Day 1 Home to Goondiwindi

An easy day today so I left home at a leisurely hour. I had only 360km to do.
I even had enough fuel to make it there but decided to do a fuel stop at Warwick just to see how quickly i could do it.
Pull in, switch to accessories so the GPS doesn't go off.
Open tank with spare key
Fuel up
Enter details on Iphone app
In to office to pay and grab a drink
Back out on the bike - helmet on
Gone in under five minutes.

A loo stop would take a few minutes more but that isn't every stop.

I arrived at Goondi well before the others and set up the computer to watch them come in. Two have SPOTs just like me.
Eddie and Grumpy arrived first on their Yamaha FJR1300, then a call from Trevor who was lost in town. Quick directions and he turned up on the Kawasaki GTR1400.
About half an hour later Tack arrived on the Honda ST1100 and we were all here.

Tomorrow we get serious about riding. We are keeping an eye on the weather but it seems OK for now.
