Coming from North Perth either departure point is fine for me - I'm happy to fit in with the majority vote. Has anyone confirmed with the Armadale departees if they are happy to have some Perth Old F*rts travel with them? Promise no beans for brekkie on the day.

The Armadale folk always welcome Perth ring-ins. But I think JayGee was posting that some Perth people will be there anyway. John?

Anyway, an Armadale departure is fine with me too. So why don't we just meet up at the Armadale departure point for the 9 am start.

The Armadale start point is here (click).

A few Perth branch members were planning to depart from Armadale
at 9am on Sunday morning, so this would be a good venue and time for
any Ulysses members to meet and ride together to Albany.

Scoot

Just putting it out there that I am seeking a companion rider to make me legal while WA does my senior check about fallen off NT R license 1983.
Currently riding on a three Permit favour of Licensing regulations .

I would like to travel on the weekend prior, or whenever...and by the shortest route Roe Highway from Helena Valley then continue down Albany Highway at projected min 90kph depending on road conditions.

Anyone who once arrived Perthside prefers a more leisurely trip en route for continuing to Albany in company with me will facilitate my having the joy of my leGrande200 there without added expense thus giving me for once the pleasure of a dreamed of long ride again just phone me 0404 343 149 asap

Reward is petrol and a beer or two. Oh and a free Footreflexology

treatment anytime during the week.

I will need similar shadowing on the way back unless some practice and tuition from interstate experts has me completing my Test in Albany during that time. I need encouragement sadly lacking without shadows.

The sooner I have a confirmed shadow or small group the more contented I can be as I ready for the voyage. Accustomed to long slow rides to Odysseys on the Honda 50 since 2004 now owing to the generosity of Dragon Bill and so many Ulyssians I will be chuffed at having ride company . After all thats what the club is all about. The pleasure of the ride.

Thanks for the offer but I’m only taking my paradise panties, and as you know, they won’t take up much room! Laughing
