Bermagui FJ Shed Weekend

[Sparky84]

I'm leaving at half past on Friday, via Tarago, Braidwood, Clyde Valley (Right turn Clyde.... ), and the ZZZ Hwy to beer, whoops, Bermie.

If anyone is up for a join I might decide what half past it is....

Well I believe Gavin and I will be passing your way at ..o'clock but I'm not sure which one, but I do believe we'll be leaving at around 6am from Sydney to head your way.
I'm sure Gavin has an estimation of when we'll be passing.

Cheers

According to Base Camp, it will take Alan and I approx three hours to Nowra Airport via Kangaroo Valley so, an 8:30 departure from your place should see you at Nowra Airport around 8:34
Maybe this would be a good place to meet around about 09:00.

Gavin

Sounds good.

The easiest spot to meet will be corner of Albatross Rd and Braidwood Rd.

See you at 9

Dun Deal.

We may stop in Kangaroo Valley for a wee break and a fuel top up.

C U round 09:00 at the designated meeting point.

Getting all excited. Less than 24 hours till I start my way down. To make it more interesting I have signed up with the Aussie Hard Arse Assosiation Challange ( Similar to the Iron Butt Challange) and I am hoping to do two challanges. You have to work up to the big rides in stages (it's the rules. 600km, 800km, 1000km and so on) Planning on the 600 km ride on the way down to meet up with David Moore and will be taking the New England Highway. Will try the 800km on the return journey.

The bike is all prepped, just had an oil change, tyres are in good nick chain adjusted and lubed up. Not much more to do but pack my gear and head off.

Looking forward to the therapy.

We'll dedicate a bit of time to planning a 1,100 km route home for you. I know of some great roads to help you do it. Most of the roads I'm thinking of will see you average around 140km/h. Great scenery and the km's just fly by.
    Have a great and safe trip.
    Regards, Pete.

Me too, it is one of my favourite weekends of the year and one of my favourite rides and I'll be on the road in less than 8 hours.

You are ahead of me on bike prep, the FJ has just come back from a trip last weekend and is need of some R&R, it will have to sit this one out, finding spare time this close to Christmas is near impossible, I'm doing well to even get away and will need to come home in one day on Sunday.

Looking forward to meeting a few new faces and catching up with some old ones.

....and I'd prefer cold and wet rather than the forecast weather.

Have a good time everyone, sorry I can't make it. For the new year I'll keep in mind Troy's suggestion of a Shed Day (By The Lake) at my joint.
Dang, that means I'd have to clean up the garage.

[Sparky84]

Have a good time everyone, sorry I can't make it.

And you have a Great time on the Cruise too Krusty,
Maybe you'll make it to the FJ Rally next year just north of you!

Cheers

Noel, I hope you have enough puncture repair plugs buddy  . That Beemer loves 'em. Stay upright mate!

Mark, be seeing you real soon. You might want to stay ahead of Diesel, just sayin'.
Dave & Diesel, keep the alternator attached & the oil up  . I've run out of drill bits & the easy-outs are still new.....

Al & Gav, see you tomorrow. With the early departure, keep a mind on Skippy. It has been breezy this way today so there will be heaps of leaves bark and other crud on the corners. I'll be the Storm Trooper at Albatross in a cloud of smoke.

Pete, is there enough ice in Bermie for our beer? We might need your '1100' to do a few high speed passes to keep things cool.

Everyone else take care and see you there !

(Yes I plan on visiting my corner on the way to lunch  )

Ha, I have the seven plugs covered but I'm not carrying a spare tyre. Let's hope the roads treat me a little more kindly this year.

Speaking of roads treating you kindly.........

Troy, the one thing we have plenty of at Bermi is ice for beer. Not so sure about tyre plugs but I'm sure Noel will have that covered.
Have a safe and enjoyable ride all, see you tomorrow.

Photos to follow.

Pete, Alf, Gail & Steve put on a great weekend yet again. Thanks very much for hosting us.

It turned into a bit of a carbie tweak and tune weekend. Thanks to Phil for his Colour Tune plug work.

Pete dismantling and reassembling a number of carb banks.

Noel, you are a true gentleman! Great to catch up. Get home safe mate, a long ride today.

Mark, I think you get the long ride to join up. Let's hope that Sparkles doesn't loose her spark on the way home to Dave's place (Pete's joke!).

Dave, great to catch up and I trust you and Mark will get home safe, miss the storms, and dodge the Sydney Sunday traffic.

Gav, Al, Diesel, Johno, tops to spend some time with you all.

Some of the best roads south of Bermie, a must for those that haven't visited
