You TRAILERED your Bandit ? Reardo. Are you getting old ?

Down with the family again mate. I could get 3 on the bike, But no where to put the luggage.

Silver rang me & is meeting up with us in Strath.

Weather looking good, as Big Al put it Woo Hoo.

Good luck. Hope you mob have a good ride. We have gazzanats on here in collie. Bogans galore!

Probably dust off the dirt bike tomorrow and go for a quick spin.

Have a good , safe ride Guys/Gals. We expect a full report with lots of pics. Please.

Well that was an interesting day! Hope there nothing coming in the mail! lol!

I picked up Reardo as planned ( not literally , I just had some hernias fixed ) at 9am & headed south to Aldinga to meet up with Big Al ,Diablo & Xpalan (who was there to meet Reardo & then headed off on a family day thing) . From there the 4 of us went south over the Myponga dam wall ,through Carracalinga ,Normanville ,Delamere & over to Victor Harbor for a coffee& pit stop .From there we went via Middleton , bull creek road , Macclesfield to " the Garage " at Strath, where we met up with Silver for a coffee & then over to the pub for lunch & a natter.( also bumped into some others we Knew from the Ducatti club & ASB there .)After lunch it was home via Paris creek ,Kangarilla & a scenic route via the Vales wineries .All in all a great ride despite the force being out in force ( you can have mine if I get one in the post Big Al to go with your others mate LOL ) all up I did about 320 km which I wasnt sure I would make after the hernia operation but so glad I went ;sorry Hammy I didn`t take any photos .

Ok. Had a great day, lots of good roads and top blokes on nice bikes .

Thanks for making the day a good one boys. Oh, hang on. I think I was the closest thing to a boy .

Sorry you blokes that had stuff on couldn't come, maybe next time.

A special thanks to Paul for coming to get me, Leading the way and showing me the way home. Cheers mate.

Sounds like a great ride. Even though I have'nt a clue where all the places are. I forgive you Paul because of your Hernia ops. Reardo ! surely you had a camera or video strapped to your head.

Adelaide is built on the Fleurieu peninsula & we basically did a southerly lap of that plus a bit & some weaving in & out while we were at it ( you`ll have to come down Hammy & I`ll show you )

You never know Paul. I may just take you up on that offer one day. Only holidayed in SA once many years ago. Loved the place. Just like a big town really. Stayed at Glenelg on the beach. Very nice. Dined with the Dolphins. Toured up around Wilpenna Pound. Lovely. Left some money at the Casino. Drank some beer that tasted like Camel urine.

ps. Still awaiting pics or video. Or, as Reardo sez himself. " It did'nt happen "

I did see Reardo a snap a couple of pics and he did have his mounted camera but he was trying to handle them corner thingies we showed him and most likely couldn't hit the record button!

Still Waiting.................

Sorry mate. Had the Gopro with me, But Didn't fire it up . To busy talking and trying to find a straight road .
Only pic taken.

That's a nice looking fence, Reardo.

Bandits behind bars. Thats appropriate. I'm giving you an E-.

A lot of development done at Glenelg where you can pay the same price for 3 of my houses as you do for somewhere to park your boat in their new marina . Despite that Adelaide is still one of the best places to live & raise a family .( not sure what beer you had , must have been imported LOL )
