Another GHOST ride is being organised for this Sunday, destination (probably) the Middleton tavern BTW you don't have to have Grey Hair or be Old as long as you ave a sports bike or tourer and enjoy riding in company, you'll fit inCome on don't be woos' you can have a hot shower when you get home I'm awaiting details and I'll put them up as soon as I have them. I also met a shadow rider today in Pt Adelaide and it turns out he is from Aldinga he may be joining us on the ride, he doesn't have a computer so won't be joining us here, but he likes to ride (don't we all) So come on clear your calenders and join us, usual departure time is 9.30ish from the Strathalbyn railway station but you can join in anywhere along the route, (advised soon)just let us know where you will be and we'll wait for you if you are late

Well done Frank - I'm a tentative yes. I haven't cleared it with the Ministry of Finance yet, but that shouldn't be a problem, I rule the roost here, when I'm allowed to.

Oh dear, SWMBO has agreed that a ride would be good for my well being and the 31st is out 'cause I've just booked tickets to see Bob Dylan. I guess that I'll just have to point Scarlett into the wind and let her take me where ever. With a new front tyre Saturday (hopefully) I think that I can feel a black & tan at the Golden Grain Tavern, Wunkar on Sunday just might be in order.

Would like to come along but that day doesn't work for me as I will be interstate, I am looking forward to riding soon though with some of the SA contingent when the planets align.

Ok here it is, I've ben asked to be ride leader and come up with the route, so without further a due the details
GHOST Riders Newsletter (Grey Haired Old Sports and Touring Riders) August 24th, 2014 Our ride leader for our next run on Sunday August 31st is Frank, who has mapped out the following route. The weather forecast is encouraging so let’s get out there.
G'day all, We'll be leaving Strathalbyn Railway Station at 9.30 (ish) heading on the Strathalbyn Rd to Macclesfield left onto Todd St- Main Rd and left again onto the road to Meadows. From there we’ll head to Kangarilla along Dashwood Gully Rd, then left onto MacLaren Flat Rd till we reach Wickham Hill Rd, turn left and head for The Range, onto Range Rd till we get to Brookmans Rd and turn onto Victor Harbor Rd and head to Mt Compass where we'll stop for a coffee and stretch the legs. It may sound a little complicated but we won’t get lost. Trust me! (Yeah right, Frank! Ed) After we're refreshed we'll continue onto Victor Harbor rd till we reach and turn left onto Crows Nest Rd down to Waterport Rd and left towards Middleton where we'll stop at the Middleton Tavern for lunch. Frank

OK Frank - I've put my foot down, with a firm hand, and I'll be there (Strath RW station) with the new front tyre. Have called Bob and he'll hold up the show if I'm a bit late (which I shouldn't be). BTW, his reviews are pretty good for a 70+ year old - get there if you can.
See you there .. Cheers ... Mark

There will be 5 of us from Aldinga, one other riding a Shadow (2002 1300) and a trike, heard that about 3 from the Harley riders forum will be there as well, and the weatherman says mostly sunny with 60% chance of <1mm of rain, so looking good Dood has said he'll be there as will Langers, so come on, who else is in

I have to pull out of the ride on Sunday, hate to pull out but have to, my lovely lady has come down crook, and after getting swab test results, she has type A flu, something I do not wish to pass on to anybody (so far I'm OK and hope to stay that way) one of the GHOST rider members, is undergoing chemo ATM and it would be remiss of me to take such a flu to her. I will still meet the people from Aldinga at the servo (and keep my distance) for some intros and send them on their way, every one is still most welcome to go on the ride, none of the GHOST's will bite, they are all friendly,
