SS1600k: My First on the Africa Twin

[Wombattle]

A couple of dodgy guys I know mentioned they were d0ing an IBA ride passing through Mt Beauty on Saturday. I thought I'd tag along and test out the new McCruise to see how it went and also rack up my first 1600K on the Africa Twin. I also got to test out the knobbies in the twisties for a while.

Nice write up and photos Craig, settling in the foot pegs had me laughing. Well done

Grinding while riding, now that's the way to do it Wombattle.

Thanks for the report and it was nice to catch with you at Mt Beauty.

Thanks for the company on the day Wombattle. Always a treat.

Nevertire Nic now has a shiny new FarRider #1060 as a reward for his 1775km dayride.

Oi! I resemble that remark!
Was good to have you along, even though your 'leader' skills at Wodonga were a bit dodgy....

A mate of mine always thought that there should be a race series where bikes are weighed before and after.
He who grinds the most off wins.

Cool report Wombattle.

The AT's footpegs are a little too high off the road to be too competitive. But my old Harley Even wrote about it http://myharley-davidson.net/index....=BLOG&leca=570&pageMode=indiv&FromSearch=true

Good to see you at on Saturday Wombattle.I love that run over Mitta ,it was even good when half of it was dirt.
One of lifes simple pleasures is ringing the neck of your HD ,always a blast. I have even managed to grind the primary on the ground on my FXD but the rear wheel
isn't on the ground then. It's exciting.

Nice route there, great combo of slabtop and scenic roads/lots of corners.
Thanks for sharing!

Nice one mate, good to see the AT is working out. I have a Tractionator rear and a Pirelli front to go one the Kato soon, looking forward to seeing how they cope with distance work.

"...catching up was like speed dating..."

mmmmm.... it was a bit like that - which is a worry!

Thanks for the details and the run-down on the bike. Good to catch up again albeit briefly.
Congrats on another first!
