    Fun ride guys! Pity about the lack of ppl, but it was a thursday afternoon! Good for traffic anyhow. Hope to do it again in the uni holidays..should get some more ppl then. If we can organise one with the cbr guys on their website that would be good.

    was awesome fun but like dave/AKA garfield said, sore asses, was lying down on my stomach for a few hours after getting home. Was good to go on a long ride, spent most of my time playing catch up to grendal and garfield <!-- s:oops: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_redface.gif" alt=":oops:" title="Embarassed" /><!-- s:oops: --> but then i got busted by a parked speed camera <!-- s:mad: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_mad.gif" alt=":mad:" title="Mad" /><!-- s:mad: --> and they were apparently stuck behind cars when they past it. No Fair!! <!-- s:cry: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_cry.gif" alt=":cry:" title="Crying or Very sad" /><!-- s:cry: --> No close calls to speak of really, there were not many tourists on the rd. Cant wait for the next ride, hopefully it'll be in summer, hehehe

    Yeah we were very lucky with traffic. There were hardly any cars on the G.O.R. Guess thats one of the benefits going during the weekdays <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->. We prob passed no more than 10 cars going from lorne to apollo bay, which is like a 60km road.

    Hopefully we can organise another ride for the uni holidays..should be able to get a few more ppl there.. Also, what is the cite for the cbr 250s? I had a bit of alook last night and couldn't find anything!

    Sandog, you give me no choice but to say i made it lol.. nah i bought if off sportbikecam.com , but through a SA dealer which is a rip off as from the US its cheaper. i paid $220 for it. I will get some pics for you so you guys can check it out. it bolts on the fuel cap outer area , so u can still fuel with the camera mount on still.
