It was time to pick up all these parts i have laying around the place. So monday 5th at 5.30am was the see ya later wife be back in a weeks time.
Day 1; 5.30 departure about 1.5 hrs into the trip one rear tyre decides to shread it self. pull into a town and have two rear tyres fitted 2 BLOODY hours later i am back on the road again. I get down to a town called Grafton feeling a little hungry BUT also thinking i have to make up the 2 hrs lost. so mackers it was driving in to the drive thru to find a guy trimming the bushes around the edge of the drive laying flat on the grass trying to see what i had under the car .HAHAHAHAHHAHA I thought Gess mate just ask me i can bullshit like the rest of ya hill billy mates.
so i get this stuff that thay recon is food. scoff it down but get a coffee instead of a coke, NOW i was sure i asked for sugar. Blow me down dead (NO BLOODY SUGAR) By this time i am already 10kms down the road. so i try and tough it out as a friend of mine tells me he is sweet enough so he doesn't need sugar.(YER RIGHT)hahaha we i must be a grumpy prick (I NEEED SUGAR). Cruisin along and find that the RSM readings isn't quiet what thay should be. NO i didn't this trip(speeding fines) Well luck would have it i got stuck behind a cop car (about 4 cars behind) and we all had to follow him for around 250kms so i learnt what was what reading and the correct speeds. Some of the roads in NSW have been getting up grades but what gets me is this section of road that is getting done was getting done 3 years ago when i first come to queensland and the progress is bugger all. so over about 900 kms down the princess hwy you get around 4 of these. Meet up with Will and have a feed then the heavens open up 50kms in a 110 zone i have not seen rain like it before and people are flying past me (stupid people). Will and i had a little fun in the reasonably dry patches then part company. through sydney (i hate that place) Having a lot of fun with truckies and cars along the way that see a little blue van sitting on 105kms (i will explain later why 105kms) and when thay try to make as lttle amount of room between my rear bumper and there front HAHAHAHA Well what are you going to do Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm back a cog and hoof it Yeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaa I wish i could hear what was said in there cars/trucks Any way i get as far as a way side stop just the other side of Albury Wodonga area. Park it for the night 12.30 am
Day 2
4.30 am arrives . then wet the head drain the snake and were off again. Not much happening along this section of road pretty boring. then you hit the western ring road in Melbourne. to travel 15kms it takes over 1 hr any way i get to the turn off for Ballarat and there is a plain clothed cop car Young guy and what a smart arse so here we are 60kms zone Yep fine, 80 zone he is doing around 72kms then decides he is going to slow down even further. so i move to the right lane and he is sticking right with me. so me making sure i don't do any thing dumb i stick under the limit and try to keep the thing quiet. 100kms zone comes up and i move then he keeps up and floors it. YER cop as if i am going to do that mate Now i can see him but he can't see through the tint at me and no joke i recon this KID was so young I could have produced him Hmmmmmmmmm Nup didn't know any body from Melbourne back then. And Reepas to young so that counts him out.HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA I get to Ballarat to see me Mum Now don't forget i haven't seen mum for near on 3 years. so She just saved Ballarat from going to the next water restriction level. mum had rung my 2 elder sisters and told them i was around so that was great to see them as well and the normal how the families were ETC about 5 hrs later i get to go around and see Joshy boy. and make sure his fiberglass bonnet arrived in one piece. All good thank god, hung around for a bit and then back to mums
hours later i am back on the road again.
