Huge thanks to Richard for putting us up whilst we were in Melbourne, really appreciated.
Was good to catch up with a few faces I haven't seen for a while, and I'm grateful I had the chance to help see rocket off, gonna miss him. All in all not the best reason for a visit to melbournistan, but as it was the last chance of doing something for rod it was a no brainer, had to be there.
As for the gixxer, well, it may sound odd, but the darn thing is actually more comfortable than my busa was on the long hauls, doesn't make sense but there ya go.
We had a near perfect run over the black spur on the way home, and an outstanding breakfast on the other side of it.
+1 to all you say Brent. Thanks Richard and Jo, isn't she just the sweetest woman in the world - must be a school teacher thing!

And the blow up mattress on the floor sure beat the hell out of the floor as an alternative.
You Mexicans are alright.

Good weather, good woman, good road, good bike, good-bye!!
