Unlucky that you just happened to catch the mystery pillion with her hand in front of her face....Doh! Ah, well. Maybe next time...lol. (What was Tim the tool man's next door neighbours name...Wilson?)

Gee, how did you get that aerial shot? must have hit one HELL OF A BUMP in the roadWell Kiddies i am home! Just in time to avoid riding through the swelteringly hot country area's of SA in the stinking hot heat of the day! Am glad i left Loxton at 6am this morning..just as the sun was raising it's angry face! By the time i got to Elizabeth this morning, it was already starting to get a little "kinky" inside my leathers!
Anyway, had a great little trip, short, but sweet, and very chilled out (even if it was freaking hot up at Loxton). Ended up adding about 670 km's to the tacho, and apart from the Wildlife assault in the early hours of the morning, on the way up there, it was incident free...till i got back to the city, and was riding home from the Regency Inspection (details in another thread), and some idiot on South Road pulled out across 3 lanes, right in front of me, while i was travelling at 70km/h in a 70 zone.
Had to pull on the anchors hardcore, whilst also trying to ride around him...Fortuneatly i missed him...but i did give him the spray from hell, and may have "accidentally" knocked his mirror...
I am starting to like riding in the Country more and more! City Roads are a lottery...with your life and limbs!
Anyway, as usual i am drifting off topic...but i just had to share that one!
Ok, yesterday, as i have said previously, we did not end up doing the Gramps...not enough time really, and a tad hot to be riding all that way in full leathers!
So instead, i put on the Kevlar Jeans, and my jacket, and me and the mystery pillion, went for a cruise from Loxton to Berri, Renmark, Barmera...ended up stopping at Lake Bonnie in Barmera for a quick pint of Ale at the local footy club, which overlooks lake bonny....top spot, great "beach", nice clean water, lots of watersports enthusiasts out there...tinnies, dragging "biscuits", jet ski's, etc...
Got some decnt photo's, and some vid, once again, thanks to the Mystery Pillion for riding shotgun with the camera....photo's are getting better and better! :cheer:
Then it was back to Loxton for a decent feed at the Loxton Club...Fillet Mignon, about 450grams in size for $21, and it was sensational...:rockon::cheer:
Drank a bottle of red, more beer, & some bourbon back at Nurse central, whilst playing Wii very badly!....before retiring for the evening at about midnight...great night had by all.
This morning i was up and on the bike bright & early, and left Loxton right on 6am..rolled up at Mc Donalds at Enfield for brekky at 8.15am after a straight run through with only a 2 minute stop to top up on juice!
Anyway, here's a few pics from the trip, all from Yesterday, when we went cruising around the Riverland District.

AAARRRRGGGGHHHH! MY EYES! That last pic...make it go away......straight roads:spank::spank::spank::spank::spank:
Some nice pics mate. Got to love that smoke haze at sunset too. I nearly stopped my bike for a photo last night as the sunset was glorious....but I didn't....lol.:thumbup:
Yes i did think of you, when i was driving through the straights of "nothingness"!!!!
:rockon:
Got enough of that straight line garbage coming up myself. From Talem Bend to Stawell:spank::spank::spank:.
Should vastly improve once I'm there though...lol.:cheer:

Was going to mention that in my reply to your Grampians thread...but just giggled to myself instead...dont worry, got about 500km's of straight crap to deal with myself next week, on my way, with Matty to the Great Ocean Road....ring in sick for next week and join us!!!!!
:rockon:
LOL...I wish. I'm sorta off sick this week but using A/L to get a problem sorted.
This will be a cheap trip too...lol. I'm banking on less than $300 food, fuel and accom. Of course that will limit the amount of riding I do at my destination but there's always the fishing:thumbup:.
I think your biggest expense will be petrol....you know the drill there, we get similar mileage reading...As for Food.....who needs that...liquid diet! :spank:
