    ok...since i cant make the ride with every1 on sunday, deciding to do one on sat instead!

    anyway, details are as follows:

    Meet point: deans place (another point mite b arranged if more ppl r coming)
    Time: 7.20am
    Depart:7.30am

    Route: ok this mite change on the day but should b roughly as follows.
    take the m1 to geelong then anglsea rd towards the gor.
    do pretty much the gor to port campbell. then turn back to apollo bay. once out of apollo bay take skenes creek back to winchelsea n then back to werribee wherre i guess every1 heads bak home.

    prolly stop in apollo bay for a breather n morning tea/breakfast ro wateva. then lunch at port campbell. of course with sufficient fuel stops along the way. will be about 3 ppl goin so far.

    weather looks good so far, fine n 30.

    I'd jump at it but im saving my ass for Sunday. Really should go do the GOR instead of heading for the hills again... but ugh; already arranged.

    Enjoy the ride fella's; lets hope we get another couple of weekends like this before Winter hits us.

    alrite.....now fro the ride report
    was a nice day to start the ride.
    the freeway to geelong n thru it wqas relatively quiet. once we hit anglesea gettinog near lorne, the traffic was getting quite ridiculus...lol...
    anyway, after a stop in apollo bay for some fuel we headed to lavers hill down the gor, very nice road with a lil traffic but nuffin not managable.
    got to lavers hill n kept heading down to the 12 apostles lookout n port campbell.
    anyway, form lavers hill to pt cambell my mate on his cbr managed to come to off. <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( --> he is ok, a bruise on the elbow. the bike is fixable, new cockpit fairing n screen n some paint. so we waited til 5ish for his mates to come but stuill weerent there so me n dean headed to lavers hill for some reception. called them n they were on their way. so me n dean headed to apollo bay, stoppin for a caffiene fix before heading out down skenes creek.
    hafta say this is an awesom road, some nice hairpins n some marvelous s's. then some flat straights good for top speed runs...lol
    anyway got to geelong n was quite dark, both of us had tinted visors but dean had glasses, lucki bastard.
    anyway headed bak to werribee where i seemed to be bombarded with bugs since my visor was up. then as i was doing a headcheck my visor blew off for some reason! <!-- s:argue: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_evil.gif" alt=":argue:" title="Argue" /><!-- s:argue: --> this was as i was passin a car so dropped bak to 100 n pulled to the left lane n stopped at the next exit.
    anyway, the globes on the headlights managed to blow as well..so onli high beam worked. <!-- s:roll: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_roll.gif" alt=":roll:" title="Rolling LoL" /><!-- s:roll: -->
    anyway, made it bak home in one piece with not many more bugs once i got closer to melb.

    anyway, hope to get some pics up. was a good 600km day....

    ride safely pplz.

    Sounds like quite a day you had there!

    Remember; as many people seem to remind me... bad things always come in threes; and you've had your set. So now some good fortune HAS to come your way.... right?..... right? <!-- s:D --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_biggrin.gif" alt=":D" title="Very Happy" /><!-- s:D -->
