Due to accommodation shortage in the area and larger than expected interest. 
Please Note Date Change to November 5 & 6

Really looking forward to catching up guys. Dena will be there for the brekky and a bit of girlie shopping with my sister & whoever wants to join them!.

Even better is the fact I`ve scored a luxury cave (biggest on the Estate!) right near, but not toooo close to the meeting place Lounge/Lodge of ill repute! (rooms of which are booked out incidently by bad arse riff raff!).....And and and!..... there are two spare single beds! (not bunks....but pure luxury, just dripping in Lilly Pond`s unique standards!). Those beds will cost ya $50....first in best dressed!

Cheers!

A fantastic weekend spent riding some of the Sunshine coast's best roads with the usual riffraff plus a few ringins from over the border. The heat was a killer with all the gear on but that was remieded later on sitting on the verandah of the Mapleton pub knocking a few cold ones back. Didn't get many photos but got some good video footage that I'll put together when I go through it all.

What an awesome looking weekend guys well done . It's great to see everybody out enjoying their bikes and the weather.
I'm rebuilding two FJ's at the moment however a slight interruption as going in for surgery for total knee replacement but also hoping to being in New York before Xmas all going well so would be great to catch up with any FJ lovers while we are there, will be there for 3 weeks so if body around that area, we are staying in east New Jersey (Rutherford) so drop a kind and catch up for a coffee.
A big hello from Toowoomba , Queensland

Looks like a great weekend, many more familiar faces since the Rally in March.

Good to see the General out and about on his chair. See you in March Doug! Ray, you've only got a few months to get that bike shiny.

Queensland humidity...aaaaarghh...I can feel it now. I left the Muster photos open on the computer while I went for dinner, came back half an hour later and there were cockroaches running around and mould growing on the screen.

Glad a good time was had by all.
