Muswellbrook to the Ulysses AGM

From Muswellbrook in to Newcastle isn't a very inspiring ride. Lots of small towns and traffic and this Saturday morning was election day in NSW so everyone was out.

We took a couple of hours to get in to the city.

I noticed, pulled up behind a shiny car, that I only had one headlamp working so when we got to where the Ulysses AGM was being held, we spied a Honda dealer. In we went to find they were all out of headlamp bulbs. Not surprising I suppose seeing as there were a couple of thousand motorcyclist staying across the road fr the week.

Next door was Triumph shop, so we went in and sure enough they had one.

The next few hours were spent meeting up with mates. Everywhere we turned there was another familiar face.

In to the Maccas across the road for a bit of breakfast and a chinwag. Lots of people there.

After an hour or so it was a very short ride - 600 metres - to where the actual meeting was being held. There was a little confusion before we were allowed in and the meeting eventually got under way.

We came out to find it raining. Luckily we had put the cover on the bike to protect our helmets and jackets.

A quick look at the radar showed it would be raining up the east coast and probably along the Bucketts/Thunderbolts roads, so we retraced our path to the New England Highway.

We got through the lousy bit and still had plenty of sunlight and so pressed on and arrived at Tamworth just as it got dark.

A great day meeting up, albeit briefly, with many great folk.
