The first trip with the S.R.A was a meet and greet at nanango QLD 274 KM S/W of bundaberg where i live, luckly i had a mate (rick) up from brisbane and was heading back so he decided to ride back that way so my first long ride was not on my own.
Departed BUNDY about 7am, stopped at childers to top up with fuel and have a smoke before we hit the countryside roads with no fuel stops for a couple of hours which was goomeri. we stopped there for a stretch and another smoke then on to nanango, arrived about 10.45am.
Was a good trip there some of the best roads that i have ridden on once you turn off at childers, not that it would take much to beat the roads around bundy after the floods.
Riders for this meet were coming from Goldcoast,brissy,toowoomba,ispwich and bundaberg, apon arriving at nanango at the local pub there were only 4 members as the others had been held up at the blackbutt range (on going road works) but finaly they arrived.
We had to move our meeting place for lunch as the local pub no longer cooked meals for lunch, so we moved to RSL around the corner where we were very well looked after by the staff and the meals were great and well priced.
We spent about two hours meeting fellow members and talking bike mod's and more b/shite.
before we all departed to go home we went down the road to the BUCKET to have a group photo.
about 18 bikes had turned up for this meet and greet so it was a good turn out.
After the photo's had been taken we all departed, some south and myself,rayd and son headed north.
My mate rick headed south with MRC,ALDO ETC,to return to brissy.
Rayd lead our short ride together to GOOMERI where we stopped for 5mins , quick talk about the day and said our good byes as i still had a long way to go (about 3hrs).
Stopped once on the way home for a smoke and while stopped a bout 6 bikers on BMW,HARLEYS and 1 trumphy stopped for directions (off to rodeo) so being the good shadow rider we all are sent them in the right direction, well i hope it was, then we set on our way home (coll on the back).
Was watching for storm a head as we were getting closer to childers, by the time we got to childers it had just passed through, lucky for us as we had not taken any wet weather gear, was a sunny day all day and did not plan on getting back so late but time got away with having such a good time meeting up with everyone.
finally arrived home about 5.45pm a bit sore, first long trip and my back was giving it to me, have to do something about the stock seat (which i later did replaced driver and pillion seat with MUSTANG SEATS).
coll and myself were looking forward to the next S.R.A RIDE.
