The CB1100 Community Forum

Last Thursday rode to Tidal River in the Wilsons Promontory national park, the rain set in half way between Sale and Yarram Yarram so stopped in front of Pubs Four Parts Shop for a cup of tea and donned the wet weather trousers. Pud restores CB750's and he does nice work. With the odd detour the leg from home to Tidal River was about 240 km (150 miles). In time for a bite to eat and a cuppa. The ride home took me through Foster, Port Welshpool and back to Yarram Yarram when I dropped in to Puds shop he talked about modifying a CB1100 with Whitehouse kit and give it that CB750 look. I keep an eye on his shop window he always has nice 70's wheels to dream about in time to come perhaps something slightly more modern. I had to push on as I did not want to be on the South Gippsland Highway at dusk, its a Kangaroo impact thing. Noticed that the Omega tower is still standing it is the tallest structure in the Southern Hemisphere (427m-1401 feet) and is scheduled for demolition. Last year a base jumper died when his parachute failed . Two tanks of fuel 500 km (315 miles)and at home then brewed a pot of tea. Managed to keep my jocks and sock dry, just.

No camera. Next time.

Anybody that rides in the rain and drinks hot tea is top notch in my book. Sounds like a mini adventure and I imagine hitting a roo would not be a pleasant experience. I think they carry as much or more weight than our whitetails.

Omega tower, wow. There is a good video of some lads on top of the Omega tower in Liberia. The tower has since been taken down. Omega towers are very tall! But GPS made them absolute.
