I would like to echo the sentiments and accolades of my fellow riders for the marvellous effort by the "management team" to plan and execute such a wonderful Muster event. Well done to everyone involved. Thank you for the obvious personal effort that went into the whole shebang!
I had the pleasure of a homeward ride with Ox, Nevertire Nic, Tiger Bill and Wombattle. After the Dish photos, we headed eastward via Orange, Bathurst (with a lap of the Mountain as we do), then bathed in wonderful sunshine we headed through the hills of Sofala, through Kandos, Rylestone and Bylong before rejoining the Golden Highway just west of Denman. It was a tad cool, but really quite a beautiful day for such a ride.
A bit of a worry for me whilst negotiating the Bylong Valley .... the tyre pressure warning sensor on the K16 started flashing red. Close monitoring showed a slow and steady leak .... the culprit was a rear tyre that had worn to the canvas belting down the centre.
My small compressor was enough to regain enough pressure to limp the bike home without any catastrophic failure. I was compelled to stop about every 40\50k's to top up the pressure, so needless to say the last few hundred kilometres was quite a protracted exercise. Thanks to the ride buddies for their concern and kind understanding. Safely in the driveway around 17:30 and on the phone Monday morning to order a new tyre. Then back to work .................
Until next time ...... safe travels to you all
