskin I use over the seat & paintwork for the throwovers (keeps you "company" as well! :ROFLMAO:), and then a decent but nothing special "minus 10 comfort" rated sleeping bag from anaconda. I slept straight through, comfy and warm as toast. The Guinness and Stones beforehand possibly helped somewhat...

Next year is at the same easy Yarrangobilly homestead site, come down and stage from here it's a great weekend. Goes for anyone...
