Manshed Day 2015 Yamanto

[X-Ray]

Holy Hell! Sterling effort Glenn.

So we have Mark coming up from Grafton, you from Melb, we'll have to start selling tickets soon,       

** Should squeeze in a quick sprint to Boonah and back Tony, nice and scenic. (Although anyone doing shims, no )

Ray, all very low key - just needed a ride... Might change oil for the trip home, not much else... I'll pick it up local on the Friday to bring along.

    Glenn, let me know if you're passing this neck of the woods. Should be able to meet up with you, either on your way up or when you come back south.
Enjoy the ride mate and don't let the northern tribe lead you astray.
                                                                                            Regards, Pete.

Hi Pete, Day 1 - Endeavour Hills to Cann River and up to Cooma I think - haven't ridden that road. Detour down the B72 looks nice - though last time a mate and I rode around the coast road getting from Narooma to Nowra took an age..... was trying to stay away this time.

If you want some input on some good routes between here and the Qld border let me know. Done a lot of rides in that direction and we avoid major highways and blue light hotspots.   Pete.

Glen,

No, no, no.  The Princes Hwy through Gippland is a major bore.
But, if you are determined to go that way, turn off at Orbost and take the Bonang (C612) through Delegate and up to Bombala.  Much more interesting than the Monaro and it gets you off the Princes earlier.  When are you planning to leave?  You want to be quick to beat the snow up there.

I agree with Arnie 100%. The Bonang is a "must do" bit of road but only if you like corners. Hundreds of them, non stop for 125 klms. Once you get to Bombala and you want more corners, take the Mt Darragh road down to Pambula on the coast.  Up through Tathra, Bermagui, Batemans Bay and up the Clyde Mountain, Braidwood and then on to Goulburn. Head to Bathurst either via Oberon or Tuena. Both great roads, can't go wrong with either of them.

And then from Bathurst, up to Sofala and cut across through Kandos/Ryleston and take the run up the Bylong Valley rd to Denman....... and turn around and ride back to Ryleston just cos its that good!

Then you can take in Mudgee, Gulgong, head for Dunedoo, turn right and then left to Coolah and then the Mullaley-Coolah rd. Head east to Gunnedah and Tamworth........ from there take your pick of Armidale and the Waterfall Way thru to Grafton, or stay inland thru Glen Innes and Tenterfield and then across to the Summerland Way at Casino.

Took the words right out of my mouth, Harvy. My only adjustment would be; Bylong Valley to Musselbrook, New England to Nundle turn off at Wallabadah ,windy back road to Walcha. Thunderbolts way to Inverell, Glen Innes, Gwydir Hwy to Grafton.   Pete.

[Chromaxe]

Pete, Harvy, Arnie many thanks, that's more than enough for me to be going on with - out with Google Maps.

Arnie, wholeheartedly agree on the Princes Hwy to Gippsland, thanks. Setting off on the 12th.

[Bones]

Just a reminder for next weekend, here's my address again.

http://goo.gl/maps/t7JAs

It's easy to find, once you get off the highway turn left at the lights at the shopping centre and I'm about halfway up on the right. I'ts a lowset brick set back up from the road, so you'll have to ride up on the grass to get into the back yard. What i'll do is park my 4x4 out the front so when you come across a red Toyota 4runner, look to your right and you'll see a carport with the gates open, ride up the bank but don't gun it because the grass will be wet from the dew and you could end up being the morning's entertainment

Once through the carport you'll see an undercovered area to the right, just pull in there and park if your doing nothing to your bike, if your doing something to your bike, ride up another little bank into the shed. There'll be a hot coffee or tea plus some nibblies waiting for you. Forecast is for a possible shower, but I reckon it'll be fine weather, so I'll see you then.

                                                                        Tony.

Was just going to send you a message about the day Tony. Sounds good, might bring my Project Carbs along and rebuild them, will see. I think Mark is still coming up Friday from Grafton , and Rob is still coming as well.

I did ask my brother today (who is pushing me to get HIS Project '92 done!), if he wanted to come along and shoot the breeze etc. hope this is alright.

If you are still coming Rob if you wanted to turn up at my place around 8.30-9.00, that would be good. Let me know and I'll send you my address. I'm 10ks south of Browns Plains, and it's a good run to Yamanto up the back way through Springfield etc.

Chicken, Avacado and Rosemary/thyme sausages for me please Tony.

Mmmm... I see what's available Ray, no promise's but.

[ken65]

[dayta]

Hi Ray...still coming and looking forward to it since I had to miss the rally in march..
I will bring my carb balancers should anyone want to use them - along with my cam shim tool and a few spare shims if needed by anyone. Tony let me know if you need anything else?
