We plan to meet our Sturgis 2008 friends. The northbound part of the trip.

The Sturgis Group from 2008 were having a reunion at Cabarita Beach on the NSW North Coast near the Queensland Border, so crew member Nix and I decided to make a longer weekend of it and take ourselves to the reunion and then Brisbane before returning inland.

As the group Nix and I are meeting are all Harley riders I decided to see how the 'Show Pony' would go as a pack horse. This is our first big trip together. Will it be our last?


 
From Show Pony to Pack Horse.

Here she is rumbling ready to go.


A meet with Nix at the 7 11at Berowra, fuel up and we are ready to hit the road.
A bashful Show Pony, 'It's nice to meet you, Electra Glide.
So here we go. From near silence of a rumble in the car park.

On the road and the journey truly begins. Sorry I haven't yet learnt how to to add music. One day.



A little bit of road art or at least I try to be arty with the video camera.



This is Nix as we travel the road north.

My shadow races me as we continue north.


As Nix motorcycle touring company is called dTour.biz www.dTour.biz we have to stop at a Cafe called Detours Cafe in Bulahdelah.

Now this IS a pie. I thought it expensive until it arrived.
A little stop to fuel and prepared for the forecasted rain.
The best way to stop it raining is to out on the wet weather gear.
I am guessing you wear the brand of your motorcycle in case you get separated.

Oh look another Pie Shop. This was a smoke stop for Nix and for me time off the show pony's saddle.
Remind me Nix to buy an Air seat if find any.
We were good and didn't not venture in. Shame as they make great pie I have discovered from previous trips.

Fredo Pie shop at Frederickton, NSW.

Nix and I arrive at our overnight accommodation. Aualuna Beach Resort www.aqualunabeachresort.com.au
Our accommodation at Aqualuna Beach Resort 840 Pacific Highway Sapphire Beach NSW

Now its time to do some fine Takeaway dining. You just add a bottle of red to make it fine.


The motorcycles just need a rub down to get rid of the dew
If you have a pot in the kitchen, you can do a quick wash to get the road grime off.
Don't tell the landlord.

Breakfast you we are ready for day 2.


Time to feed the motorcycles for the next leg.

I can't see! Where's my glasses?
Another view along the road.



In the next part of this story we met the group.
Life does not get any better!
