Harrow FarRoad Ride

Registered and looking forward to riding roads not travelled before.

Looking forward to seeing you!!

I've changed my bike from what I registered with. Now riding a ZZR600 with 133,000km. I'm not doing a certified ride, so it shouldn't matter.   A may have another rider tagging along too.
Hopefully I can make this one, as the my last attempt was to Temora. The VFR didn't like the wet unsealed roadworks on the Monaro Hwy.  A repairable write off, but with 103,000km I let it go.
Looking forward to meeting you all.

You have to scroll across the screen from memory to see the register button. Its easier on a computer. Look forward to seeing you there.

Just got back from the Harrow ride. Left home at 04:00, local servo for docket, Adelaide, SE FWY, Tailem Bend, Pinnaroo, Bordertown, Frances, into Victoria to Harrow via Edenhope.

Great meet up for lunch, told some war stories of LD riding etc, all headed off approx 13:00 local time. I continued south to Casterton and all the way back along the SA/Vic border on the Vic side back to Frances with a quick loop trough Minimay. back into Bordertown and then home.

Irode 1000 done and dusted with 1095 kms done for the day.  Great ride, great people and conversation, couple of new faces and great to catch up with Grey Gentry Ron after many years on Marls's old ZZR600.

thanks Taffey for the organise and check in, good day all round

Just a quick check in to thank Large for the lovely review and letting us know he was home safe and sound. ZigZag and I are still on tour with what is shaping up to be a wet chase of the Overland back from Melbourne to Adelaide.

It was a great conversation about times past and times future and I look forward to 2026 with some new ideas to try out while keeping absolutely true to the original Davo concept.

Cheers
Taffey

PS Thanks Dave for letting me you were home last night, I hasten to add...

Very enjoyable catch up at The Hermitage Hotel Harrow. All the better for the humour of the woman behind the bar.

 Thanks to Taffey for the organisation and to everyone who came along. Looking forward to the next one.

Next Harrow ride could be the "Harrow MoFo" ride.

Well, in the immortal words of Meatloaf, Two out of Three Ain't Bad.
I left Crafers Friday morning at 12.33pm for a destination of the Werrimull pub that evening via Tailem Bend, Karoonda, Lameroo, Pinnaroo, Paruna, Allawoona, Kingston on Murray, Monash and Renmark. A total of some 560 odd kilometres. The Warrimull pub was excellent, beer a very reasonable $6:50/ Coopers Pale and the meal was likewise very affordable and good. It was meat tray raffle night of coarse and I don't think I've ever been in a pub with 11 meat trays up for grabs on the night.
Bright and early (but not early enough) I rose and headed to Harrow via Redcliffs, Ouyen, Rainbow, Jeparit and Nhill.
It was just out of Nhill that I received a call from Taffy asking if I was on the way. Indeed I said, check in is 12 to 12:30 isn't it? Ummm, no, it's 11.30 to 12 noon.
Oh, well I'll be seeing you for lunch then - a little late. Bugger.
Now, where does Meatloaf come into this (and it wasn't on the menu). I achieved the 1000km in 24hrs (tick), I got to Harrow in my 24hr window (tick), achieving both within the correct time period (bugger).
I'm looking forward to the next challenge and promise I will be a little more observant wrt the rules.
Catching up with fellow riders at Harrow was the highlight and congratulations to Taffey for an excellent destination. Far, far superior to Port Wakefield
