The Golden Triangle Rider

daewoo · Posted: 04.05.2008, 13:41 Post subject: Ride Report - just outside Sydney

I live about as far south as you can go, and still be in the Sydney Street Directory... my mate lives about 45mins (at 120km/h) south west of me...

He had asked me to go over and help him put the engine back in his Datsun 240z Rally Car... I just thought I would take some pics on the way back to show some of the guys on here...

It is getting towards winter here, so it is down to between 7 and 12 degrees overnight, and low twenties during the day... so a little bit cool on the bike, but not too bad...

This is a couple of pics on the road near my mates house (Broughton Pass between Appin and Wilton)

view over Gunamatta Bay, near my home

This is Broughton Pass Bridge, near my mates place, there is a road through here which connects the coastal highway with the inland highway it doesn't carry much traffic, but a few bikes use it on the weekend

Broughton Pass, near my mates home

Not a km up onto the plains the view is very different.

Wilton Road near Appin

On the way home I thought I would drop down into the Royal National Park near my home where there is always a heap of bikes (hundreds) on weekend mornings, but by now most were gone so I didn't stop... a bit further up the road I stopped to get some road photos.

Royal National Park, Otford.

A couple of guys were waiting for a bike carrier to come and pick up this bike that a guy who they had never met had dropped on a test drive from the dealer... could be a bit expensive for someone... he had left in an ambulance, even though he was only apparently doing 5km/h when he laid it down...

Pikey, notice what one of the guys was riding???

The damaged Duke

By then it was getting late so I had to push on, but I will try and get down there one morning to photograph the bikes gathering...

Cheers,
Daewoo
