Hi Guys,
How Funny is this on Christmas day I thought it would be great day for a ride , so I gas up at South Nowra & Was ride off when I notice a GS come off the round about ( I thought to mysefl Cool another GS ride going the same way I'm ) anyway I let him over take me & he give me the thums-up
& b the horn & nod back to let him know any way he left me for dead. about 24kms down the road I pass the same GS again & He did the samething so I Nod.  I keep on going until I made a pit stop at Ulladulla ,
about 15mim later the same GS come down the hill and stop & Said Hi Matt   I could not belive it was Muldoon  . I thought it knew that jacket but I thought to mysefl no way) anyway it's was great to catch up Muldoon & was a great ride down to Batmans bay I hope you had a great time & got home safe on Sunday . Also thank-you  for telling about "Australia Motorcycle Atlas" what a GREAT book    I think every motorcycle should have this book I thought it's very good.

You guys don't know how angry I am with myself. As the only South Australian member, I just got back from a 3000km ride around NSW on my '03 GS500, and spent a week in Sydney, It would of been great to catch up with you guys and go for a ride!

Maybe we can find some SA members, Or I'll probably be back in Syd some time.

Hey guys, Have any of your done anything to your suspension ? Considering doing the front springs but wanted to see what you guys have done and if your brought your parts locally or just had your bike done at a mechanics etc, cheers c0r.

Hey, c0r. I got my front fork springs done last Friday at Trevor Jordan's in Wollongong. The new Progressive springs were $129.95 and installation cost me $77. I went for a ride up Macquarie Pass and back on Saturday (awesome weather all weekend!), and I think I got some better handling, although it might just be that I'm getting better at riding the twisties, so the results are really inconclusive so far...

Hi Guys,

Wow what a hot day it was today . pfb, did stop at the Pie Shop at Rob? I have not been there for a month .

all the best matt    your friend

Yep, I stopped at the pie shop, but I hate their pies so I usually just have a coffee and piss off. On my last trip up there I met a guy from Nowra with a brand new black GSX-R1000 and a guy from Holland (I think) with a BMW. They've both heard lots of good things about the GS. Made me feel good!

pfb,

They use to be the best pies around a long time ago  but they are just ok now . I  just love going up there & meet other rides. My first time up there I could not belive how many bike riders stop there &  how friendy ppl were   .  I meet this guy   who name is Max ( his Reg is Max) a very nice guy He & his friend  , they both also had good things to say about the GS 500 which was soo cool .

Thats why I went with the GS 500 for my first bike because it had good reports, I have had it for a year  next month .
I will be moving on in may to a bigger bike The GSF 1200s  :mrgreen: which I can not wait for.


Hey next time you go for a ride up there drope me a line here & maybe we can meet    anyway take care & Safe rider

all the best matt    your friend

Hi Guys,
