Riding in hail is never fun.

 

Like been assualted by an angry dwarf with a little ball peen hammer.

 

Makes snow and black ice seem like fun-almost.

Snow is OK till it freezes. ICE is BAD. Black ice is Impossible. A frosted wooden Bridge is a mighty Challenge.  Add spilled diesel on a roundabout with a Pillion on. It's amazing how strong one's leg can be. Nev

Stopped in Huonville after an excellent ride around the Channel - Margate through to Cygnet. Barely any traffic and a gorgeous afternoon.

Coming over a rise after Gordon, there's nothing but water in front with a fishing boat coming in and the Hartz mountains in the background - absolutely stunning.

I could bore you all with another commute.. not much different to the last ones, except that I followed fast bikes and not fast cars. 

 

Other than that, my last ride was the ride-on mower. Bloody three hours today and only 1/3 of the place done. It is cooling here.. only 14 degrees c today... but the wind kept the grass (and Dandelions) dry.. But, the grass has rebounded after the summer's dryness and is as thick as treacle.

A ride is still a ride. Every ride counts. Even if you're not doing it for the scenery.

 

Instead of riding, I went e-shopping. I found a NOS stator in US..... priced a bit out of my range. $1600, (plus $86 shipping).  However there is a US supplier selling chinese copies. Being a poor lowly pensioner, I'll get one of those. For $120 plus $20 shipping. 

The joys of old (ish) machines.

That's a bargain, hope it works as well.

Last weekend I took Friday off, we deserted the kids (hey the eldest is 18 so there was theoretically an adult in the house) and the missus and I went to Swansea.

I took the bike and she took the EV - strange, I know, but with Tassie you need to be prepared for any weather.

As it was I was rained on every day of the weekend, but there was enough fine weather between the showers to make it worthwhile.

We rode into Coles Bay on Saturday, had an excellent lunch and dropped in to Devil's Corner vineyard on the way back.

On the way home the main tank ran dry 40km from Richmond. I wasn't too concerned because my wife was somewhere nearby, but as it was the reserve got me there.

I was taking it very easy on the wet corners - but even so, at one point I touched the rear brake and felt the back end give a little. From then on I took it even easier.

Very relaxing weekend!
