As the band of bikers arrived at Gateway we were all desperate to stretch our legs and get some km's under our wheels on a dry sunny day in the great South East. With over 13 bikes and a support vehicle leaving from Gateway and another 3 meeting us at Beaudesert we had a big crew ( and plenty of ladies) for this run out to Lake Moogerah.
an impressive range of bikes
Barry and his beautiful 1974 Ducatti
Brett with his brand new Harley
We had a great mix of bike and new riders including Barry's beautiful '74 Ducatti cafe racer...unfortunately he had to turn back due to some misfiring and fowling the plugs (maybe next time Barry.
the ladies add some class to the ride
another classic Kawasaki
Mike with his BMW
Daryll with the twin Harley..... boys will be boys
Trevor on his classic BMW
Drew coaxing Megan onto the classic Kwakka
I headed of with a smile on my face, followed by one happy group of riders as we headed down the freeway to the Yatala turnoff...around the back of Beenleigh, through Tamborine village and off to Beaudesert and our rendevour with the golden arches.
After meeting Des (and the Guzzi) , Trevor and Grant and wife we enjoyed a delicious, healthy brunch (ha,ha) we headed off to Boonah and the beautiful Moogerah
the lake was so full ,the area so green
everyone enjoyed the views
After a great ride to Lake Moogerah along some fantastic roads..everyone were gobsmacked by the amazing vista of Lake Moogerah, the Harley's scurried to the trees to get out of the harsh sun....we had a lazy time enjoying each others company, laying on the really green grass, sharing life's stories and off course lots of discussion about bikes.
After a good break at Lake Moogerah we headed off on more amazing roads to Mt Alford, a shortcut down some back-roads we emerged at the Boonah-Rathdowney for an exciting ride along a twisty road with everything thrown in...this is a great road through landscape so beautiful its hard to keep the eyes on the road....the Harley's did some board scraping around the bends. We stopped at the Rathdowney
Pub for a good pub lunch in the cool outdoor beer garden
After some great feasting we headed off , Megan enjoying a comfy ride home on the back of Davids big BMW LT 1200 lounge room, couldn't wipe the smile off Megan's face....sorry Drew (husband) your will have to cough up for a bigger bike!
So another fantastic ride in the great south-east...this was another jewel of a discovery that will stay on our list of favorite rides with some great friends.
