"TRELLA" SPRING SUNDAY 28 SEPTEMBER 2014 REPORT
"Trella" organised its first Sunday day ride after a pause in activity recently on Sunday 28 September 2014 and many "old" and new faces had come along at Macdonald's Belmore South from 9.30am eager to start their engine at 10.30am to enjoy the day with the destination being Gerringong via the Royal National Park (RNP), Jamberoo and Kiama. And...what a day it was!! The weather could not have been a nicer spring....start to spring! Sunshine abundant and 24-25oC!
Brett rocked up on his beauty 2012 Ducati, Jeff on his K9, Matt on his 2006 R1, Simon on his MV Augusta, Eric on his 2006 GSXR750, Josh on his 2006 GSXR750, Andrew and Angeliki on their Triumph, Harry on his 2007 CBR1000, Chris on a dirt bike, Dimitri on his 2008 GSXR1000 and others! We all departed at 10.45am waiting for Dennis on his GSXR750 till that time but he had some problems riding there as his bike decided to give him some morning grief!
We filled up with petrol at the 7/11 at Roselands, so we could ensure that there was no further stop for at least 150 klms. Traversing King Georges rd, Princes Highway, Tom Ugly's Bridge, we reached the Royal National Park entry at Loftus. It was a busy road inside the park and quite understandably as the fantastic weather got "every man and his dog" out and about in cars, on two wheels, on foot. Eventually, we made it to Stanwell Tops by midday where we stopped and chatted for a while. Dimitrije on his 2011 CBR1000 Repsol and Paul on his 2007 CBR1000 we waiting there to join in.
Chris had to return to attend to issues that had arisen with two other riders in the RNP as they had an unfortunate incident but both were ok at the end as we were informed. All's well, ends well!
We left Stanwell Tops, cruising the Coastal Road which had a lot of traffic. The beaches were full as if we were in summer and it was only the first month of spring! Imagine what will happen in summer, in a few weeks time!
We then headed off up Bulli Pass, to join the Freeway and go down to Albion Park round-about. Thence it was onto Illawarra Highway so we could travel on Jamberoo Rd. What a great ride that was and is!! Windy road, green pastures and many, many, many cows, chewing and loooooooking (mooooooo) at the passing bikes, that is us!
A good stretch of windy roads, up and down, on a hilly landscape. That is how this pristine area looks like and feels like riding! Brett "had a ball"!
We reached Kiama waiting for Andrew and Angeliki but they decided to use the freeway and wait for us at Gerringong, as they would find it a challenge to negotiate the Jamberoo windy roads! So, once we found out they were there, we all headed down the South Coast bends. Brett knows these bends very well once again and so does Dimitrije!
Lunch at Gerringong occurred at about 2.30pm, more like an Italian/Spanish/Greek lunch, a typical southern European one timewise, but it was enjoyed by all. The winds though picked up and we had to hold onto our chairs of the cafe, which were nearly blown away! That is the south coast for you!
We departed back to Sydney at about 4.00pm, stopping at Albion Park for a petrol fill up, reaching eventually Sydney by 6.30pm, negotiating the horrible traffic that had banked up for at least 10 kilometeres before Heathcote! An unbelievable sight!
We are all looking forward to the next Sunday ride on 19 October 2014. Keep in contact for that date's destination as the information should be up on the Web-blog by the 12 October!It is likely to be northbound to Terrigal.
Enjoy the photos from Belmore, Stanwell Tops and Gerringong!

A little bit of enjoyment....sit back and relax with Greek bike riders
If you have ever yearned to see how some crazy Greeks ride so skillfully their super sport bikes around Athens and the surrounds during the day or night, winter or summer, click onto the following Youtube videos and sit back and...enjoy! In fact some of these riders are part of the Superbike Club of Athens (www.superbikeclub.gr) and they are friends of "Trella". They send their best regards to Sydney motorcycle riders and wish them well, as well as good and fast riding times!

Αγαπητοί Μηχανόβιοι της Τρέλλας
Με 1000άδες βιντεάκια αναρτημένα στο Γιουτιούμπ από όλο τον κόσμο τα οποία κάνουν πιο διασκεδαστικά τα βράδια, γιατί δεν κάνετε κλικ στο παρακάτω και να το χαρείτε; Μαγνητοφωνήθηκε από την θέση του συνοδηγού από τον γράφοντα την Κυριακή 12 Ιανουαρίου 2014 από την Κόρινθο ως την Αθήνα στον αυτοκινητόδρομο, επιστρέφοντας στην ελληνική πρωτεύουσα, αργά το απόγευμα. Παρακαλώ, όπως κάνετε κλικ σε περισσότερα βιντεάκια του Σούπεμπαϊκ Κλαμπ της Αθήνας για την διασκέδασή σας με αληθινά στιγμιότυπα και καλή οδήγηση!

TRELLA meets ATHENS SUPERBIKE CLUB!! Η ΤΡΕΛΛΑ συναντά την ΛΕΣΧΗ ΣΟΥΠΕΡΜΠΑΪΚ της ΑΘΗΝΑΣ
These are some photos of a very hospitable Superbike Club in Athens (www.superbikeclub.gr) that organised a fantastic ride to the well known and beautiful (and classical Greek) destination of Epidaurus, about 140 klms west of Athens on a gorgeous Sunday weatherwise with top temps about 17-19oC, that is on the 12 January 2014. Needless to say that on the Athens to Corinth highway, the speeds were between 180-260 klms per hour and probably even more and these were sustained during the ride!!
The Club has coffee meetings weekly and some night rides as well as Sunday all day rides or half day rides. In the club there are very nice persons like Grigoris on a Hayabusa, Yiannis on a CBR1000 2007, Apostolis on R1, Lambros on a CBR1000 2008, Ilias on a Hayabusa to mention only a few names in the group. Well done to our Hellene friends for keeping up high with the supersport bike club culture despite any challenges of the current times. Note that mirrors, indicators and....number plates are almost non-existent when riding!! NOW THAT IS....TRELLA!!
Εδώ θα δει κανείς μερικές φωτογραφίες από την πολύ φιλόξενη Λέσχη Σούπερμπαϊκ της Αθήνας (www.superbikeclub.gr) η οποία οργάνωσε μία φανταστική βόλτα στην πασίγνωστη και πανέμορφη (και αρχαία ελληνική) τοποθεσία της Επιδαύρου, περίπου 140 χλμ δυτικά της Αθήνας την Κυριακή 12 Ιανουαρίου 2014 υπό πανέμορφες καιρικές συνθήκες και ανώτερη θερμοκρασία τους 17-18oC. Περιττό να ειπωθεί πως στον αυτοκινητόδρομο Αθηνών-Κορίνθου, οι ταχύτητες έφταναν μεταξύ 180-260 χλμ ανά ώρα και ίσως περισσότερο και αυτές διατηρόντουσαν καθόλη την διάρκεια της εκδρομής.
Η Λέσχη έχει εβδομαδιαίες καφεσυναντήσεις και μερικές νυχτερινές εξορμήσεις καθώς και ολοήμερες ή μισοήμερες Κυριακάτικες βόλτες. Εντός της Λέσχης υπάρχουν πολύ ωραία άτομα όπως ο Γρηγόρης με Χαγιαμπούσα, ο Γιάννης με CBR1000 2007, ο Αποστόλης με R1, ο Λάμπρος με CBR1000 2008, ο Ηλίας με Χαγιαμπούσα για να ειπωθούν μερικά μόνο ονόματα της παρέας. Συγχαρητήρια στους Ελλαδίτες φίλους και συμπατριώτες μας για την ύψωση της κουλτούρας του μηχανοκίνητου αθλητισμού σε σούπερσπορτ μηχανές παρά τις οποιεσδήποτε δυσχέρειες της εποχής. Παρακαλώ, παρατηρήσετε ότι οι καθρέφτες, τα φλασάκια αλλά και...οι πινακίδες είναι σχεδόν όλα άφαντα όταν οδηγάνε!! ΑΥΤΗ ΕΙΝΑΙ...ΤΡΕΛΛΑ!!
