An Amazing Day in September - our ride 17/9/11

This ride was one of those that will not fade from the memory too easily... a large group of bikers, the bluest of blue skies, a warming temp and some great roads to be riden
..a great photo..and more bike to meet on the road

....and of course  some awesome first timers including
Dereck and his "Cool" Harley 883
Ben..his Honda and all that leather
the ladies - Veronica & Sahara and Dad - Tuli on the monster 1600 Boulevard
So , after everyone caught up, we headed off down the freeway to Nerang and the temp went up towards 30 deg, stopped for a cold drink and some of us took the opportunity to pop into a RSPCA opp shop to get a cool T-Shirt.
Then it was off to the beautiful Numimbah Valley.....first the twisty's then onto the beautiful valley and hills in the background


Now it doesn't get better than this.... hanging behind a harley....great road and scenary and heading toward the border and a break.


Caught up with Paul on his new/old suzuki..looked good but I don't know about the skull motif on the bike.
Dave thinks Paul's bike is OK... but think Pauls really like Dereks Harley


Then it was down the hill into NSW and a little detour to the quaint old loggin town of Tyalgum. We luv to catchup at Flutterby's, waitresses all dressed up in period costume...a bit hot on a day like this
wonder what are the Boy's and Veronica looking at...???
Before we left Tyalgum we came across an amazing lady who had ridden down from Cairns , on her way to a new job in Camberra......all in 4 weeks, now thats a biker!!!


Then we had to endure beautiful countryside and curving roads through Murwillumbah to the Tumbulgum Pub for lunch. Larry caught up with us there with his new Triumph sprint. After a relaxing feed we took Ben's advice and headed back into the hinterland ...following Sam on this new run ....a great little prologue before we hit the freeway and home.
A ride to remember, with a great group of bikers for sure ..... to re-live the run check out the video below
