With the Rally only 3 weeks away thought I'd make some travel plans...

Those coming down from the north I was thinking of meeting up at Beaudesert Mcdonalds car park at around 9:30am on Friday morning. That would give us plenty of time for a leisurely jaunt down the Summerland Way and be at the bar with your favourite beverage in hand no later than 4 o'clock.

It was pointed out that I my have been a little excited with the time....
Lets make it 10:30am Queensland time

You having lunch in Grafton then....

Leaving Beaudessert (lol) at 10:30 stone age time should put you in G town between 2:00 or 3:00 real time. Or about beer o'clock.

I would like to say a big thank you to the organizers of the Wog 57 Rally, for a great event. I had an awesome day and it was my privilege to lead the pack out (local knowledge has it advantages). I made lots of new friends and much knowledge (and bullshit) was exchanged. I can' wait to meet up again. Top Show guys.

Thanks to all the FJ riders that attended the Wog57 memorial Rally. A big thanks to the Ducati Crew and to Joes son for coming and for his long ride to the Rally. Thanks to those that helped out during the day and to Doug McCarthy the official Yamaha FJ courier. Linky to pixies

Sounds like you all had a great time, sorry I missed this rally. When I read this the first thing I thought of was Joe, on the rally to Bellingup he found my wallet when it fell onto the road during the ride, if it wasn't for him I would've been begging for petrol to get to Melbourne. Nice photos on facebook

Bit early but has the next rally been discussed? Who won the ashes trophy?

C`mon Tony, more detail mate. Which Bridge? ....Oh!.....No need mate I remember now, Cough. ......Yeah Sharon, bit of bad luck with those windy bridges, but luckily after risking life and limb he managed to retrieve the atm card, without break`n anything!

Hi All.

What a great weekend

(Besides the damn Rain on the way up and back down!

)
It was great to catch up with all my fj mate's and meet a few new ones.
A big thanks to Richard and Doug and everyone else who helped organise this excellent rally. And thanks to Randy from RPM for a great stash of excellent FJ goodies for prizes!

A Special mention to the staff at the hotel who really looked after us.

It was really nice to meet some of Joe's friends & family too.

I apologise for disappearing early and not saying my farewell's to everyone but when I woke up early and saw the weather report I didn't want to be riding home in the rain and the dark

.

And thanks to my frogger mate Tony who kept me company on the way home.He was very patient when I initially led us in the wrong direction and then I lost him for a little while when he was trying to recover his wallet and contents in the traffic.

Here's some pic's...

Clean and ready to go...
