Default Week-End Tamworth Ride

My bike club went for its yearly Tamworth fundraiser ride, (650 klm & 150 bikes) overnighter.
No problems at all, except for loosing my winter gloves the 1st day, so yeah, naturally temps dropped way down overnight because of big cold front that moved in.
Had a great night at the club dinner, got pi**ed, ate steaks, there was even a bar fight (not our group) but thats wot happens when 3-4 bikes clubs decide to go to the same pub on a Saturday night, lots of manly men standing around (some barely) "Bikes....Good", "Yeah..bikes..good"
The CBR was probably one of the oldest bikes there, cept maybe for an older BMW K100 & maybe a Harley? (who knows with them, they all look the bloody same). Seemed a lot had decided to go with Beemers since last year, cept for one guy on a Triumph Trident (a 2300cc monster)
Bike ran like a swiss watch, just confirmed to me that Honda's make the best bikes, had no trouble at all keeping up with the more modern gear.

Putting this pic up, give you an idea of Aussie roads. This is part of the New England Highway, a major road!. Actually its a great fast riding road, lots of great bends & plenty of places to stop. Most of the time its a 100kph speed limit (hah)

No, still got the same one, I haven't seen to many of the F3's around, (here anyway). The ones that you find for sale are either high kay examples or over valued.

If I was to put up pics of myself, you would only think that someone had bypassed the dartboard idea & went straight for the pick handle.
