Here's a breif ride report.
Got to the meeting place at about 9:15am, hug around until 9:35am then
headed. Ride along the Geelong highway was boring, nothing much happenin,
cruised through Geelong & out the otherside, I know there's a better way,
But I don't know it, Just outside the otherside of Geelong a little bit of
fun happened. I rode past a side Rd & this big orange thing was waiting to
cross into my direction, so I slowed abit to see what it was as it was
cathing up quickly, I turned out to be one of those new KTM Adventures, I
stuck with him for about 1 km before he desided to open her up, I done the
same as we passed a P plater, We got to about 180+ before I backed off, I
wasan't cathing him, But he wasn't getting away either. And he was still
pulling hard when I backed off, I recon he'd do 200+ without much problems.
The weather was abit cool, but nice when the Sun shon through, But damp
in patches to catch out the careless. Almost caught me out on my way back
trying to keep up with an old Jotta that was two up, I desided to let him go
after that, But i'm getting ahead of myself.
Any way, I just enjoyed the ride through to Anglesea, Some nice 100kmh+
flowing Rds with minimal traffic to worry aboutBut after Anglesea, Between
there & Lorne was a case of watch out for the conditions, Because the sun
hadn't or doesn't hit some of the Rd, There was a fair fiew damp or wet
patches to catch people out. What I found annoying was that I had this white
Toyota Torago on my arse most this leg, Yeah I know, I should have just let
him/her past, but I'm not like that, and besides, When the Rd straightened
out, I left them behind, Anyway, I get to Lorne, find a park & get a taosted
ham, cheese & tomamo sandwich & a latte.
After about 1/2hr I decide to head back, Nothing eventful happened worth
mentioning but the Jotta episode mentioned ealier.
Got home abit knackered, First long ride for some time covering so many
Km is such a short time, Almost 300km in total.
Hope everybody else enjoyed there day, I know I did, Can't wait until
the next time.

You had a Tarago tailing you on the GOR? What, did it have a WRX engine
and a Proton KR built chassis or something? ;-)

Nah, I forgot to mention, It was some Jap terrorests driving it, Thay're
crazy along there, Not the first time I've had this happen with them, Last
time I was in my long gone cage following someone I thought knew the Rd, we
were going pretty hard, Turned out to be Jap Terrorests, We stopped for
lunch in Lorne, when we left, we passed them parked with a Rd map on the
boot.
This time though the Rd was wet, And I value the grip I have, As to the
very reason they were on my but most of the way, Only when the Rd
straightened out that I got away from them, only to have then catch me again
when the rd got twisty again.

The thought that you wouldnt get out of the way for the Tarago van makes
me wonder how many times that will happen until someone in a car with
a bit less temper nudges you out of the way. It would be your own fool
fault to, next time let them pass you on the straights. Did it not occur
to you that it is very dangerous having someone up your clacker in an
environment of low grip????? guess not. What happens if you loose it in
front of them... you could become an ugly hood ornament.

Ahh... this guy is a C.F.C.

Anyone can ride flat out in a straight line. You can train a monkey to sit
on a bike, and twist the throttle open...

Bite Me dipshit!
I don't know the GOR well enough to be a hero, especially when it's wet!
I'm no Rd riding hero full stop!
You sound like one of these F'wits who go overtaking everything &
anything on a cnr/staight/where ever you please, One of these dickheads that
give us a bad name.
