Weather was cooler today, so I decided to go for a casual ride, did a bit of an reconnaissance somewhere I thought may involve gravel so I checked it out, consequently turned around and went the normal way. Stopped for an afternoon refreshment and enjoyed my day. Spotted a beautiful blonde on a Monster who paid me no mind unfortunately, anyway, that's why we have beer.

Great photos, and looked like a nice day out. I like the beer in the foreground of the last photo too!

As a side note, I wanted the same number plate in VIC for my 998 FE but it was already taken. Still unsure what custom plate to put on it as everything I try is already taken in Victoria.

Anyone got suggestions?

Cheers, only Iphone snaps.

The whole time I am taking them I have a members advice telling me rule of thirds, and I said f that here's my thirds or quarters whatever?

Personal #plates are a wank, who really cares except the owner

How about TS 999, or 998 FE, or TESTA or TESTRA

Looks like a nice day for a ride.
On the plate issue... my wanky plates are NINE-96

Sorry, seems I am hijacking this thread now, but the Aussie area is a quiet part of the forum...

Here in Vic there are two types, and the formats are below.

Wont fit the format: NINE-98, 998FE, TESTRA
Taken: TS 999, TS 998, FE-998, GC-998, TESTA

PERSONAL
AA.000 to ZZ.999
1A.1AA to 1Z.9ZZ

CUSTOM
AAA to ZZZZZ
AAA.0 to ZZZZ.9
AAA.00 to ZZZ.99
0.AAA to 9.ZZZZ
00.AAA to 99.ZZZ

So in the end I think I will get a standard one for the moment and then if I can find a good one that is available I will add it later.

Unless you have any more suggestions???

I was keen to get CAZ20 but they have made custom plates financially beyond my grasp.
My last bike was a blue SV650 with blue plates, I think there was a one off charge to have them made of around $30, now its $110.
Just looked, CAZ20 is now taken , just as well $110+annual fee

Meanwhile, back at Craig's ride thread..

Some rather special roads up your way. Particularly those like the Oxley that run over the range from the coast.

The Gwydir from Glen Innes north of you is a favourite. I'm sure you'd be familiar with it..

Not much traffic as a rule.

Lovely..

Thanks Pat, yes the roads are good, but Glen Innes is about two hours north via the highway, so not much fun in that.

The Oxley is a favourite but the Police like it too
