Title: Sydney Spring
Post by: MichaelSydney on October 08, 2016, 04:13:27 AM

Spring is well and truly arrived down under. Managed to get a few airhead mates together for a ride up to the Hunter Valley, wine producing area some  120km (75 miles) north of Sydney.

Four "Airheads:" (1 x R65, 3 x R80) on mostly twisty country roads. Total age of bikes about 116 years, age of riders approx double that! My nimble R65 set the pace of course :)

Another great ride with Airheads and their bikes. We managed to make 5 ferry crossings in a day long meander down the Hawkesbury River near Sydney plus a challenging ride through Galston Gorge.

Looking for more Airheads in the Sydney region to join us.

Nice country Michael. 

I was on a K run a few weekends ago and we lunched in Grafton by the river.  This coming weekend I will attending an overnight pre-Christmas get together which will mainly be GS riders.  The aim is to consume a suitable quantity of "Tooheys Old" before retiring.  Many a time a reason to cross the border was just an excuse to drink NSW beer.
