I finally managed to swing a day off work and go for a ride today and thought I'd share a few pics  . This was the first time I'd gotten a chance to take my 1125R 'Ronin' for a good run up in the hills since I bought it, as well as try out my new leathers (the weather has finally started to cool down a bit here) and I got to mess around with my camera a bit too. Ronin impressed me greatly, the weather stayed dry and I didn't get caught behind traffic too often when I got to the twisty bits. I did just over 300km and really got back into the groove in the second half. The chicken strips are a little thinner now  Mt Mee lookout  The Pacific is out there somewhere in the haze:  The twisties just south of Kenilworth:   Somewhere between Kenilworth and Maleny, this is pretty typical South-East Queensland. Everything is nice and green at the moment for a change    Ronin portrait:  I messed around with doing a self portrait:    Once I got home I cleaned both Buell's (and did some work on the F100 too).    All in all a really nice day off. Hope everyone else manages a nice day off riding soon, wherever you are cheers, chili | ||

AND....Now you all know who the real black Stig was!!! Bahahahahaha! Glad you had a good ride | ||

Well.... all I can say is I'm glad you are going to LA and then NY and driving to C-Bus so you may have the driving on the opposite side of the road down before you get on a bike and ride to East Troy. Great pics! | ||

looks like a nice day graham. i ride about 50 miles round trip every day on the bikes but very boring here in florida where you have 11 curves in 318 miles. i can't wait to move some day. | ||

I've been here almost 9 years and I'm still discovering great twisties . Local law enforcement are really taking the fun out the game though, I need to get to a track day sometime soon. Riding/driving on the right-hand side doesn't worry me too much. If it's anything like last time I went to the U.S., the problem will be switching back to the left when we return home  | ||

Nice - I notice the start of a promising Uly road behind you in picture #8 !! | ||

Uly's (and Triumph Tigers) make more sense to me than they used too This is where went, Dayboro to Kenilworth and back: 152.82427&sspn=0.080006,0.135269&ie=UTF8&ll=-26.90 6151,152.817078&spn=0.808251,1.208496&t=h&z=10,htt p://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=D ayboro+QLD&daddr=kenilworth&geocode=FdwEYf4dzukbCS mNuaKNgAeUazGkOVjse-xcwg%3BFTY_av4dUHIaCSn33FK9PX2 UazFlauqq1ooSOw&gl=au&hl=en&mra=ls&sll=-27.196196, 152.82427&sspn=0.080006,0.135269&ie=UTF8&ll=-26.90 6151,152.817078&spn=0.808251,1.208496&t=h&z=10 | ||

Great pics, looks like some very nice rides over there. You gotta stop parking on the wrong side of the road though! | ||

Riding/driving on the right-hand side doesn't worry me too much. If it's anything like last time I went to the U.S., the problem will be switching back to the left when we return home Good to hear!  I have no worries. When I drive in England, the problem is parking lots and garages (car parks). That's where I have no reference and make mistakes. Great ride and great pics! | ||
