Yeah manybikes, I did ride this week every chance i got. I too saw deer and cats and an opposum. Like to clipped him but missed. Life is full of thrills but riding is the best. My time alone on the cruizer is the best. It is really and truly therapy for the mind. It doesn't matter what road or how many times I've traveled it, I still love riding.

Well after our little Skpe session yesterday morning (Friday 23 Oct) I gave the bike a quick polish and set off for the day. What a beautiful moring. No country riding however.

I visited my former manager on the other side of Adelaide who recently retired and had been cruising arounf Europe. Had a look through his photos and video then set off again.

Next stop was a visit to a custom sheep skin seat cover manufacturer. Had the bike seat measured up for a custom cover to keep the Boss happy.

Next stop the Caven Hotel. This is a regular meeting place for bikers and bike clubs heading out for rides north of Adelaide. Not to mentionthey have the best steak sandwiches in Adelaide.

I met up with Ray Trewin - Shadow2357 here. Another CC Community member. Ray is coming on the innaugural CC River Run with us next April and it was good to put a face to yet another member.

From here it was a short ride to another mate's place, also a CC Community member - Dougie59 - who had just received his chrome Kuryakin levers from CC. He received them in less than 10 days and was very pleased with the service.

After a few coffees It was time to set off to meet up with Dr. Phil Cole. Although I talk with Phil regularly on SKYPE, this was only our second meeting.

Phil was actually on time at the desiginated meeting place but as was expected was almost out of petrol and needed to get cash out off the hole in the wall (ATM machine).

I must say Phil looked very elegent in his new helmet he had received that day from CC. Another satified customer.

Phil followed me to the Vietnam Veterans MC club rooms where we enjoyed a couple of light beers and talk about of all things - motorbikes.

Unfortunately, Phil now has all of the VVMC on his bloody red pills. Although he did prescribe the green ones for Curly, our only member who did two tours of Vietnam. Phil believed Curly needed something stronger for having to put up with me. Not nice Phil.

Not long after Phil set off from home I too set off. I was a beautiful night. No need of a jacket and although the clubrooms are only 20 minutes from my place it took me two hours to get home.

Left home at 8am and arrived hom at 11pm. A long but enjoyable day.
