Well off we go left right on 8am my brakes feel good the weight of the bike doesn't feel too much different our comms are working perfectly.
We stop at the Pit Stop in Salt Ash for petrol and are quickly on our way to meet Leigh at Maccas Rutherford.
The traffic in Melbourne St is horrendous so we get to Maccas a little after 9am. A quick nature stop and sync our comms and off we go!!
Leigh says our trip starts as we turn off onto the Golden Hwy as she hasn't driven on this road before we get stuck behind some slow moving traffic but not for long. My bike starts mucking up backfiring, blowing smoke and going slow and losing power up the hills. We get to Rylestone at 1:30pm and order lunch at The Globe Hotel and while we wait for our food Dave takes my bike to the garage to see if they can fix it, he soon comes back and they don't have parts so we decide to push on after lunch. Our lunch was yum and the garden was so pretty. After lunch my bike goes from bad to worse and shortly after the turn to Bathurst near Kandos it stops altogether!!
A quick phone call to the NRMA and help is on the way, Andrew the towie rings ahead to Bathurst to the Triumph shop (amazing they have a Triumph shop!!) and asks them to stay late so we can put the bike in the shop overnight. The guy at the shop Barry is a lovely fellow and even though he has a workshop full of bikes to fix he will fix mine first!!
So we check into the hotel and then walk down the street and buy kebabs for dinner. mmmmm yum!
