Well plans are made to be broken ha? 
So I'm in 




Geez mate, you must like living on the edge. I reckon it'll be 2 weeks in the doghouse for you. 

Mate I'm in there that often I'm thinking of renovating

Ok, anybody else interested in doing the ride to Nobby pub, please let me know before Monday so I can ring up and book a table. It can get busy there at times on the weekends so I want to book in early.

                                         Thanks Tony.

I'll definatley be there Tony, plus my brother who lives at Clifton will be joining us as well, (trying to get him onto an FJ, lol)

[Bones]

No worries Ray, everyone who has responded so far is on the list plus their extras etc... It's just I want a rough estimate of how many are coming so I can let the pub know, then on the day let them know how many there actually are before we get there.

I've done rides before where I've got 2 replies and a dozen people turn up, I'ts good to have a bit of an idea of how many are coming. 

                                                               Tony.

Here is where we are going for lunch on Sunday   http://www.ruddspub.com.au/dining.html    ,  I still haven't been inside this place, looks nice.

My brother (Shane) who lives at Clifton said there has been an increase in police patrols in that area, and as a matter of fact on the way back from Leyburn recently through Ma Ma Creek 2 motorcycle cops were heading the other way doing a great rate of knots. But the countryside out there is just great, the road just rolls through the hills (apart from the tight spots) and its so easy just to sit on 120-130 and watch the scenery go by, (in the car anyway,  )

Looking forward to Sunday.

Seeing as I am an honest law abiding citizen, who never speeds, any boy racers amongst us on the day that wants to cut loose on the twisties, feel free to do so.

Don't feel obligated to sit behind me if you think I'm going too slow even though I'm leading, just don't get too far in front of me in case you miss a turnoff that I could take,( namely Manapouri Rd.)

These roads are fun at high speed, but like Ray said, the cops are out there.

                                                                    Tony.

This sounds vaguely familiar. Around March, I think.

Hey Neil, we finally get to meet!  ...See ya Sunday 

[Bones]

I put an order in for fine weather a few weeks ago, and it looks the big fella upstairs has granted me that wish, so with good weather, good roads, good crowd, good destination, it should turn out to be a good day. 

I'll get to the servo about 8.30am and will be waiting at the far left hand side as you come in the driveway.
I recommend everyone who are going to the pub after the museum to top their tanks up when you get there so that everyone is on a full tank before leaving. ( your choice)

Nobby township does have fuel( Premium as well) but could be a bit dearer. Not sure of the distance, but it's about a 1.5hr ride from the museum.

See you all on the day. Tony.

[oz.fj]

Anyone coming from the North want to meet up on the way?
The General and I are meeting at BP Mooloolah at 7:15
We are heading through Peachester,Kilcoy,Summerset down The Brisbane Valley HWY to Blacksoil.
Unfortunately I wont be joining you for the run up to Nobby's.
See yall tomorrow.

Well, what a great day I had, perfect weather, the museum which had a great selection of bikes, some I've never even heard of, twisty roads , good company, and a good feed at the pub.

Roadworks that left loose stones halfway around some of the corners kept you on your toes, but luckily no dramas.

Thanks to Doug, Ray, Darran, Neil, Harvy & Peta for turning up.

When I get the video footage sorted out, and put on YouTube I'll post a link.
