A typical Victorian Summer-Sunday....time to hit the hills for some cool and shady stuff...
Ant, Squiz and lateron Goodie from Tanjil Bren onwards, tagged along for a little pearler.


Latrobe River State Park :)
...where Ant lost his numberplate along the thick and bumpy gravel

Thanks for the ride today Pete, and Ant & Goodie for the company. Largest bike there today was 650cc, and we all had fun. Hope you got home ok Ant. It got a bit warm on the way home, but still an excellent day. Cheers Ian

Thanks all for the company and laughs, another good one in the bag.
And while the morning the fresh, the going was good.
There was a good choice of roads and tracks going everywhere on the other side of the LaTrobe River bridge....pick one :)

Another plus, the absence of that thick layer of marbly gravel !
The replacement washed out and lumpy, bumpy clay richly veined with ditches, runnels, ruts going any which way, broken by the occasional deep drainage cut diagonally across enough dead timber for a year of campfires was certainly entertaining :)

Back on smooth-top on the Willow Grove Rd.

Catching up with Goodie along the way....

Nothing much in Victoria beats the BawBaw Rd. for sheer "tight+twisty" over a single ~50km stretch

A "plate"-less Hima
LOVE the sound of the factory pipe on that bike when it steamed up the last steep bits to BawBaw Village. Not too heavy, not too light....just RIGHT.
This is how a 4-Stroke Single should sound :2thumbs-up:

MTB downhill track where the old village-connect chairlift used to be. Not a bad view, either.

What goes up, must come down :)
What the hell is it with Ian and that DRZ that just makes for THE best and most memorable action-shots....
thinking back over the years, there's quite a number of them.

Max. zoom across a gully made it a bit fuzzy....Noojee backroad.

Thanks again everyone and great to hear Ant made it home without getting pulled over without the plate.

New plates acquired and affixed with nyloc nuts this time!

For those who are curious, you can't order replacement MC plates online, you have to front up to Vicroads but it was a quick and painless transaction, $19. Vicroads are much better these days for attending to different types of requests - I got a ticket for replacement plates and only waited five minutes.
