What a great days cruising and catching up with friends :thumbsup:

Out the front of my place before we left, HaylZ, Fate and Addoor stayed Sat night while 1turbostillfun, ZBOOST & Kylie and Tim turned up in the morning to take the National Park run with us up to the meet point.


Rolling into 'Bald Hill' at Stanwell Tops for a coffee and catch up.

Nearly got there but shredded a rear tyre on the way

I left Canberra at 07:00 and got as far as the Picton Rd turn-off (off the Hume Hwy) - about 250 km when my RHS rear tyre started flapping. I don't know how long it had been flat but was OK when I stopped at Sutton's Forest Maccas for coffee not all that long beforehand. I limped back home on the space-saver spare at 80 kph.

As you can see in the pic below the side wall of the tyre is cut, presumably by the rim once the tyre had gone flat. I am at a loss to understand why it went flat and am surprised that I didn't notice anything earler. Anyway the rim will need to be re-rolled and a new pair of 285s purchased and fitted - ouch to the hip pocket.



Red arrow shows dent now in rim. Green arrows show where the tyre was shredding with holes clear through the side wall.

So, I had a round trip over over 500 kms with no cruize but glad it was a success anyway. :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Peter

 

niceee pics, that camelian zed isnt "myz'sbetter" is it??

looks like the zed his avatar...


MANI LOVE ONI'S BONNET.. SOOOO TOUGH

 

No ,belongs to

Adrian, (Aadoor):thumbsup:

 

Unlucky Peter

Must have looked odd with that pencil thin tyre on the god father.:wacko:
Nice to catch up with fellow Zeders' as always.
Nice people, nice view and plenty of parking,
but the cafe scene
wasn't quite as 'hot' as last time.
Bring on summer time.

 

80kph on a space-saver... been there, got the T-shirt

Isn't it a BLOODY BORING way to travel Peter? Glad it went down all square (no rim puns intended) and didn't send you off the road.

 

re:sydney to gong cruise

it was so good to meet up with all u zedders even tho i was in a commodore.. garunteed next cruie i will have mah baby out on the road.. im thinkin bout a cruise to newcastle post back if interested...

 

Yep Doug Boring as Batshit

Got passed by semis, cars towing caravans, coaches, motor scooters, cyclists, rickshaws, marathon runners ....

Glad it was only 250 kms. Must admit I didn't realise what a PITA it would have been for you at Coona.

Anyway, all's well that ends well. At least my space saver was fully inflated as I topped it up before Coona.

Cheers,

Peter

 

Start a new thread in "coming events"

Re: Cruise

Great ot hear you guys had a great cruise!!! Heard that the pigs were at it again down south, handing out permanent parking tickets and caught a whole bunch of cars with defects:thumbsdown:

Thought of all you guys when heard it, but after seeing the pics well words don't do justice

P.s: Peter mate, my condolences

 

Cool Cruise

Nice adventure =) wish we all had more time on our hands to to it more frequently !!

Im now starting to get to know all you guys better and im proud to have you as my zed friends, couldnt ask for a better crowd, such genuine people :thumbsup:

Thanks guys... It still means a lot to me, to be "allowed" to come on these awesome cruises with you all... Thanks Again. :thumbsup:

 

WHAT A WEEKEND :thumbsup:SYD CREW KNOW HOW TO DO IT!!!!:thumbsup:

THANK YOU !!!!!

Was seriously one of the best weekends i've had EVER:thumbsup:

Coonabarabran was great, but the thought of going Months without meeting up with you all again was something I wasn't willing to let happen.

Sydney streets take a little getting used to, but WOW what fun :thumbsup:

HUGE THANKS TO HAYLZ AND TIM (Haylz PSA) :thumbsup: For letting me stay with you and for putting up with me over the weekend. It's GREAT to finally be able to put images to the names such as "KRISPY KREME" Or "PANCAKES ON THE ROCKS" :thumbsup:

WHAT A GREAT WEEKEND:thumbsup:

Another HUGE THANKZ To Caz For letting me stay over on Saturday night as well:thumbsup:

Was a weekend not to be forgotten.



NOW FOR THE CRUISE WOW WOW WOW!!!

What great views. The roads may be a little bumpy, and traction hard to find for some (ZBOOST) :thumbsup: :LOL:

BUT DAMN WHAT A VIEW!!!!

After a couple of cars (HaylZ 2+2 and Tim's ASOLUTELY HOTT CANDY RED SUBARU) decided to take the scenic route IE: went the wrong way:LOL:

We came through the national park only to find there had been an accident including a motorcycle:thumbsdown: NOT A PRETTY SIGHT!

With the sad part out of the way. SOME DAMN SEXY ZEDS YUMMMMM!!! That Yellow Ozz 300 was enough to take my breath away:thumbsup:

I consider all of you like FAMILY Can't wait to hop a plane and fly down again REALLY SOON:thumbsup:

Couldn't find a better bunch of people if you tried I have to say:thumbsup:

THANK YOU VERY VERY VERY MUCH!!!:thumbsup:

Etaf...

 

AND .... ????? ...AND ....??????? ...AND ..??????

 

Got the Bread, Got the Milk and we even got the "FRESHER EGGS":LOL:

 

Batshit would have been exciting!

Yeah, 300+km @ 80kph. Fortunately there were some road works where the speed limit was 40kph, so we could keep up with the other Vics. But then it went back to normal highway speeds, and, byebye!
The really bad bit was when we (Baroo in front on the spare) got passed by a busload of schoolkids. Jeez, my middle finger got some exercize then!
Thank (The God of Your Choice) for energy drinks.

 

Howdy All

Just wanted to thank everyone for turning up and of course attempting to turn up... It was an awsome day and the weather was nice to us for the majority of the day...

Fate Mate - hehe... It was nice to finally meet you dude... Your alot smaller than i expected hahahhaa, but thats not a bad thing mate...

Glad you had a good time dude... hope to see you round the traps really soon.. You were speaking about coming down in the next couple of weeks.. If this is the case then we will head up north for you mate..

There are some really nice areas that you would enjoy, with some really flat roads and long too..

To the rest what can i say.. What a beautiful day, what a beautiful bunch and what a beutiful cruise...

It was a bloody awsome day I... i will arrange for another in a couple of weeks....

thanks once again

Terry & Anna

 

Awesome Cruise

Had an excellent cruise through the national park and along the coast road down to woolongong. It was great to get out and see some other zeds and talk to some people who have "been there, done that" and can help out with dilemnas, problems and ideas that you might have for your zed. Nice bunch of people and an all round great day. Looking forward to the next one.
