Went down thru Kyogle, Casino, Grafton, Nymboida to Armidale. From there to Uralla and down Thunderbolt way to Gloucester. From there to Dungog and around Maitland to Putty road. Around the back of Sydney to Picton then picked up the Hume to Goulburn and then on to Canberra. Funny thing was went I got home I found an overdue rego payment for the T500...so I had ridden all the way with no rego.
Unfortunately the old girl blew a crank seal at Singleton and had to be shipped home. Found out that the previous repairer that replaced the seals had broached the left crank pin when he pressed it in. Also found an imminent failure of the left gudgeon pin due to a bad bearing. It is currently all being repaired by a very good crank man here in Brisbane and should be back on the road in a couple of weeks. Still waiting from Honda as to the date of repair on the CB1100.
