I thought I'd better inform you all a little about our bush rides.
First and upmost, its about having fun with others, who like going for a ride (Quick or Slow) away from the city traffic.
I have my favourite run, that being up through Jarrahdale, were traffic is low and road conditions are good, there is little to no side roads which is good, this keeps unwanted surprises down! This part of our jurny starts with long straights and sweepers (good for warming you up for the day).
Then we take the scenic dam route, this becomes a slower run with some tighter corners (not to mention a couple of OFF's on a tight right hander). This road can be a little bumpy so caution should be given. Once past the dam we shoot off to North Dandalup, this road is also wide and smooth for the first 15 to 20Km but the last 10km is the worst you will see all day, the road becomes quite tight with pee gravel in the middle, and serious caution must be used (If you stay between the middle and the centre white line you will experience NO problems) Ride within your limits!!!
Once we get to the South West HWY, its a steady run to North Dandelup, 10Km of straight road.
Now the real FUN starts as we head up to Dwellingup, This road is quite clean and tight and twisty and runs up and down a few hills. The best thing about the part of the trip, big is not always the best, if your bike handels well you will be fine, there are not too many straights so top speed is not an issue. But as always ride within your limits, we always waite for everyone (head count).
Once at the top we will all have to fuel up, and like always SMILES all round!!
From this point we will head off to Quindanning pub, this road suits the big bore bikes, there no hassels sitting in top gear while pushing rev limiter, for my 600 its bouncing off the rev limiter. the roads are very smooth and wide and the corners are long sweeping bends (Fucken Awesome ), but like always Ride within your Limits!!
Once we get to the turn off to the pub, its a steady trip. roads are narrow and at times you can not see what is behind the next bend, slow up!
Once at the pub, pretty hard to shut everyone up! No complaints from anyone and once again smiles all round (good to see). After lunch and a drink (cool drink) we are off to Pinjarra and the Old Bunbury Rd.
This road is another work of art! Nice and wide, smooth as with long sweeping bends that tighten up as we go along (mint )
From there we head off home though baldivis and then onto Freeway.
The day would constist of 450 to 500km and 6 to 61/2 hours, and its all about having fun.
We always waite at turn off's for every one, no one gets left behind.
Note this is not a race track, but at the same time do as you wish but RIDE WITHIN YOUR LIMITS please!!!
I don't know anyone that has not enjoyed this trip, and its good experience for you and your bike, From Gixxer 1000 to a GPX250 its about you and your bike and a nice day out with friends 8) 8) 8)
At some stage this summer give it ago, I will be trying to organise 1 ride per month at least.
For those who have done this Bush Run feel free to express your views and any input you think that would make it better! 8)
Thanks.
