Hanging Rock Ride Summary 24/3/2012:

I got Saturday off work and according to the weather forecast it was going to be a glorious day, Perfect combination, My curiosity + perfect weather = good ride.

I was down the servo before daybreak and hit the road.

I had a little Accident at Hanging Rock, sort of took the shine of the day a little, dropped the GTR on some loose gravel causing superficial damage,

Bent right driving light bracket, driving light still works.

Some decent scratches on the right side mirror, went back into place and did not break.

A small hole from landing on a stone in the right side bottom skirt with the bottom corner cracked.

Mid right cowling and right front section copped some decent scratches.

Considering I went down on a slope and slid a bit the damage was minimal.....Could have been a lot worse.

Bikes riding fine, does not have that new look at least for a little while anyway.

I plotted a course for roads I had not riden before, however I did cut it short and slipped back onto the New England Hwy and headed for home after the drop with a total of 676.6km for the day.

Overall a bloody good ride, and a big thumbs up
