Winstons Oxley Shake Down – day 1

Kimmie’s been frantically trying to get things ready for the BDR to Alice that she’s taking me on. My seating arrangement has been modified now that Karl has installed the panniers (bless him for his hard work) and I now have a nice comfy place on the pillion seat…WOOF!!

Noice – comfy seat

So this morning we headed off for Port Macquarie via Putty Rd, Maitland, Dungog, Gloucester, Taree & at just after 5:00pm we finally arrived. Finally cos it rained most of the way and I got very wet on the pillion seat but Kimmie seemed to be happy and dry…growl.

I got to dry off a little bit at Gloucester when we stopped for lunch

Drying out at Gloucester

The highlight for me today was this morning on the way to meet point, a ute with a couple of fella’s pulled up next to us and gave us a big “thumbs ups” after seeing me proudly sitting on the back… BARK!! I think we both had a moment.
