ride - dungog loop

What a blast to mount a classic oldschool thumper and hit the backgrounds.  
My little pillion and i went to dungog via thalaba, stopped for a snack,  then returned via bingleburra. Great routes for a cruising bike but  too many dodgy bits for a sporty cruising. Classic fun.  
Lessons learned today:-.
 * unlike years ago motorcyclists don't wave. 
* a little rain is no problem. 
* car drivers are pricks.
* truck drivers are arseholes.
* you don't need bakery items,  or coffee, on a trip to enjoy it 
* 80kph is fine for me. 
* don't pull over for cars that sit on your arse, they will only use it as an opportunity to run you right off the road. 
* the Dungog library has been massively expanded in size,  but still doesn't open on Fridays,  even on school holidays.

Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

mass political deception

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
