Bike Life: Riding to Royal National Park 07/10/2015
One aspect that I appreciate about these larger social motorcycle nights is that it provides an outlet for people to let their hair down and, just for a moment, to forget about the responsibilities and stress that comes standard with a modern working lifestyle. These groups also provide a social enclave where people can feel that they belong to a community, and I can only see that as a positive when the sole purpose of it all is to simply enjoy life on two wheels.
Later in the next few weeks, I will be meeting up with Kevin and Steven Lam, the twin-brother founders of Sydney West Riders, to discuss about the beginnings, developments and the future of this continually-growing social motorcycle group, which has now reached 4000 members in its 3 years as a group. Stay tuned to read more about this, next month!
Sydney West Riders meet at Hungry Jacks in Cabramatta, in Sydney’s south-west suburbs, every Wednesday at 7:30pm, pending good weather conditions.
Arrived at Hungry Jacks Cabramatta, 7:30pm with a solid group already present.
MSR – Melbourne Street Riders represent?
Start-of-ride addressing of safety and ride info.
BMW HP4. An immaculate machine, with an equally awesome number plate (unfortunately cannot be shown due to privacy reasons)
Adam amongst the crew at the 1st stop, in McDonalds Engadine.
A learner-friendly group, with a high proportion of riders generally between the ages of 18-25 years old. A youthful social riding group.
Adam’s got new tyres for tomorrow’s MotoDNA trackday, so tonight would be a good opportunity to get those rubbers scrubbed in.
Me and my trusty baby.
At the Bald Hill Lookout in the Royal National Park.
Can’t get enough of the Beemer..!
In the pitch black of darkness. Who else decides to meet up in the middle of nowhere, late at night?
The siblings… R1 and the R15.
Got hungry after coming back up from the Nasho, so Adam and I got a bonanza of a Maccas dinner box. Fair to say, I don’t think I want to ever bite into another McDonalds meal ever…
… but McDonalds stands as the mighty go-to venue for late-night ride meets… because it’s more likely, than not, to be the only eatery that’s open within the ride route vicinity…
Going back home, via Liverpool, travelling along Heathcote Road… an easy set of open twisties. No need to break the speed limit here to enjoy it, as long as roadworks don’t hold us up.
