Ulysses Melbourne

At last, a report on the ride up to Warwick as well as a short summary of the return.

Eight of us turned up to enjoy Roger’s ride today after obtaining the appropriate leave passes.  There was a disturbingly high percentage of BMWs in attendance though! 

Andrew (Yamaha) and I (Honda) were hopelessly outnumbered by 5 Bavarians and a Triumph.
The ride was naturally “bookended” with Roger leading on his K1300

Over a dozen of us started from Lilydale this morning including "first timer" Rob

and four more met us at Bunyip.
The traffic and weather gods were nice to us and it was nice to have a sit down lunch together.
I believe the return ride via some more of the South Gippsland hills and Kernot went well  and somehow the group got somewhat disjointed once we joined the Bass Highway! 

Despite getting lost twice I will add a story about Andrew's ride today.  
There was a great turn out for Andrew’s ride to Seymour and I will comment on several of the people and bikes I saw as we assembled.
David had his lovely Z900 Kawasaki,

Gary was on his new BMW RS, Mike was on his Yamaha MT 07, Vince on a new Triumph 850.  Andrew's Yamaha and Stewart’s Valkyrie were extraordinary contrasts in red
