We modified Mika's BOV, took about 10 minutes to do then we waitind around till 12:15 to see if anyone else would turn up.We got to Healesville in record time I think and the drive through the first half or the spur was excellent. Only caught 1 little Pugeot that I quickly overtook and got passed by one very fast bike just before the midpoint stop. It really was great driving weather.The drive from there to Narbethong (sp???) was pretty boring as we got stuck behind a train of cars.Stopped there and had a quick bite to eat and then came back once again getting stuck behind a very ambitious nissan pulsar driver that semed to think cutting the corner going round a blind hairpin was a great idea before nearly getting cleaned up by a 4X4 and caravan.No matter how close I got up him he just wouldn't pull into the slow traffic pullout and overtaking was not an option as the roads were getting busier by the minute.Sorry I didn't take any pics either.It was great to see other forum members and put faces and real names to usernames.Next time will probably head down the Great Ocean Road and hopefully have a far better turnout.CHeersJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cruise would have been alot better if the traffic was a bit better, altho James we would have lost you through the twisty bits hahaha.. who ever said T's were only quick on straights...I cant get over the flutter hahaha it goes on for ages.. I think ill chuck a pod on soon and see what effect that has on the sound, and maybe a smaller hole etc... Cheers Mike.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad that didn't come 5 hours ago.CheersJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be your 5 extra years of experience As for custom tuned, you can blame my valve springs for that.Looked like it was gonna rain for much of the day... very luckily it held out.. we wouldnt have been able to do some of those interesting overtaking maneuvers hehehe...

'Interesting overtaking maneuvers'..... It was like watching that video game 'Frogger'. Nice cruise though. Less traffic woulda been nice. Hey Mike, I'm thinking a POD for mine too. Let me know how it sounds.I have to leave the house with the internet now.... *Sigh*PEACE! Alex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
