Happily, I don't do Faecie book.
I believe David Moore's leaving on Thursday.
I'm hoping to be on my way Thursday too but if I can swing a Wednesday leave, even better.

Well, within a week we will be all together in Bingara, nearly here. The weather looks great, if not a little chilly, should be a great weekend. On the Saturday we will be having our usual bike lineup photo in the morn, exact location is still being decided, and after that we will be going on a nice ride from Bingara to Narrabri (108kms 1 hour 20 mins) to the Tattersalls Hotel for lunch. Prices and menu looks very reasonable. After lunch there is the option to come back to Bingara via the same road through Rocky Creek,  the range and look at the beautiful scenery from a different perspective, and for those wanting a longer run, the back road to Moree via Terry Hie Hie,  Gravesend and back to Bingara that way is an option. The decision is entirely yours, and the above ride to Narrabri is not compulsory, but just a heads up, the scenery is stunning.  Some may want to just chill out and relax on the Saturday, although if I can get a confirmation of numbers heading to Narrabri for the lunch booking on the seperate poll it would be appreciated.

We also have a few things planned for the Saturday night get together at the Imperial. Speaking of which when Alena and I visited Bingara a couple of weeks back, we checked out the other accom areas, and we found that both are an easy walk to the Imperial ----

Riverside Caravan Park --- 10-12 mins walk
Fossickers Way Motel --- 5 mins tops. 

Again, really looking forward to this rally, any questions please pop them up here, otherwise see you all there, and don't forget your winter woollies,  have attached a few pics of our recon run to check out the rally site.

Last weekend I put the winter liners back in my pants and jacket. Also checked that my Oxford heated grips are working. I may need a neck warmer but otherwise good to go.

My mistake there, Noel

I just didn't think you were allowed to use words such as "girlie" and "real man" anymore as it's derogatory to us in NSW.....

Haha, true Al, as it is here. If the PC police want to come after me they'll have to get in line, and it's a long one!
