Thanks for showing us some of the great countryside. Keep up the good work !

[@ridewithwarro]

Thanks, will do!

[@findingneutral]

Fun ride along. Perfect looking weather for it. Thanks for sharing the neat sites.

[@ridewithwarro]

You bet. was a pretty good run out that way today. bit hot in areas but cooled down later on in the day. all the best!

[@copper6600]

Thanks for the interesting ride Warro, hope to see more ride safe 🍀🍀🍀

[@ridewithwarro]

forgot to carry my onboard camera mount on this clip so no actual ride footage but something to salvage was better than a zero...lol

[@kennethheldreich6604]

Lovely ride out in the sunshine mate,it's done nothing but poor down with rain over here, 🙂👍🏍🇬🇧🌞

[@ridewithwarro]

actually pretty hot out that way today. i bet it was around the 28c mark.

[@splodge5714]

Nice tour. Nothing like a bit of culture.😊

[@ridewithwarro]

all good there but i actually forgot my camera mount so no ride footage

[@stevetaylor9265]

That sculpture looks like a good place to change the motor in your truck. Put a chain fall at the top and have at it

[@ridewithwarro]

anything is possible. looks pretty hi-strength too

[@stevesanelli90]

That Wellington sculpture was made from the broken section of the Wellington Bridge truck accident in 1989. I’d say fairly significant. A few people died as a result. That looks to be a great round excursion Warro! Kinda reminds me I need to get out more for longer gentle trips on the Classic too! I read a few Banjo Paterson poems & novels in my time at school & trekked around the snowies too. Road an adventure bike along the Burke & Wills trails to the dig tree too🇦🇺

[@ridewithwarro]

1989 eh! i recall that day. i was just returning from a fishing trip from warren and they had the road closed at geurie and there was a bypass set up to wellington. after that accident the bridge was out of action for quite some time too wasnt a bad run today. i had plan to run the camera but forgot the handlebar mounts so it was a no go there. bit warm out today too and probably hotter still where you ventured

[@JoeC88]

@@ridewithwarro That oversize load ripping down Wellington bridge caused a hell of a ....storm, and the RTA had only just taken over from the DMR at the time.

[@ridewithwarro]

@@JoeC88 in the old days it was a pretty good looking period style bridge too. crossed it many times too. in fact the day it took the heavy hit i had passed over it that same morning on a regular fishing day out to duck creek via nyngan and over to warren. on return journey road was blocked and deverted the traffic from geurie into wellington

[@ridewithwarro]

@@JoeC88 yeah i recall that incident. passed over that bridge on that exact day. out on a fishing trip to nyngan

[@chrisweeks6973]

That's a nice meander around the district, Warro. 👍Modern art's very much a personal thing; generally speaking, it doesn't do a great deal for me. On the other hand, the Enfield looks real good!

[@ridewithwarro]

thanks. it was a nice 3.5 hour run including the filming. working on the suzuki vstrom 250 sx today. just put up a clip fitting the saddle bag mounts. crash bar clip up next

[@ruahinesrider]

350 looking good Warro.

[@ridewithwarro]

yeah i must fit the sump guard shortly. its been there in the packaging for several months

[@JoeC88]

@@ridewithwarro .. and fit the ape hangars 🤣

[@ridewithwarro]

@@JoeC88 could end up being "easywarro".....lol

[@JoeC88]

@@ridewithwarro Easywarro 🤣🤣 That is Damn Hilarious. A few years ago I saw two almost identical easyrider type Harleys Eastbound on the Gwydir Hwy heading to Grafton from Glen Innes ! Earlier the same day I saw a Burt Reynolds Pontiac Firebird copy on the New England, the driver wearing a cowboy hat ! I just needed to see the Black Widows from every which way but loose cruise past.

[@ridewithwarro]

@@JoeC88 that would be a good laugh there

[@iainwilson3191]

Not a big fan of those sculptures but the Enfield is looking good

[@ridewithwarro]

totally agree. those sculptures are not that exciting to look at

[@MrMomo182]

Wellington, where 'ice' is cheaper than beer, they say. I went up to Cessnock and back on the Bullet yesterday. About 260kms round trip, back at 8pm in the dark. Lots of dead wombats on the roadside, sad and scary. I hear Wombeyan Caves are open again, and Jenolan Caves road is open again too. I should make a big loop of them before it gets frosty. Are Wellington Caves any good? It would be 600+kms round trip from Sydney.

[@ridewithwarro]

the cathedral cave is huge inside but overall a long way behind the jenolan. river cave especially as its the best around

[@jonathandeeley6276]

Much prefer the Classic 350 to the Honda GB 350, love mine in Halcyon Black..🙂👍

[@ridewithwarro]

classic 350 certainly looks and rides classic...lol all the best!

[@daintree2455]

No birds nests in that spiky sculpture Warro...wonder why haha

[@ridewithwarro]

yes indeed. a lot of thought went into that venture

[@dondle2]

Whoever built that chime sculpture must have been smoking too much weed.

[@ridewithwarro]

maybe...lol not sure if it was donated or not but i dought if they actually paid good $$$ for it. i think the alpaca was the best part of todays trip. if it was one ...not sure there.

[@stephenmundane]

I think it's a Llama Warro -- banana ears, long snout are the tell-tale signs. Thanks for bringing us along on your ride-out.

[@ridewithwarro]

@@stephenmundane either way not what one would call a local...lol and sort of cute too...lol all the best!

[@stephensmith1118]

i think you may need to eat a few more pies... that may help with padding and comfort... but the top speed may suffer a little... have fun

[@ridewithwarro]

yeah and possibly maybe...lol seat is good rear shocks not so. on the other 350 i ran 500 rear shocks. much better ride. i may have to do that side again. cheap mod and works better. all the best!

The chap that made the statue, out the front of the museum, sadly passed away on 2 days before the unveiling of the statue. He did an impressive job. The only time I’ve been in the museum was when I was involved with Sydney to Dubbo Zoo2zoo ride (bicycle). I’ve ridden it 3 times but this day, only rode out from Dubbo to meet the riders for the last bit. There is a lot of war memorabilia in there. Also a full length leather coat that He used to wear. We recited the riding poem of his while we were in there having a smoko break. There is a lot of history in the caves if you ever want to venture down there. The Phosphate mine surprised me the most with the history angle. Well worth the visit. Did you enjoy the “animals on bikes” along Banjo Paterson way?

[@ridewithwarro]

i did. next time out there i might take my camera and snap a few photos on bike transport. back in the late 60's or roughly 1970 that kiosk area was loaded with aboriginal artifacts. i still recall some-one had returned a aboriginal artifact called "the bone" to that place and the person had scribbled a note saying they had nothing but bad luck since obtaining it. may or may not happened i dont know. was only about 18 i think when i saw that there dont know what happened to all that stuff never checked out that phosphate mine - not sure now if the birds and animals are still there either it was a bit late when i went through so maybe next trip out that way
