sunday ride

[oneup]

not sure if a sunday ride belongs here or in travel, but as we were just in the local area i guess here will do. thought it might be nice to show you all a bit of australia, and while i sort of got more into sneaking pics while riding, i missed the scenery, so i will do better next time. also this group of friends, which is half and half male and female like to ride fast, which means i didnt get any pics in the tighter winding bits.
we decided to break the law ind ride without registering with the police, and risked a bit of jail time. we did get questioned,and breathalized, (we all blew 0.00 )but one country cop wasnt game to arrest us all.
actually i started my day taking a few pics of the house and yard, and will put those in as well.

notice the dead staghorn plant attached to the palm tree in the pic below .. it has now become home to a wild orchid.

should explain that in queensland a group of 3 or more harley riders can be deemed a "Vicious Lawless Association" under the new VLAD laws.

So in other words you are judged for riding a Harley in a small group. You have to register to take a nice Sunday ride. That's just absured.:Wrong:

Just a Quick Question One, are you on what they call the Gold Coast, or???? I Know some People "Down Under" that I've met on a Harley Group a few years back, and Have had the Luck to even Meet one that came here for a Visit two Years ago! Some GREAT People down there Mate! ThumbUp

Hogman55 i live in the green belt between the gold coast, and Brisbane. it would take me about 40 minutes to get to either central Brisbane or central Gold coast. i lived on the Gold coast for about 10 years before moving here. i am planning to take a ride down there sometime in the next few weeks and take some photos to post here.

Shimpy unfortunately we see a fair few kangaroos on the road, usually dead, The kangaroo and all the other sub species of kangas have no road sense and can bound infront of a car bike or truck in a heartbeat. as a rider you have to be aware of them. Usually dusk is the time they are most likely to be around. One of my friends always has a few kangaroos in his garden. i will get some kanga pics for you sometime soonish.
