The Inaugural gathering of the 1050 Tiger Owners Australia was held in the Snowy River Alpine region on New South Wales, Sunday 3rd November.
This Pictorial is of my ride travelling to the meet point for the Gathering, which was a trip of approx.1200 klm done over three days on as many great bike roads as possible
First Stop was at a regular cafe of mine, about a 90 minute ride from home, in the wine growing region of the Hunter Valley
the Tiger Sport, waiting patiently
After travelling the renowned Putty Rd, a well liked bike road on the east coast of Australia, I stopped in the apple growing region of Blue Mountains for a coffee and the best apple pie I’ve eaten
the Panorama of the area around Crookwell, where I stopped for the night.
A mural of Black Cockatoos, one of the first things you see as you arrive in Crookwell, a small country sheep grazing town
Day two
The road heading west, just out of Crookwell
Wheat Silos in Murrumburrah, where I stopped for lunch, depicting the farming history of the region
It was really starting to warm up, so a quick afternoon rest stop at a small town, population of about 30 or so
Day Three
a few Alpine road shots, enroute to Albury, where I was to meet a few other members for a meal and a few refreshing ales.
another rest stop, this time at Mount Alfred, overlooking the Murray River, with the road to Albury in the background
And finally a few pic from the Gathering ride the following day
