              I was just razzing you, now that I gather AZR may have been referring to you in another thread. Guess it doesn't have to be only a kat.

                I love this thread.

                Hi all,

                Three of us went for a 700k ride over Saturday and Sunday last. My brother on his Ducati Monster S2R, and a mate on his Buell 1200 Lightning.

                My brother and I travelled from Yass to Bungendore to meet up with number three. Beer and lunch was the order at the Bungendore Pub.



                After lunch we headed down the mountain to Nelligen, the Steampacket Hotel, for a quick schooner to wash the dust from our throats.



                We then headed to Batemans Bay for fuel. For the bikes this time. That's where the unscheduled stop occurred. As we were leaving the servo the gear linkage on the Buell broke. We discovered that it had sheared a bolt. After a few minutes surveying the situation we decided to hit the hardware shop. We bought a battery drill, drill bit, easyout (screw extractor) and a pack of screws. We wandered back to the bike and set about drilling the sheared bolt, inserting the easyout and winding out the bolt. Bunged the new screw in and off we went. The tool kit in the GS came in handy here. We only lost an hour with all that. A job well done.

                The bike repair put us back a bit so we got in to Tathra after dark, so no photo there. I didn't think of it in the morning. We had a few beers and a great night at the pub.

                The next morning was off to Merrimbula for fuel before heading off up the Brown Mountain to Bemboka then on to Cooma, then Bredbo for lunch.



                After a nice lunch at Bredbo we discovered that the screw we had fitted to the gear linkage had worked it's way out and bent. We set about removing the bent item and putting in a new one to get home. It was then on to Michelaego for fuel and then home to Yass for a well deserved beer.

                All up, we did about 700k's and had a great time. The bike is a revelation now that I have it 100% sorted. It does everything so well and goes very nicely. We had a mixture of highways, windy mountain stuff and undulating terrain from Bemboka to Cooma. The bike took it all in it's stride.

                Cheers,
                Muz

                      Nice to see that bike! They went to Great Lengths with the mufflers, didn't they? (and so hard to replace?!)

                          I put on about 350 miles today. I rode to Annapolis Maryland. When I left at noon, it was drizzling rain. Then around Pittsburgh was coming down hard for about 15 minutes. It then dried up the sun came out, perfect. The motorcycle ran really good, it cruised at 72mph very nice. I did kind of missed the power of the BMW but the 850 held it's own. I need to wash the bike for the charity run planned with Cheryl tomorrow. I'll have Cheryl post some pictures of the run... Norm

                            A small port/cottage town shuts down for the event. Mostly American cruisers. Mostly just walk around. Expensive dated shirts and food of questionable quality.

                            The ride there is a nice, two lane 80km/h(50mp/h) with some slower bends along Lake Erie. In town is another. Lots people traffic, first gear and rear brake. And judging by a large number of riders' slow speed maneuverings, left and right worn tennis shoe soles.


                            10 images a post... Ahhhhh... Might be out of order, the tags are quite clunky. No autoresizing either, my apologies to those on smaller resolutions.

                              I've got more photos, but the posting method is archaic. I may upload them to an album if anyone's interested(mostly just old 80's imports).








                              I think this may have been Katana in a past life? Here's to hoping it was a wreck/write off or parts prior to it's... transformation.
