Overnight Ride

Don't know if this route appeals to anyone, but I was just playing with google maps and thought where woudl be something different for an overnight ride:
Route Map

Looks good but a bit too far for me to come.

You'd be welcome Saphena - you just need to swim a bit before the ride :-)

ruscook,

I've just relocated to Sydney, Kellyville ridge from WA and don't know anyone here to ride with. I've got the 08 SpeedTriple and touched the Bells Line of Road last Sunday but had to turn back.

I'll be up for it.

Welcome md-dlb. The S3 is a lovely piece of kit. See the other ONight thread, we're planning an Oxley run on 31 Oct (Back by tea time on Sat ) you'd be more than welcome.

hello there Rob, how's things?

I've been doing rides with Russ all this time but being Triumph free at present I haven't been on the site much.

last time we spoke it was as I was was considering buying a Magna and you were selling one! So that was early 2006??

I ride a BMW R1200ST and a VTR1000, though not at the same time. My eldest son Tom rides his VTR1000 and comes along with us these days.
Always on the lookout for a good 2002 Speed triple as long as it's nuclear red. That'll complete the stable.

Do you still ride the RS (and do you need an as new original muffler)

I think it was early 06, when I sold the Magna. I bought a new Speed triple in Dec 06 and sold the Sprint to a bloke in Tassie. Then I bought a 675, then another 05 Speed Triple, then a Thunderbird. I still have them all!

I`m going to have to come on one of Russ`s rides one day!
