 Count me in Richard, :good2: I was wondering when the next one was gonna be on. I'll bring the tools for the timing advance mod if anyone wants it done.

Too young to be old but old enough to know better.

Me 2 . My mate  who bought  my shim kit  and valve  tool said he'd  lend it  to me  for  the  day.  10 bucks a shim and a pat  on the  back for  good old ken. Hehe.  See ya soon.

Ps. . Richard  is it  ok if I just get  dropped off?
I'm  only  a couple  of Roger  Gould  punt kicks  away from petrie so i can get  smashed.  Ha ..

   Anyone from NSW or Victoria thinking about heading north for this epic event? I'm thinking seriously about going so a traveling partner or two will definitely help sway my decision! I try not to ride on major or straight roads (if at all avoidable) so if this scares you, find your own way there.

Not sure I can do this as I fly over to Europe a few days later. Might be cutting it a bit close. Otherwise i'd be your tail end charlie Pete.
What route would you be taking ?

G'day Jools, flying to Europe a few days after, is a pretty piss poor excuse to get out of this one!  :lol:
It would be great to have you along for the ride, mate. Haven't got a definite route planned at this stage but am thinking along the lines of Bathurst, Sofala, Mudgee, Merriwa, Willow Tree, Nundle, Walcha, Inverell and then through to Brisbane via "open to suggestions".
   Happy to fit in with anyone coming along as long as it's not straight up the quickest highway to get there. Life's too short to spend riding down boring highways.

Yeah

I do want to go pretty badly.

The trouble is my current work contract finishes on the Friday 27th and I need all the cash as I'm gonna be away for almost 6 weeks.

Just don't think all the ducks will line up to allow me to get away any earlier. Let me work on it.

Pete

when would you be passing through Sydney, and how long do you estimate for the trip ?

I drove Sydney to toowoomba a few times up the New England non stop and it wasn't fun.

Jools, my rough plan at the moment is going via Goulburn to Bathurst, so not going anywhere near Sydney. I will be on the New England Hwy for only a very short stretch between Willow Tree and Wallabadah. The ride from Wallabadah via Nundle and Walcha to Inverell is pretty good, with some tight windy stuff and some fairly open country with spectacular countryside.
Leaving home Thursday 26th May and returning Sunday 29th. (if Richard can put up with me for that long?)
I will be taking my swag and camping gear with me but using it depends on the weather. I should be away from home for 5 days or maybe 6 if I get the urge to do a bit of sight seeing.
