Albany Hill Climb 2011 - Western Australia
Posted: Mon Nov 14, 2011 8:50 pm
A bunch of us Ducati folks took the trek 570km south of Perth via the wonderful south west forest roads to Albany for the Albany Hill Climb weekend.
We all took Friday and Monday off so we could be there for the whole weekend. This is my favourite event on the calendar and is always a great weekend. The weather forecast was terrible and we left Perth in some heavy rain, but the event was favoured with good weather. That being said, we got drowned coming home on the Monday.
Some shots...
Coffee break on the way down...
At the display on Saturday morning..
I particulaly like this one as many years ago I had a Mach III Kawasaki 500, so I parked my Sport next to this 750 for a photo. I sold the Mach III to buy my first Ducati as I wanted a bike that actually went around corners
The venue for lunch after a hard morning at the display. It was supposed to be raining, but...
At the Hill Climb on Sunday...
My 250 M3D managed to finish one ride in front of the 750 Bonnie but I was 1-2 sec behind him on the other two...
No prizes for guessing which of these two got to the top first…
