Tasmania Photos

Photos from Tasmanian trip - in reverse order. Best if read from the bottom up. Latest photos have been archived due to there being so many, so read archives last.

All home safe and sound. So, start writing your articles for the magazine! 

Ern and Pete stay another day, checking out the wineries.

Ian Black's Speed Triple 

Cliff and Jason Peters, mid afternoon, last day. 

Dave adjusting Danny's ZX10 suspension, a full time, every day task. Danny had to call Melbourne to get the standard settings at one stage. 

Dave's MV SPR, Elephant Pass 

The amount of time and love expended on this bike ... Ron's Bandit 

Nothing like a decent feed to bring a smile to everyone's face. If only they had more than two people serving the 30 customers. It certainly was leisurely and gave the roads more time to dry.

Last day, from Kettering (60 km south of Hobart) to Devonport via the east coast to St Marys, Scottsdale, Derby and Launceston, a memorable 525 km. Wet roads till about 1 pm, and very greasy around Scottsdale. Only "moment(s)" all trip. Picture at Swansea after major mix up coming into Sorell.

Perpermint Bay conference centre. fastic venue we ate at rather than Kettering Pub. Prices on a par, quality much better, surroundings top class. Must go back. 

Bronwyn Manifold. Oh so happy to be riding. Or, not riding on that crap roadworks section?

Dave Moore's beast. Check out the ocky strap work.

Tahune Air Walk: tree hit by lightening left 2 metre hole in ground and stripe down tree. 

The gang on top of Mt Wellington, Hobart in the background. 

Paul Southwell and bike at Poatina after a 100 km loop and back. The owner of the servo was so taken by the number and quality of bikes (and leather clad riders?) that he set up a tripod on the street (not real busy) and took a few photos of the group. That is him in the background talking to Ian. Good stuff.

Renzo Cunico. 

Yours truly. Thanks Pete.

President, Ian Payne 

Day trip up to Poatina and back. Rob's R1150GS outside Bothwell Pub. Glorious weather. 

Serious stuff - but turnaround time around 20 minutes. Grouse. 

Of course, as usual, tyres were a problem. Luckily we had three vehicles, 5 spare sets of tyres, and the tools to do the business. Tahnks to Cliff and Danny for providing the bead breaker and the skill. I changed my front after 2 days and destroyed a rear after 7 days, like most others. Picture: Jason and ZX12R. Check out stand under swingarm. 

More stuff than you can poke a stick at. 

Half a 916. 

Hobart Garage Bar. What an amazing place. If only they sold decent food, then we would have stayed all night. a real "Blokes World" sort of place, if you get my drift.
