NOVEMBER 2011 RIDE TO JAMIESON

On the 19 th of November at 10am we headed off to Jameson. Six riders had turned up for what turned out to be a very good ride with a bit a everything thrown in. Our first stop was the Thoona Hotel from there it was over the Warby Rangers, funny thing happened on the ride over the Rangers, can't say too much but.... there is a Ducati rider out there some where with a slightly bruised ego after being passed " in the bends if you don't mind" by two older guys on two older harleys. lol. We went thru Wangaratta, Whitfield and stopped at Tolmie for lunch, we had rain from that point on until we arrived at Jameson. Hotel was very good, the night was enjoyable, breakfast was good, but the ride home, that was terrific. Having never been on the road from Jameson to Eildon since it has been sealed I was very keen to try it to see what it is like, apart from having a lot of tree debris on it from recent rain on wind the road has heaps of appeal and I will definitely be using it in the future. And then we come to the bit about "LUCKY" Dave, you see we had to leave poor ol" Dave behind.. again.. seems his bike just couldn't cut it and shat out a rear wheel bearing but wouldn't you know it , it was discovered right in front of the Molesworth Hotel, never seen a guy so happy to be left behind before.. go figure. His son kindly came with trailer and picked him up, told us later that he couldn't shut the Old Man up on the way home. The rest of us finished the ride safe. In all it was a very good ride. What did you think of the ride? Bird
