Hit my standard route, Swan Valley for a cuppa with my good friend in the "Cottage Tea House" or something. When I say "good friend", I mean "casual acquaintance". But the tea is damn good ... Damn, damn good.
Today I got lots of nods back from other riders. I passed the PSB guys doing their Country Ride and got a few nods there. And some old lady on a massive scooter, in Yanchep - I nodded and she just looked so happy, she nodded back like 3 times with a beaming smile. God bless her! At her age, she probably doesn't have too long left before a fatal crash. At least I brought some sunshine into her final days ...
Then along the highways to Gosnells to visit my sister. Having a garage sale. Brilliant. Little Gosnells "boganites" running around with rat's tails and no shoes. Not buying anything of course. Just infesting the place with their stench.
Then back north, and west to the coast. Hit Hillarys to grab another burger at my favourite, "Australia's Finest Burgers". Unfortunately, every table was full, probably due to my recent 5 out of 5 review of this place. So I just urinated and left. In the carpark were lots of Harley Davidsons. I revved my Honda 250 as I pulled out. I don't think they even heard me ...
Then hit the Mindarie for a spot of lunch with the D-Man (The Boat, reviewed last post).
Then up along Marmion to Yanchep. Nice little beach cafe. I parked next to 3 other 250's but couldn't find the rider's. I had a Choc-Honeycomb Supershake which is the best type of flavoured milk around. I can usually inhale these things in about 4 swallows. Brilliant. If you haven't tried it, I recommend it.
Then back along Wanneroo Road to home. Good little run, nice weather, 200km's of pleasure. Just wish I had a faster bike now.

[Bike] Sunday cruise, nod trouble
Nice little ride through the Swan Valley this morning. Cup of tea at a little cottage place. I was going to stop at the Chocolate Factory but it's always busy.
I gave 9 nods out to passing riders today, and only got 2 nods in return. Ridiculous. I even got snubbed by a SCOOTER rider! I mean, we're not even supposed to nod at these kids! I went out of my way to extend some courtesy to a stranger on a lower-class vehicle by nodding my head slightly, and he can't even be bothered to do the same.
Anyway, then I hit Scarborough to enjoy the slow windy road and all the ladies jogging along the path. Fantastic as always. I even got a smile from a lovely brunette as I purred past, one hand resting on the tank, squinting my eyes into the sun sexily. I was almost tempted to point my finger at her like the Fonz as I cruised past. She was loving it! When the G-Force takes hold of you, well ... I can be quite irresistible.
Then Hillarys for a burger at Australia's Finest Burgers. Delicious! Will probably do something similar every Sunday from now on. I must say, there is something to be said for riding alone. You can stop wherever you want, leave when you want, and ride at the speed you want.
Oh and also, this morning, I washed the bike after spilling the fuel over it yesterday. Then I started my trip by filling up, and yet again spilled fuel all over the front of the bike. I nearly cried. Rode straight back home again, washed again, and back on the road. The great thing about having a ride on a Sunday is, you've got all day. No rush, no reason to get home, no particular route to follow. Just the wind in your hair, power at your fingertips, and smooth roads ahead! (The helmet stops the wind, my bike has no power, and the roads are generally quite uneven and rough).
Keep cruisin'!
