On Wednesday my club had a run through the Adelaide Hill. I took my helmet cam but again it didn't work. So you will just have to use your imagination.
It was a hot day at 100f and I thought there may not be many turn up for the ride. Wrong.... There would have been 12 bike's ready to roll.There was all makes and models represented. The only other older was a old BMW about a 1985. But there was one bike under a 650 and that was my 1980 CB250 RS.
Well kick stands were up at 10:30 and the ride begins. My Honda 250 is right in it's element in the hill. It is not all about HP when you are in the hills with all the twisties. A Honda 250 single cly that weighs just 270 lbs dripping wet that has 26 hp will have a good showing. And with a light weight ride with experience
will do very well thank you very much. And that is how it played out. Mind you I had that little bike pegged most of the time.
We road for 2 hrs before we had a lunch stop. I had so much fun with the knees down and hanging off it in the corner. We keeped up with those big bikes and at one point when passing a truck I had it wound right up to 140km/hr. Well I will see if I can find a photo of my 250 for those that have not see it.
