"The Town of 1770" was named after the place where Captain Cook first landed in Queensland in 1770 looking for fresh water. Alas he didn't find any as it is just a bay with a small inlet with no fresh water supply.

I went for a ride up there yesterday with a few friends for lunch.

Weather was dry, sunny with a temp. of 31c.

Here are a few pics for those with that dreaded Cabin Fever.

My Speedy of course.

Hey, there's a V-Max in there, no gentlemans ride there!
What is the bike in the last pix, that just shows a wheel in the left corner?

The V-Max is owned by a mate of mine. I know he has great taste he also owns a Triumph Tiger. He only rides the V-Max when he feels like a change.

The little wheel on the left is off this:

The owner does trike tour rides from one of our local beach suburbs.
