A glorious morning with a good turn out at Catalano's including Bowe on a R69S. Good to see Herman back on a bike and Sprocket putting in an appearance.

After consulting the BOM Radar it was decided to head north west to minimise conflict with rain. Ross, Ted, Peter, Vic, Wes, Bozo and Swampy revisited Campersic Road, O'Brien Road and Berry Road before crossing paths with two motorcycle Police. A shortcut on Sandplain Road got us on to Julimar Road to reach an absolutely packed Bindoon Bakehaus with more Indians than cowboys. Adding to the atmosphere were regular swarms of military personnel.

Wes and Vic were engaged in a techo battle about inverters and batteries. Wes pulled up a live image of rain falling on his driveway. Vic pulled up a live feed of the status of his power generation and demand.

There was a chance that we could get back to Perth without precipitation (but not to Armadale). A diversion down Blue Plains Road and a dry run through the Chittering Valley and the ride finished at Bullsbrook with an ominous backdrop. BOM confirmed that it was PDIA (raining heavily in Armadale) and that the White Whale would get its second wash for the week.

Thanks to Swampy for running tail end Charlie.


Bozo

Thanks for the great ride today Bozo and yes the White Whale went through several Wash and Rinse Cycles before I got it back under cover at home!!

Anyway it was a good excuse to give it another shampoo and set at home and it's now ready for next weeks trip

Swampy

Thanks Bozo for a great ride and we missed all the rain except for 5 mins on the Roe Highway. Thanks Swampy for TEC duties again. Great company, great ride, what more could you ask for for?
