LOL! It was a bit like that in Gloucester! Some of the locals at this particular pub's 'table of knowledge' were very much banjo players :-p
In other news, Day 2 has been run and won.
I thought yesterday's run out through wollombi and singleton to gloucester with dad would be hard to top, but today was officially the best day motorcycling ever.
The Mach 1 is such a little do'er. Poor thing struggled on some of the climbs with the loooong gearing and all of the extra luggage, but otherwise she was absolutely faultless for another 400kms today. I had a great run through Thunderbolt's, clear most of the way, and most of the cars let me through pretty quickly. It was probably a bit too bumpy in sections for my front rack though so I had to take it easy in places.
Waterfall Way was incredible! I had a clear run the whole way from Armidale to Dorigo with not a single car in front. I had to stop for a rest (sore clutch pulling hand and ass, but a couple of nurofen plus, and a couple of swigs on the hip flask and I was good to go!
Parked up now at the freshly renovated Hoey Moey in Coffs Harbour for beers, feedbag, (cover) bands and naps.
Tomorrow is a 'rest day'. Just 200kms in total, back to dorigo (via the banana plantations and nana glen, then up to grafton.
