Hi Folks,
Proposing a Ride & Camp – Boarder Ranges, Kyogle, Casino to Lawrence (Clarence River) & Brooms Head Camp. Who's Keen
I am looking at heading down next Saturday morning 3rd June ( possibly meet at Beaudesert) & head over the Boarder Ranges, or Via Woodenbong to the Clarence River & then onto Brooms Head... I haven't checked availability yet, but can't see it being an issue, if not there will be other options.
I want to try out my new saddle Bags (Nelson Riggs CL85) and some camp gear... in prep for next years Rally
I'm sure there will be cabins for those that don't want to Tent it...
I know its short notice & I need to be back to Jimboomba to watch munchkin play Soccer for 1300hr on Sunday.
Some Company would be great & if anyone knows the roads even better.... Keen to hear
Cheers
Andrew
Andrew, Noooooooooooo!!!!!!! I'm just up the road from Jimboomba but have to work all day next Saturday, first time in months. Love going around Kyogle/Border Ranges/Casino etc, bugger, maybe next time.
All Good Ray,
hopefully the weather holds, this weekend has been sensational... The Northern NSW (rivers) area is a fabulous part of the Country.
Depending upon my trip home, I may hit you up for a coffee and tour of the shed if that's OK.. always keen for someone else's insight.
It would be great, with a bit more notice, to arrange a group ride down that way.
Cheers
Andrew
:drinks: Always welcome. Still have the '94s carbs in pieces, although now they are nice and shiny, ready to be rebuilt ( just waiting on an important shipment from RPM to put the carbs back together :) )
HI Bro ... You have to work on Saturday so I guess you won't be up then ... lol ... you always have something apart ... :rofl:
Serious now, what did you think of the Shinko Tourmaster tyres, might be more of my way of riding and cheaper?
Doesn't matter they are gone now?
Hey Andrew
I hope you do make it down here to the Clarence. Yes Brooms heads has cabins. I will keep track of this thread to see if you are coming down, and hopefully i might be able to make the trip up to Brooms to say hi.

Might be a bit hard to find these. Gareth has them on his bike, (in the thread below this one), but the useless Shinko US and the Aust sites don't list the 120/70/17 front tyre size. they list the rear 150/80/16. But if Gareth has the fronts they must be available somewhere. Old reports on them get good approval ratings, comparisong/pricing to the Pirellis would be good to read as well. As long as they are not outrageously expensive, have the grip and go for long miles, thats what we want I guess, :)
Would have loved to do this BUT I am off to the KLR Rally that weekend. want be back till 18th.
Enjoy Richard
where are your headed - really enjoy your Post & Pics of your travels - what a great Country we live in & so much on our door step..
I'm certainly looking forward to the run - even if its on my mat Malone...
Safe Travels
Cheers

Hey Mark,
I might be up for a beer at either the Lawrence Pub or Brushgrove if either of these work for you ... or there are three in Maclean to choose from...
Depending upon how I' m traveling I could give you a call from Casino if your up for a catch up..
cheers
Andrew
Hi Andrew
A beer would be good. I am thinking the Top pub in Maclean (the one in the middle of the main street, closest to the roundabout). I will send you a PM with my phone number. Not sure how well you know the area down here. If you are coming from Casino, head towards Grafton on the Summerland way, the turn left onto Pringle Way towards Lawrence.
We have another member down here too at Iluka, Dave Innes ( Davo231481 ) he might like to catch up too. He is on Facebook.

Hi Andrew
It was great to catch up you at Maclean. I hope the camping at Brooms Head was good too. Would love to see some pictures if you got any.
Mark
Hi Mark,
was great to catch up - what a fantastic part of the Country you live in... I didn't get any video footage( must put in more effort next time)
The Ride was fantastic, Brooms Head is very picturesque (although a little breezy & cold at 3am). I came home almost the same way except for the run to Woodburn, Coraki and then to Casino - awesome country and roads.
Have attached a couple of pics of the Lawrence, Woodford Ferry Crossing and Brooms Head...
I'd certainly to it again - taking in a lap of the island as well -
till net time
Cheers
Andrew
Wow! Beautiful pictures. I need to visit OZ, and meet up with my nephew in Queensland so he can show me around Big R
How did I miss this, I'm working in Brissy for 6 months and this would've been a hell of a ride. if you go before end of September let us know again.

Hi Bozo
When are you leaving Brisbane ?
There is talk of a man shed day ...
date TBC.
Plus I'm sure we can get at least a couple of day rides in before then. Pity you will be leaving before our annual Mapleton Muster weekend .
G'Day boys, what is this i here of a manshed day? Has a date been set for the mapleton run yet?
Ken!!! Where have you been buddy?
No dates for either yet, I'm sure something will be worked out soon for a Manshed day
Hey Ray. Still here mate. Don't normally sign in just a quick browse.
I don't have facebook. Tried it once and all of a sudden , nearly everyone from school
that i hadn't heard from in 30 years wanted to be my friend so i cancelled my acc.
I know what you mean re facebook, my brother said the same. You can jump on FB without anyone knowing, that what I let him know as well. The Aussie FJ page and the UK page on FB has heaps of good info and banter.
Try this Ken http://www.sileo.com/hide-on-facebook/ (http://www.sileo.com/hide-on-facebook/) and jump on!! :good2:

I will be in Brisbane till at least end of September, we have a few dates booked but otherwise I ride every weekend. Today I went to the Queen Mary Falls, last week Kyogle etc, forgetting Mt Glorious and beyond. I can't believe the roads you guys have here. Makes Perth look a bit sad.
