Was also lucky enuff to score a ride on the SFQ 😎 on the return trip…… Man does the thing Honk! Tis a real stump puller, that feels so planted on the deck. A Torque monster with an intoxicating sound to boot. Chappo to the Q Man on a well thought out build. 👌🏼
 
We never have been past Falls on our Snowy Runs, I did it once in a car on a Ski Trip, brilliant bit of bends with even more impressive Mountain Ash Trees. Slightly different from the NSW Snow Gums, usually like a tall bush. Victorian Mountain Ash trees, or Eucalyptus regnans, can grow to heights exceeding 100 meters (328 feet), making them the tallest flowering plant species globally and the second tallest tree species overall, after the coastal redwoods.

Heading east from Falls along the plateau the surface is akin to a race track…. Speccy!
Once on the descent down to Blue Duck tis a goat track…..🤣
 
We have done the out-of-Omeo bit heaps but never turned right to Falls. The Trout at The Blie Duck is special.
 
Can only concur with Hooksey, was a hoot of a trip with a real mix of Laverda owners and riding ability but we all made it through unscathed with only minor bike problems. One clutch cable an d an exhaust collector and the odd broken or missing bolt. Nothing major , so was a great trip.👍😊
