Well finally I have a 14 day break so I'm off, off to Wollongong to see the grandkids, plus some sightseeing.
Going take a couple of days to get there, a few days with them and then a few more days to get back home.
It's a shame that the break didn't coincide with the AGoM but this way I still get a trip in.
ride safe.

Well I finally made it to Wollongong and back.
No problems except...... on the way up for around the last 300 kms the engine would cut out, no warning, no sluggishness etc, just cut out for a couple of seconds and the go again. All along I was thinking Ok if it dies where can I pull over, how do I get to my destination etc. But it made it to Wollongong where I contact a Honda service centre and they had a look. The result was that there was a battery terminal that had come slightly loose and when it hit a bump the engine would die. He also question why I had several keys on my key ring - engine, disc lock, padlock, house key etc because occasionally the weight of the keys can lead to the barrel moving slightly and subsequently the motor dies.
anyway all sorted and made the trip back to home without any problems. Thanks to Carr Brothers Honda Wollongong.
Detoured several times to check out the coast and the beaches - jezz we have some magnificent sights.
To all the Vic's heading North, enjoy. To all SRA members gathering at the AGoM, sorry I cant be there this year.
Ride safe
