Who wants to ride THIS road with me....?

[STeveo]

That suits me fine, so long as the world keeps turning and the sun keeps rising will be there.

[Biggles]

I've put 12th May in the diary.  Have to agree Mother's Day would be a fatal blunder.

[Tipsy]

[Tipsy]

Oooooh Harieg  now dont be like that,  :( :(   just think of all the things we could talk about,

Tipsy

[harieg]

well Diesel, do we have enough starters

[Diesel]

well Diesel, do we have enough starters

Yes Harie - 1 is enough for a great ride - we're doin' it!     

Congrats by the way on your new Anniversary Edition ST - make sure you put some pics of her up in the "about us" post and and write a little blurb about you and the bike.     

STeveo - talk to me as the date gets closer to the details of exactly where we can meet up etc...

Cheers, Diesel

I'll be in that one. We often use the Lyons Rd for access to National Park Trail Rides, so it will be interesting to do it on the ST. I'm in Cairns from the 2nd to the 9th, and I agree that Mother's Day comes with its own risk, so if we can work around those dates I'd appreciate it.

good morning gents - i see u mite b going for a trundle on the 12th may - sounds like a plan - u have a date & a destination -  where & what time do u think u mite kick it off from - 

maybe thru boonah or where.
i was there the other day & had breky at the so called "biker friendly" cafe' - don't no the name - its on the corner, u mite no it - anyway - 1st & last, i'll never go there again - absolute rip off - 25 mins to get a coffee then only after i ripped them - then another 10 mins on top of that to get eggs Benedict  - $20 for 2 small poached eggs & 1/2 a slice of bacon on a piece of toast - pathetic service,over priced miserable food - never again - i'll be spreading the word .

i'll keep watch for the ride futher details & hopefully i can make it - then there'll b three

btw: harieg - only just got back  but thanks for your call - enjoy your golden girl - if you here of anyone, send them my way

BS!  I was on it Saturday 21st April and it was in as good a shape as I've ever seen it.
Not safe for wooses!   

All its usual hazards are in great shape- cow pats on unfenced roads, cattle ramps on corners, narrow bridges, tight corners, they're all there.

I've still got Saturday 12th in my diary- don't let me down on this, Diesel!!!

No worries mate - 12th it is - but I'm taking YOUR word for it.

Hi There,
What's the plan, meeting place, time, lunch stop? etc.

[Diesel]

That suits me fine, so long as the world keeps turning and the sun keeps rising will be there.

Well Steveo - has the world stopped turning for you, or are you still a starter?

Hope you're feeling better champ.

Hi There,
What's the plan, meeting place, time, lunch stop? etc.

Hi Tony - late lunch is at the Dugandan Hotel just outside Boonah - you will ALL enjoy this one I'm sure.

Times/places to meet will be discussed this week right here - so stay tuned.....

I'm looking for a nice coffee joint to serve as the meeting point at 9.00am in Beaudesert (with good parking close by) - any suggestions Villains?

Cheers, Diesel

I can't help with a coffee shop at Beaudesert- maybe someone else knows one there.

If you're starting from Beauy, and ending at Dugandan, I deduce you're going towards Rathdowney, down the Innisplain Road to miss Rathdowney and link onto the Lions Road, then riding the road south to a turn around (at The Risk?) then back over the top to Rathdowney, Maroon and Dunganden.

About 360 km for me, which is a reasonable outing with coffee and lunch stops.

Another option is to turn right at the Summerland Way and go up to pick up the Mt Lindsey Hwy east of Woodenbong, then go back down through Palen Creek to Dugandan.  It's 30 km further, but saves doing the same road twice, an covers some new territory (although I know you have an affection for camping in the streets of Woodenbong).   

[harieg]

WELL
is it settled yet
time to start
where to start, 1st stop, coffee stop, wee stop etc.
have a root yet
maybe a map ?

[Diesel]

OK - here is the start point (A) on map - be there 9.00am for a relaxed coffee and ready for a 9.30-9.45am ride out. This is a shopping centre car park with a coffee shop just inside.

Look for a shiny gold ST1100 and a distinguished gentleman with a Cheshire cat grin aboard it to know you have reached your destination.       

Arrive Dugandan Hotel for lunch noon-12.30pm.

See you there Villains

[Diesel]

The Pub is BOOKED making this an official QLD OzSTOC RTE - so the usual World Record 'smashing and trashing' will go on and probably land Qld another trophy for the ever expanding cabinet!

That looks like a glorious ride Diesel you lucky buggers.
I went 6 ks down the rd to the Doc's this mornin and the bending of the knee was not good and I had taken pain killers 2 hrs before the trip.

So now I am going to go sit in a corner and sulk.

Tipsy

[STeveo]

Well my world is still turning but at very slow and painfull pace. Doctors and xray again today, and although I have dodged surgery the knitting of bones has not progressed much in the last 3 weeks. Doctor said NO RIDING for another month (just as well I didn't tell him I had a little ride around town on my 500 last Friday, must admit it did hurt a bit) so I will not be heading North for your next RTE. Feels like I am stuck at home with one foot nailed to the floor. Still don't have the bits to put the ST back together yet. Think I might join Tipsy and go and sulk in the corner for a while. :(

well we may be able to help out
give us a list of what you need

So it's the Woolworths carpark opposite the Big Pumpkin servo.

Looks like a decent plan Diesel.  Now you just have to organise the weather and we're in for a treat!

[STeveo]

Thanks harie, top and middle fairings for right side 1994 1100. Colour is lapis blue metalic (dark blue). Have advertised on here before and chased wreckers with no luck. Have bought some new small bits, but the fairings are a problem as all wrecked ones seem to have been down on the right side. Still cannot ride yet so not in a hurry.
Steve.
