    Got out for a short ride with a mate I hadn't see for a while this morning, him on his recently finished 750 Kat and me on my 7/11... I thought I'd gotten more of his Kat in the pic but apparently not.

            My son and I rode 180 miles circumnavigating the island of Oahu today. We spent the better part of 9 hours with all the stops and touristy things that tourists do.
            Pics will have to wait until I get home on Wednesday since I can't get them off Flickr using my phone and/or my small tablet.

            He rode his Triumph Bonneville and I rented a Triumph Steet Twin. My rental felt like a toy but it was fun just the same.

                Ride today....?

                Well,,,, I sat on bike and walked it out of garage a ways.
                Washed off the road grime of June 23rd.

                Very therapeutic.

                  Sure did! Yesterday anyway...

                  The Katana guys are doing their annual weekend ride we call State of Origin (Queensland vs. New South Wales) where us Queenslanders get together and ride south while the New South Welshman ride north and we all meet at a place called Nambucca Heads.

                  I couldn't do the whole trip again unfortunately but rode a fair way with the Queenslanders.

                  I ended up doing a bit over 720kms for the day seeing the Qld guys as far as Grafton before I turned back. Next year I'll go all the way and do my U turn on Sunday with the rest.

                  I started riding just after 6am and rolled in the garage at home at 7:30pm, it was a long day in the saddle! Great riding, perfect weather, I just need to get my Katana fitness up to scratch as I'm a little sore today.

                  Some happy snaps from the day starting at Rocklea:

                    Looks like a great day, Pete.
                    720 kms on a Kat is very impressive. I would need a week to recover.

                      Pete,
                      I second the fact that anytime someone does 720km in a day it's an accomplishment! Glad to see you're adjusting to your well earned ride. Give my compliments to the Kat owner you're parked next (a GS650m?) to.

                        Me too. In fact I did a 750-ish km ride on my old 82 Kat 1100 a few years ago but even splitting that distance up between two days was murder on my body. Kudos and respect!

                          Cheers guys! I've recovered surprisingly well... that's the first time in my life I've done that many kms in a single day. The main issue has been my right arm from holding the throttle as I've never been real good at doing the left arm throttle hold so can't rest it much.

                          It would've been easier if I continued on for the rest of the journey as that was well past the half way point but I couldn't stay the weekend unfortunately.

                          I'm thinking about ducking out for a short ride this morning too

                          Charlie, close, it's a GS650G Katana there, and it's a survivor, not restored. Goes pretty well for a little 650!
