Why is every event in March? This is still cyclone season here so we who have jobs that are tied to Emergency Services have restrictions put on leave during this period. Ulysses insist on having the AGM in March as well. It may look like I'm not interested in attending the National Rally but the truth is I probably won't get the time off to attend.

:well I am out as well. Change of ownership of the company I work for, and a 25 - 30% cut in my weekly earnings is making things very tight at the moment. If the correct ping pong balls get drawn, I might be able to get there, otherwise.......................

With over 50 people registered so far for National Rally We are hard at work!
Shiney and PC stepped out to test ride the National Rally Ride today, and had lunch with Gadget and I at the Southern Hotel here in Toowoomba, to make sure we have the most awesome event we possibly can!
So we had better see you all signing up!!

Just for some food for thought, for those who have not been to a national rally, and what to know what it is about, take a read of previous years:
2014 Rally, Ballarat Victoria: http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=3793.0 (http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=3793.0)
2013 Rally, Middleton South Australia: http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=1781.0 (http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=1781.0)
2012 Rally, Blackheath NSW: http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=182.0 (http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=182.0)
some of the best times I personally have ever had have been at these rally's, it is an experience not to be missed.....
(http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd499/ozstoc/10151297_799845126710220_457561542_n_zps10c411c3.jpg)

PC and Wild Rose have them now out on the National Rally Saturday ride route!
-
Thanks to the Toowoomba 2015 National Rally team for the invite to tour and inspect the venues and ride route for next year.....the Toowoomba team is all over it :-++
Having a few members on the team who have not yet attended a National Rally sure is give a new prospective to the structure.
The Venues we attend we're very well researched and bike friendly and will suit our needs and leave members with a tremendous Darling Downs experience of this part of QLD.
The ride route is a safe and picturesque route on good quality roads that leave you relaxed and able to enjoy the atmosphere :like
Just some of the ideas that will be implemented to enhance the National Rally experience from this team is having your Saturday lunch prepaid at the meet and greet on the Friday so no cues of members at a single teller or eftpos machine......leaves you more time to enjoy other company and streamlines the ride.
The OzSTOC shop will have a quantity of Aust Post pre-paid satchel available for purchase......these can be purchased from the shop filled with your local purchases and then sent by the shop to your home address after rally completion......a brilliant addition for motorcycle travellers who are travelling with bulging panniers.
So well done to the Toowoomba team.....they are going to provide us a tremendous National Rally experience in 2015.
Cheers

I just booked our accommodation at the Garden City Holiday Park. Good people to deal with, and we've received the OzSTOC discount. It seems that hard accommodation is going fast, so I suggest that you don't leave it much later.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Neil & Val at WeSTOC XIX in Fortuna, CA this past week and got to talking to them about plans I have been working on to visit AUS next year. It looks like I may just be able to swing attending this event. Although I still have a bit of planning (and saving $$$) to do to make it happen... At this point I am about 90% certain that I will be able to pull it off :grin
Any advice is most welcome. And my big question is will I be able to rent/borrow a moto while I am there or should I just plan to rent a car? I have no idea about the licensing requirements for international travellers.
Hope to you all soon!

We have 55 members and pillions registered for National Rally 2015 at this stage :runyay
OzSTOC has implemented a member information package so we can broadcast updated and accurate information direct to your mobile by SMS/TXT message (This is a no reply service) This information will directly related to the event and keep you appraised of any changes that may effect you and your National Rally experience.
If you haven't already done so YOU need to submit your mobile No. to Pockey at pillions@ozstoc.com to be apart of this. DONT presume we have your number as it was on your registration form.....we can only add you if YOU request to be apart of the group message service. (As many people don't wish to be just added by default)
Here is the poll OzSTOC conducted http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=7065.0 (http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=7065.0) 60 members voted that they would join the program, to date we have 36 who have submitted their mobile :whistle
We need to program these numbers into the system before rally and wont be doing it during.....so get your number to Pockey so we all receive current information during our events :thumbsup

I would have liked to do this one but my priority is a $700 repair for the car in Jan/Feb 2015. That being said, 2016 is a definite goer. Two birds with one stone sort of event for me as my sis lives in Perth so depending on rally location I might have free accommodation. Even Heather has confirmed it's a solo trip for me.

For anyone wanting to fly pillions on, Qantas is running cheap flights to toowoomba as well to keep it simple!

There we go, I've booked.
Shame you don't have a tick box for New Zealand! I had to put down NSW which is where I'll ship the bike into. I'll target a delivery date of Wed 18th March then ride up to the Rally Thurs & Fri. I might ask for some riding company for the trip up there closer to the day.
The plan is to then take a couple of weeks to loop around Daintree, Alice Springs and the coast back to Sydney.

It's official ... too late to back out now .... Myself and Trina will be at Toowoomba !!! :) :hatwave :hatwave
Has been a while since I was last back there so it should be interesting to see how much it has changed.
Trina and I will be doing a leisurely run back via Brisvegas, Sydney, Canberra , (maybe Melbourne), then the coast home.
Looking to allow 1.5 to 2 weeks for return run. (Any longer and my customers would mutiny on me)
See you all there ..... :wht11 :wht11 :wht11

looking forward to meeting some of you people there.

That's really cool! Thanks for giving us internationals a mention.
The bike's booked in with Mainfreight so fingers crossed it should be waiting for me at their depot in Botany for when I fly in on the Wednesday before the Rally. I might hit you guys up for some riding company from Springwood (brother-in-laws place) up to Toowoomba over the Thursday & Friday?

I havent been to a rally before so can someone briefly explain what goes on :(. I assume that aside from eating and drinking, we all walk around each others bikes and ooh-aah! and talk technical. Is the event actually at the Big4 park or elsewhere?.

Hi Jim,
I'll be riding up leaving Springwood in the Blue Mts on the Thursday morning. Was hoping to start out via the Putty Rd but happy to RV with you anywhere along the way for the ride if that's going to work. (My bike's getting shipped across from New Zealand so I pick it up from Mainfreight's Botany depot the day before if everything goes according to my cunning plan).
Can't help you with not getting lost in the Queensland hinterland though - might need to rely on Uncle Google again or get the local OzSTOCers to send out a search & rescue. We turn left at Brisbane don't we?
Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob,
Sounds like a plan to me, always interesting getting lost anyway, hope the OzSTOC search & rescue have made a note of this so they are fully prepared :rofl I am sure its left at Brisbane just looked at the map and it gets a bit wet if we make a right :grin. Happy to meet up anywhere thats good for you.
Anybody got a spare bed in a cabin for the weekend ? or should I dust the tent off ready :eek
Cheers Jim
-
Confirmed.
We can work on the details closer to the day and maybe get some other OzSTOCers to tag along with.
Can't help with the cabin though as I'm tenting for Toowoomba and the ensuing two and a bit weeks of Oz riding. (Did a nice lap around our North Island over Christmas and didn't have a single snake, scorpion or dingo try to crawl in the tent with me)

Hi Rob,
That all sounds good to me looks like we should have some company hopefully (johnnyYTED)
I may well be camping as well ( did a four day kayak/camping trip recently and as you say nothing tried to join me in the tent (thank god still getting used to the wild life over here).
look forward to meeting up and enjoying the ride up.

Hi,
That would be great to meet up for the ride to Toowoomba, still finding my way about locally so to ride up with you guys would be perfect for me.
I will definately be going to the RTE at Brooklin so it would be to meet up.
My number is 0423151073.
I will google map the route you suggest but being so new to Australia every road is a new road/experience so I really am happy to go where ever you guys think is best.
Cheers Jim

I will only be attending the Rally from Friday night to Saturday around midday (depends on where a ride and lunch is planned).
I'm not sure what I filled-out in the registration form. Can someone let me know, it might need to be changed?
Also, I will have a friend with me. Do you want me to fill out a registration for him?
And, finally (for now) what colour are the T-shirts? I'm not sure if I want another orange shirt I won't wear again. :Stirpot
-
Family reasons force me to withdraw.
I have notified OZStocers I was to share ride and lodgings with.
Hope a Fantastic Event is had by all.

I don't see Shiney & Carrol or STroppy on the list :popcorn
shiney and Carrol wont be there as they are in New Zealand for a wedding, and STroppy has not registered yet....I have 12 pages of spreadsheet to back that up
Damn wedding, it would have to happen during the rally :|||| :|||| :|||| and as I'm the best man I can't really get out of it :fp
It'll be a damn same to miss out on the QLD Rally as I have had such an awesome time at the last too :'(
So I'll need you to take lots of pics and vids for me to experience the event (as much as I can) after I get back :grin
Cheers

Hi everyone,
Some things have happened and I'm no longer the best man or even going to my mates wedding, as a result I have cut the NZ trip very short :eek

There was an argument between my mate, his fiancée and my wife (Carrol)... I backed my wife and as a result were uninvited to the wedding.
But looking on the bright side, we are now going to the rally.

Does this mean I've registered (I don't remember if I have)? Or does it just mean that I've indicated that I'll be at Toowoomba?
I'll be arriving with a mate, Derek (BMW 1100GS). By my reckoning that makes 98 attending, getting close to the 100 tally.
We will only be there on the Friday night (heading further north around Saturday lunch time).

Wow! Now that's keen!
Look forward to seeing you there.
Auckland to Toowoomba approx = 2000 km
Perth to Toowoomba approx = 4200 km
Looks like we'll need a special prize for greatest distance travelled.

By the way, how did you lift 400kg of bike and frame onto the trailer?
-
Looks like you could do with a bigger trailer there Rob :)
-
Hi Rob,
That's it then no turning back now, looking forward to the ride up together, if you get stuck for somewhere to sleep before we head off to Toowoomba let me know.
Cheers Jim
-
Maybe Greatest distance over water without a bridge...
-
By the way, how did you lift 400kg of bike and frame onto the trailer?
Answer:
1x 21 year old son,
1x 19 year old son,
1x 17 year old son,
2x random, yet burly, friends of sons,
1x ST owner,
1x ever forbearing wife of ST owner taking various loud instructions whilst backing trailer in general direction of aforementioned manpower lifting front of bike and frame.

By the time you get home again that Jacket will have crossed the Tasman 3 times.

Yes, I’m very much looking forward to the ride up with you guys as well.
(Don’t tell Streak but it’s not entirely about the Rally – I do plan on going a little further afterwards; Two and a half weeks’ worth in fact to take in Kings Canyon, Uluru and the Great Ocean Road etc. The plan is to then leave the ST with the Brother-in-Law at Katoomba and come back in July to 'finish off' WA, Broome & Darwin.)

A question about friends attending. Do they need to register and who can I email for details.

www.Vesselfinder.com (http://www.Vesselfinder.com) tells me that the container ship ‘Spirit of Auckland’ has cleared New Zealand and is pointed in the general direction of Botany Bay. Of course this boat's most valuable cargo is a certain NZ registered Honda ST1300.
So I’m claiming the lead in the competition for most km’s traveled towards Toowoomba to date. The distance:
Palmerston North to Auckland (all be it in a Mainfreight truck), 600 km.
Port of Auckland to somewhere off the west coast in the Tasman, 500 km.
(My rules are you don’t actually have to be riding the bike)

That's prity exciting stuff RGardner......like waiting for SanTa and his sleigh..
-
By boat appears to have reached Botany Bay this morning. That means my ST has now traveled 1,100 road kilometres to Auckland and 2,350 sea kilometres (1,270 nautical miles) to Sydney. That’s a healthy 3,620 km towards the Rally already. (The fact that I wasn't on the bike for any of these miles still remains irrelevant).

Out of interest Rob, what's the costs to transport the ST across the ditch and back ??

-
Hmmm,
We may have to have a convening of the OzSTOC Supreme Court, to closley look at the Rules. I think the wording is "Has Ridden the furthest to an OzSTOC Rally". Not forgetting the Gentleman Travelling from the US of course, as He would take out the (Furthest Travelled to Attend).
Of course, the presentation of supporting documents attached to the appropriate number of the form $100, may have a bearing on the decision reached.

Well maybe I can get the prize for the first bike to start the journey?

Thanks mate great info :like

For the 2013 rally the award was given to the person who had ridden the furtherest but not necessarily the most direct route. I had ridden from Townsville to Middleton taking the most direct route however the winner had toured parts of WA on holiday which were added to the distance travelled And therefore making that the winner (if I'd known that id have done a few loops in NSW to add some milage)
So my point here is that it needs to be fair and awarded to the person who has travelled the furtherest direct distance to the rally while riding their bike and returning on their bike. Using the current method if you live in Brisbane and travel to the rally via Adelaide to Toowoomba then You win and that's not fair on the rider who actually had to ride the furtherest not the furtherest by choice.
To cater for our international members who have made an extraordinary effort to attend, then perhaps a separate recognition should be made.

Sabie,
Assuming google does basically the shortest distance and not knowing exactly where in Townsville you where living at the time:-
From Google
Townsville to Middleton Caravan Park 2,706 kms
Somewhere close to Gavo's front door to Middleton Caravan Park 2,706 kms
My front door to Middleton Caravan Park 2,778 kms
From BigTed's front door to Midddleton Caravan Park 2,792 kms
So I guess Bigted should be putting nis hand up over both you and me.
Edit, left out 3 other WA members
From somewhere near Johnoj's front door to Middleton Caravan Park 2,773 kms
From somewhere nearSTRay's front door to Middleton Caravan Park 2,773 kms
From Turtle's front door to Middleton Caravan Park 2,774 kms
-
Sabie,
You make a good point IMHO.
I'd like to undertake an IBA 100CC prior to the Toowoomba event.
I'd ride Canberra to my Sydney start point, to Fremantle then back to Sydney, and on to Toowoomba.
Though I would not expect nor accept an award for most kms ridden to the event.
A fairer rule would be to measure the distance from residence to the annual destination using Google maps, not motorcycle odometers.

I would be more than happy with that and also if it was restricted to STs.In 2013 I simply submitted my kms, I did not make the rules or decide on the recipient and am happy to hand my 2013 award back. This year I won't even enter my kms as I will again be on a GL1500 and going via Sydney, then Tewantin and finally Brisbane Airport.
-
Hi Glen I will be riding from home directly to Toowoomba. (4271 klm according to Google maps) ;-*
I also will not enter as I will Riding my Yamaha ST1200,
I received the award in 2012 at Blackheath which I don't intend to hand back. o:)
Also I agree with Sabie and Glen.
:grin :blk13 :grin
-
For my 2bob, it wouldnt mater what bike you ride, as its about the rider....
-
First, I wasn't having a shot at anyone, only putting a case forward for a fairer system.
Secondly, let's be careful saying the shortest distance via Google as it will put you over dirt especially if your coming from North or Far North Qld (may be a glitch with Google- not sure) to Victorian and South Australian destinations as it takes you down through the centre. There's around 35k's of dirt from Torrents creek to Aramac. To avoid this dirt you have to either travel west to Hughenden, Winton and Longreach or East to Charters Towers, Belyando Crossing and Emerald.
So not just the most direct but the safest most direct route on sealed roads. So if you have a member who has travelled further to stay on the bitumen then they win as opposed to someone who didn't.
-
I think all of the points put have been fair comment, and something I had not really thought about.
Originally the greatest distance was all about encouraging members from all over to attend, as at least the first meeting in Blackheath was a real trial run of interest in members attending, so it was a point of conversation to get people talking, as are most of the awards. Now we have members from all over, some flying in and hiring bikes, some on the way to somewhere else, some from overseas and doing other things before and after etc etc.
It's not really about the distance but the journey really, so I don't think we are about to get hung up with IBA style rules about what bike, how you got there etc etc. There are a few other places you can go to do all those sort of rides and get accreditation, with very established rules. I went to a recent Victorian RTE at Forest, but I was going to go to Colac anyway to visit Mum at some time, so I did both together. Total ride distance was about 2000kms, but the RTE bit was really 170kms max from Colac, and that was going the long way back. So it was the shortest RTE I have ever done.
The story of getting to Ozstoc is more about how you got there and why, which is far more important than a competition to win something according to set rules.
-
Saaz, you missed the mark so I give up...
-
it about the ride who ride the longest or the shortests so I think
-
Perhaps it is as simple as. "Who has come from the furtherest place from the venue?"
-
Do we really need this award?
Let's put a chalk board in the camp kitchen and allow riders to record their distance to the venue if they so wish.

Just to put this to rest these are the awards that will be presented at this years National Rally in QLD.....
1. "Member of the Year" - Selected jointly by the OzSTOC Team and Moderation team over the last 12 mths.
This is Awarded to the member who has consistently been proactive within the club, assisted fellow members and displayed the spirt of the club and its values. (Already selected for engraving purposes)
2. "Best Presented ST". - Selected by the previous years winner if present at rally
This award can go to any ST of any aged just because of the way the ST is presented on the day, the award is only open to ST's.
3. "Most Charismatic ST" - Selected by the OzSTOC Team
This award is for the ST that despite natures best intentions this charismatic bike just refuses to lay down and keeps plugging on in true ST spirit.
4. "National Rallies Silliest Moment" - Selected by the OzSTOC team.
You stuff up and we get a giggle out of it you will soon hear about it on awards night......as some can already attest.
5. "OzSTOC National Rally Wildcard award" - Selected by the OzSTOC team after feedback from members.
This is a wildcard award for any situation that takes our fancy at the time, it could be for a good deed or a particular grand effort that deserves a special mention..... :think1
So be on your best behaviour kiddies, shine up those ST's and do good unto others :p

I'd also like to withdraw my nomination to win the "Most Charismatic OzSTOC Member" this year. I'd like to see someone other than myself win it for a change!
Oh fiddlesticks! I probably just scooped the "Most HUMBLE OzSTOC Member" trophy by doing that! Ho hum. o:) :grin

Well there we go, we just killed the furtherest travelled award .... just knocked out 95% of the members who have a chance at ever winning an award.....

Quiet the opposite Sabie :grin by removing this award and replacing it with another being the "Wild Card Award" it gave far greater eligibility to all members.....the longest distance travelled award only put a very select few members in the pool to chose from :popcorn
We have limited this year to the 5 awards for a number of reasons including purchase and supply. OzSTOC and our supporters pockets are only so deep :think1
We also agreed that having a number of smaller awards took the shine away from the major presentations.
I think we all agree who have attended past National Rallies, that the real award we all receive is the reward of attending :runyay and having the chance to ride, feast, chat with fellow members of this outstanding club ;-*

I disagree ST2UP, the longest distance award was the only award that was open where the membership could see the process whereby the most kilometres travelled equalled a winner. The winner should change with each new year due to State rotation.
Now all of the awards have been taken behind closed doors and the winner of each category is chosen by a select few which is not open open to scrutiny.
I feel there should be an "Award Committee" which is made up of a representative from each State and who are not part of Management or the Managements Clique of mates.
Nominations for each category should be submit or called for by management at the end of the year(or a date to be chosen) and the committee selects the winners of each category. There is no need for the committee to meet as all deliberations could be conducted by the forum private message or email and the winners names presented to management prior to the rally by a date to be determined.
This would prevent any nepotism and any cronyism creeping in.

(This is where you jump on me and tell me how wrong I am and how much they disagree Yada yada yada.. You know who you are..)
I don't disagree with you at all Sabie, accept....
we are not a registered club, we don't have a committee, no one has ever been elcected, we don't even have an ABN, the Bank account is still under me with 2 other signatories, in fact I still own the website domain name.
OzSTOC was built on 95% a democracy, and the other 5% is what Desiel and Streak say was going to happen, to which we always consulted many people on what moves we took (which you where one), now that breakdown applies to Saaz, ST2UP and Pocket Stocker.
Diesel and I selected the above people to run OzSTOC when we stood down, some people like it, some don't, it was our decision.
this is not a negative response, just giving you clear facts that while everything your saying is very true in the right Club setup, but OzSTOC is not that setup.
as for changing the award from longest travelled to the wild card award, that was MY idea that I took the national team who like it and went with it.
the awards your talking about apart from the Member of the year, is all awarded to people at rally for things that happen at rally, so there is no way we can have committiees to decide all that.
it has always been decided around a table at 5pm in the evening after national rally ride to see what events have unfolded.
I know it is what you would like to happen, but this is not the setup that will ever happen.
Diesel and I always said if we eve had to go committees and fully fledged club status we are out, as the drama and politics is not worth it.
we have an amazing group of people here that have assembled over the last 4 years, I love it just the way it is.
I have full trust in the 3 people in charge at this time, just like when they hand it over when they are done, they will have full trust as well.
Cheers

I feel there should be an "Award Committee" which is made up of a representative from each State and who are not part of Management or the Managements Clique of mates.
Nominations for each category should be submit or called for by management at the end of the year(or a date to be chosen) and the committee selects the winners of each category. There is no need for the committee to meet as all deliberations could be conducted by the forum private message or email and the winners names presented to management prior to the rally by a date to be determined.
This would prevent any nepotism and any cronyism creeping in.
Hi Sabie,
I don't usually buy into this type of discussion but, even though I agree with you in principle, the reality is that these so called "Awards" are just a bit of fun at the National Rally dinner. Sure, they are arbitrary and not particularly serious. Nobody I know comes along hoping to win one. I am not being critical of your comment, in fact, as I said, I agree, I guess I am just saying, don't stress about something that is not that important. Are you gong to be at Toowoomba?. If so, Ros and I look forward to catching up with you.
Cheers
Dick

Hi Sabie
Sorry our limited leadership skills and decisions have again displeased you. I guess we will have to try and apply ourselves even further. :Stirpot :grin
We are learning that to see the club grow in a direction it is so very important to listen to feedback from all members. The feedback that we regularly receive is reassuring us that the club is heading in the right direction for the overwhelming majority of people, and that I think is the best we can hope for for a club that is informal like ours.
It may be the 10 hr shift I just finished but I know that if I borrow a free book from the library and I dont enjoy it I dont continue to read chapter after chapter of the book I dont enjoy and I dont agree with, I put it back on the shelf and grab another book and see if it is to my liking.
Good njght all and cant wait to see you all at Toowoomba.

Thanks for the ozstoc lesson, even though i knew how the "group" is/was based on or made up. You want to jump on me for using the word committee, then how about group, team, cluster, squad, unit, gang,, band, panel (just pick one that sits ok with you) just as well we don't have a national rally organizing committee, what are you calling them??? t must be a national rally organizing something.
And Pokey, I didn't make you respond after a 10 hour shift, you chose to, please don't insinuate you've had to in order to accommodate me. I take it by your library book reference you're asking me to leave the "Club" or find another club to join. Why is it nobody can voice their opinion or have an alternate view or opinion contry to the management ??? (well not a committee it seems)
and Dick, yes I know its for a bit of fun but its still got to be fair and equal and thats why I suggested to place the selection I to state Representatives and definitely not a committee and away from the clique that exists.

Thats it folk, get back on track before I get out the stick.. :law

Biggles, you can catch him up.
Lets say you're 15 and harieg is 45. He is three times as old as you.
In fifteen years, you'll be 30 and he'll be 60. Now he's only twice as old as you. Simple arithmetic.
I'll bring my special calculator to the National Rally.
But I digress.

Hey does my ST have a timing belt? Who’d a thought…
That’s the downfall of doing ones own maintenance - one tends to overlook important stuff.
I’m on 110,000km. Is there a thread somewhere I can read up on about this timing belt thingy so I can have something to worry about on the ride up?

I deduce our revered maroon was causing your difficulties, Pezzz.
It seems we're in for black and gold next year. Gold with black letters, I'd hope. Black shirts get very hot in the sun...

I'm talking free no charge ... Even if you want to base yourself here and go exploring the sunny coast that's all ok by us.. We're located right in the middle of the Sunshine Coast, about 30 minutes to Noosa to the north and the same to Caloundra in the south and 10 minutes from the highway.
Maroochydore is about 15mins as is the beach at Mudjimba. It's only Pauline and I at home and you'd be very welcome.

I've just read your post Jack & Una CoolCoomans and if Wollongong is a practical place for u to do a stay and look-see then you're welcome here and I/we would b more than chuffed to show the local highlights which I think u would enjoy, if, of course, this message reaches u on time. If, not I'm still looking good to get to Toowoomba on the 20th and see u there. Enjoy your trip.

The Saturday Rally Dinner meal is $25 per head and we need to have definite final numbers to the venue by Thursday afternoon......

safe travels to all.
really looking forward to seeing everyone!

Bike is loaded, just need to wake up, fill up the camelpack then head off for some fuel then its away we go... (I'd get fuel now, but I need every drop I can get for the first leg, and would rather fill it up to the absolute top then head straight off.. less chance of not having the tank full full)
Hopefully tomorrow ends up as Atherton to Roma for an overnight, then onto Toowoomba on friday... NOW IM GETTING EXCITED :candystwheelie

Trying to make it for dinner Saturday. Can't get to anything else. Tried to PM a couple of people but no response. Won't know until later in the week. Is it possible to arrange something?
Sean.
Hope to see you!

Be awesome if you can make it. Looking forward to meeting you :grin

Well half of us are on the road.
Jacinta has to work so we will meet at Manilla 3.30 head to Armidale. Then an easy but warm ride to Toowoomba tomorrow.
Be safe on the road and looking forward to seeing every one there.

I'm very jealous of all you OzSTOCers who have been on the road for a day or three already! :grin Nothing beats a decent long ride. I just have a short squirt of 2 hours from Brisbane to look forward to tomorrow.
Keep cool, stay hydrated. See y'all tomorrow. Dave & Jenny

I'm hoping somebody is monitoring this thread while the festivities are in progress. I was supposed to be riding up to join the ride tomorrow, but I have just got back from Tassie and I am stuffed. I may ride up to Esk, but only expect me if you see me.
Please pass this on if you read it to those who need to know so that I don't show as a missing rider. I'm not missing, I'm just resting!
Hope you are having fun!

No worries bluey. If we see you we see you :D

Home! after 500 km for the weekend on the bike and tens of thousands of km of laughter.
PC should get another award for going to 2 Pubs and one licenced Restaurant and still managing to collapse from dehydration. Glad to see you were OK this morning PC!
Thanks everyone for a very enjoyable weekend.

Home a couple of hours ago after finding our way out of Toowoomba in today's fog. Nice cool ride down the valley.
Started raining at our place not long after we got home. Mt Glorious after Esk would have been awful, so good call to give it a miss.
444 km for us Very impressed Mrs Biggles pillioned all of that cheerfully.
Lotsa pix to be downloaded.

First Rally for Sandra and I. A job well done by anyone involved in making it happen.
Many thanks.

Home just before 1pm. Made my way to Esk alone. ( It is actually on my way home so no need for accolades ) Not long after arriving, I was joined by a few southerners and 1 Kiwi. After a brief chat with said southern folk, the plan was to escort Rob around Somerset Dam and bid him farewell at Kilcoy Beerwah intersection. About 4 k's out of Kilcoy, the road was closed due to an accident. We did a U turn and headed back towards Kilcoy and then detoured via Villeneuve to Woodford. Dropped Rob out to the turnoff to Beerwah and waved him off. Rode through a few showers but nothing that made it too uncomfortable on an ST.
The worst part was probably the pea soup fog all the way from the park out to Cabarlah.
All in all, a fantastic weekend. Great to meet a lot of folk from the forum.
A huge CONGRATULATIONS to all those who had a hand in organising this years rally, particularly to the long-suffering wives who are all unsung heroes and an integral part of this team. :-++ :-++
A meagre 590k's for the weekend for me. :grin

We arrived home about 12.30 safely after a slow ride with trailer got a little better after a fruit/veg/meat stop.
rebuild will commence tomorrow with a strip down..
Had a bloody great time as usual and made new friends as usual.
The dinner was bloody great and I enjoy my pork.
PC have you had some more water yet.
Lesley came with me for the first time and as a pillion for the second time in her life handled it with ease (first time was 1970)
Unpacked everything and had a coffee then wanted to start all over again as was first ride since last AGM.
So come on Perth.
Sorry no pics from me but there was hundreds taken.

A big big thanks guys.
I'd say, best rally yet.

Home at 3pm. Alison and I were blown away with the generosity and friendliness of all the OZSTOC members. Went home via Esk Bakery , said final farewells to those who made it to Esk.
Can't wait to catch up with people on RTE s and now have a goal to complete a Far Ride . Only downside found out that the internal waterproof lining of my new OZSTOC jacket is too short by about 4 inches. So got wet. Small price to pay for such a magnificent weekend.
A special nod to all who organized the get together. It was magnificently prepared and seemed to run like clockwork .

Chilling out in Lismore after a great ride down to Tenterfield then 150km along the Bruxner drizzling most of the way until we stopped to put our wetties on. As usual fine for the rest of the trip. Ros and I really enjoyed the weekend and met heaps of great new people as well as catching up with old friends. Congratulation to all those people involved. Perth is definitely in the diary.

Well Teela and I are home safe, it has been a full on few days, taking out the rally ride I covered 8km on the bike....so it was a 168km total trip!
it was a sensational event, and loved every minute of it, huge thanks and handshakes to Wild Rose and PC, as between the 3 of us it all went smoothly, with a minimum of fuss!
this is my favourite time of year for sure, bring on WA!!
the photography from this year is going to be sensational! here is a shot given to me by one of the photographers, I am impatiently waiting for the rest...no pressure to get them done of course

Jenny and I are home after an uneventful trip home to Brisbane. Short but sweet; we stopped for a coffee and bun at Fernvale Bakery, then over Mt.Glorious - a slow trip in the wind, rain and fog with lots of leaf litter and a fallen tree to navigate!
As first-timers at a National Rally we had an absolute blast this weekend! It was great to see so many who had come so far and it was a pleasure to meet lots of new faces.
To everyone who had a hand in organising this event - THANK YOU !! I know it was over a year in the planning, and the plans paid off. Everything went so smoothly ( if there were any glitches, they passed in-noticed).
Saturday's ride was excellent: from the pre-ride briefing, smoko at Rudd's Pub at Nobby, to Lunch at Leyburn; all excellent.
The Rally Dinner at Regents on the Lake was terrific too. A great meal and many stories and laughs.
Congratulations to all award winners - particularly to Diesel and Streak on their Life Membership.
Now to start planning for PERTH 2016 👍👍

We wandered home and arrived about 2:45pm all safe and sound.....but the road was still calling :think1
So as Pockey was back to work in the morning I jumped back on STig and headed for the Coast in search of ST's and knew just where a couple where staying the night on the North Coast.....so crashed their little party.....you should have seen their faces as I was talking to them on the phone pretending to be at home and road rode into the park they where staying up to their front door :nahnah
So favourite breky spot on the coast tomorrow and a run up the waterfall way :runyay

Congratulations to the organisers for putting on one of the best rallies I have ever attended. Bring on WA.
I apologise for arriving at the rally site a day early so I could attend to some business. The park managers were pleased to take some extra money. Also I extended my stay in the caravan park for another day after the rally finished. I hope you can forgive me. I'll try to do better next year.
For those who asked, I completed an SS1600 on the way back. It was to be an SS2000 but I encountered a storm just north of Gundagai so I made Gundagai the turn point for home.
-
Well, arrived home today, just ahead of a heavy storm. Thought I might have got damp on the way out of Toowoomba when the sign said road to Goondiwindi "CLOSED". Turned out ok as the water had gone down by the time I got there.
Great trip down the Newell, had to refill cooling system at Narrabri, but other than that, great.
Thanks to all for a fantastic rally and looking forward to the next one as well as other RTE's along the way.
Special thanks to Tipsy for the radiator cap and johnnyYTED for the cabin share.
Don't forget 27/28 June at Gulargambone and everyone keep it safe.
Cheers

I got back at 3pm this afternoon. All up 3000 kms for ride that should only take 2200km. On the way back stayed in Tamworth after doing the Gwydir highway (the shortcut to it before Glen Innes is the Bald Knob road, so how appropriate after the weekend :thumb ) and then from Grafton up to Ebor the back way. Went New England and the freeway back as rain was forecast on all routes home, so plans to go through the mountains by a few ways with another overnight stop over were put on hold. Only got a bit wet after Sydney in the pouring rain but dried out soon after - not bad enough to stop to put on inner lining and wet weather pants.
Thanks for a great time all - it is the people who go to these events that make them so enjoyable :runyay
-
Well Denis Diane are home safely after great time. We had very hot trip up but enjoyed our first long ride. Thanks to the organisers you couldn't better what you provided for us. The ride home was cooler and arrived couple off days early as 700k days were enjoyed and Vic did not disappoint as cold and wet last hour. 3900ks for the week and not one idiot on the road so very happy. Denis Diane.
-
Well done to all for a great weekend , I am in Bathurst tonight drying out clothes got hit with rain 30 Kay's out of Mudgee all the way to Bathurst had to stop at Sofala couldn't see the road. Did see Saaz on the way into Scone.
-
My thanks as well to the organisers and the great people who make up the club. What a great weekend (except for the weather :)), meeting so many great people and looking at the work some (others...) do on their machines. Thanks to all who attended and organised this wonderful event.
I had a great ride up the coast and through Kyogle to Toowoomba and then an interesting and dry (only just though) ride back via the new England and Thunderbolts way.
-
Ros and I arrived home this afternoon about 4.30pm after a diversion to Lismore via the Bruxner then Summerland Way, Grafton Road and Waterfall Way to Armidale last night before scooting down the New England to Muswellbrook to take a dampish run down the Putty Road home. 2250Kms all up.
Thanks to the organisers for all their work which was greatly appreciated. We caught up with heaps of old friends and came away with a bunch of new ones.
We already have Perth booked in diary for next year.

After leaving Toowoomba Theresa and I called in at the Esk Bakery (along with a few other rally attendees) before heading for afternoon tea at my brothers in Brisbane. We were about to head for the airport when the heavens opened and I got to take Theresa to the airport in my brothers IS350 Lexus in the heaviest rain I have driven in for a long time. So Theresa arrived home late Sunday night and after a cup of coffee with atoyot in Orange I am now in Wodonga. Jut over 7,900 kms since leaving Perth.
-
We were riding around Brisbane in that rain heading from my friend's place to my sister's.
-
Thank you to the organizers of this years rally.
I had a great time and met so many wonderful and strange people .... strange are those who were NOT riding ST's! lol. :rofl
tipsy ....... you should see the bruise on my leg where I caught your bike ........ fkn HUGE! will try and et a photo but it is a great reminder of the great time I had.

It was definitely a decent shower. I drove from Toowoomba to Brissy in it. Not the heaviest I've driven or ridden in by any means though
-
bris to gin gin was even worse!!!!! I was slowed down to 30 kph and had water sacks in the sleeves of my waterproof jacket!
-
We got stuck behind a caravan in the hills north of Glen Innes and it must have been immediately after a heavy rain because we got quite wet from the spray. Other than that we had a dry slightly cool ride until the coastal plains where it was quite warm.
Nice stopover at the showgrounds in Armidale though.

Hope all made it home safely :like
Man killed in Toowoomba region motorcycle crash
UPDATE: Police are investigating a fatal traffic crash that occurred yesterday near Emu Creek.
Between 4.30pm and 5pm a motorcycle and a white sedan crashed while travelling in opposite directions on Pierces Creek Rd, between Brothers Rd and Woolshed Rd near Emu Creek north of Crows Nest.
The male motorcycle rider, believed to be in his 50s and travelling with a group of riders died at the scene.
The 28-year-old female driver of the sedan was transported to Toowoomba Hospital with minor chest injuries.
Another man in his 50s was also taken to Toowoomba Hospital suffering emotional stress from the incident.
The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating.
EARLIER: A motorcycle rider was fatally injured yesterday afternoon about 4.30pm when the bike he was riding collided with a car.
Officers from the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service attended the scene on Blackbutt Range Rd at Emu Ck just north of Crows Nest.
A spokesperson said State Emergency Service staff were still at the scene late last night.
-
I hope this was none of us.

Right area, but none of the OzSTOCers went that way, especially in a group, that I'm aware of.
We would certainly have heard through our network by now, if it was an ST rider.

I got to Stimpy's place just before 6pm, so it was the same storm. As I said, respectable, but definitely not the worst I've been through :eek
-
That would have been the one.
-
Danny and I made it home today, got rained on pretty bad around Sydney for about a hour, but other then that weather was perfect.
Glad QLD could put on some cooler conditions for us, that was very thoughtful.
4,600km round trip. shortest day aside from the rally run was Toowoomba to Coffs harbour the rest was 600+ days
Russell Day Long seat is amazing once again lives up to the hype.

My little trailer and I home 6pm today. Just under 2,000km all up including the trip to my Daughters.
BIG thank you to all involved in the organising and running of the best rally yet, and to all members who attended and made it so. Well done all.
-
A close call for me on the way home. At the Commissiones flat turn off I was following IanB pouring rain and could just see Ian's bike. I noticed Ian move to the left of the road and thinking it was water on the road I followed his track. Out of the gloom a black SUV appeared just a metre or 2 in front of me turning right. I missed him by inches. If I hadn't moved to the left and followed Ian's track I'd have hit the back of the black SUV.
I'm glad Ian could see where he was going....
Hope all made it home safely :like

how are the rest of our travellers going? hanging out to see ride reports and photos and everyone is home safe!

Just pulled into Albury for a hot chocolate .... Bloody freezing out here ...

Only casualty was a pair of jocks....
good to here you are alrigth Sabie

We were riding around Brisbane in that rain heading from my friend's place to my sister's.
Passed you on the way into work on Monday.... you were heading south on the M1
-
Sabie .... very glad to hear the casualty was jocks only!
I must have been an hour in front of you as I just missed the rain on commissioners flat road and decided to go the 'long way' over the top and just over the hill got SMASHED by the rain..... absolutely SMASHAROOD!!!!!!!!
Thankfully I had someone in front of me with bright tail lights so I just followed that with plenty of breaking room.
I did get a bit of Jock wear just out side of Gin Gin when my front wheel started aquaplaning! ..... that is one scary feeling! I think the trailer dragging me may have helped keep me upright ...... or it was just superior riding skills and not panicking like a little 5 year old and grabbing the breaks.
-
Just completed a 560km stretch into Ensay on the Great Alphine road , on the boat tomorrow night but the weather for Melbourne tomorrow is for rain just what I want a full wet day in Melbourne. But the weather today from Ulladulla was great.

it was the Commissiones flat turn off we went up and over too to be able to have a white line to follow. Ian had 3 or more cars in front of him so with the heavy rain, the spray and my glasses fogging up I lost vision except for Ians taillights. Ii missed the black suv by literally 1 or 2 inches at 80kph.
have you given any thought that the trailer may have contributed to the front aquaplaning due to the lift znd drag force on the front wheel??
-

Probably ... i was more worried about getting out of Brisbane ... it is a lot bigger than i thought. Sydney at 2pm was very confusing and nerve wracking. Canberra at 5pm and again at 8:30 this morning was just cruisey .... and Melbourne at 5:30pm was rather daunting today.
-
Pezzz, me thinks you will be glad to get back to sunny Perth.
-
Not looking forward to negotiating Sydney this morning

-

I hadn't actually thought that might be an issue ......... but what I do know was that I am due for front tyre replacement so there definitely would not have been much (any) water dispersion and I did hit the sheet water at a reasonable clip.
a good mixture of both actually.
By the way .... Ned Kelly sends his hellos.
-
Tipsy ..... here is the love bite your beloved machine gave me.
:o
OUCH! :cuss
-
"Canberra at 5pm and again at 8:30 this morning was just cruisey .... "
Probably because Canberra is a planned city and the Canberra Council does a reasonable job with road maintenance. Although they are likely to stuff up the traffic flow by installing a light rail system.
-
Tipsy ..... here is the love bite your beloved machine gave me.

Wow I hope its not as bad as it looks and thanks for the catch.

nah .... its WORSE! :rofl :rofl
Really just looks bad.
I was telling a mate up here about it and the 'charismatic' nature of your bike and your nick name and he said ..... it it tips over all the time why didn't you just let it go ?' and I was like ...... if I had any sort of brains I would have. !
lol.

Arrived home at 1630 today after 3200 klm's and just back in after a nice welcome home feed of Thai at the club. I will get around to a ride report soon but I had a ball negotiating the Putty road yesterday :thumb
-
Hi All,
Went directly to the Esk Bakery on Sunday am from where we were staying out at Meringandan, a good ride with a few Ozstoc's pulling in on their way towards home or onward journeys. Our apologies, we missed saying farewell to everyone, also a big thank you to the organisers for a job well done, it was a great weekend.
Got home safe on Wednesday evening, 3,790 kms, our ST1300 never missed a beat as usual, the weather was a real mixed bag but nothing us Melbournians haven't seen before!!
Enjoyed the ride Murwillumbah to Kyogle, also Mullaney via Dunedoo into Dubbo, makes a change from the Newell.
Cheers

The seat is fitted and polished and looking great, thanks again Johnny :thumbs

I got home 1910 friday after 9771 klm, great ride, great Rally with great people. :clap
The Yamaha ST1200 performed faultlessly, had a 10,000 klm service at Port Augusta only $125 :thumbsup
The STealth grey paint must work as no speeding tickets Yet ++
Rained from 100 klm east of Norseman to just before Southern Cross so you can imagine what the Coolgardie roadworks were like :OldMan
Spent the morning cleaning the red mud off the bike and wet weather gear :||||
See you all in Perth next year
:grin :blk13 :grin

Finally home in Tassie to some fine weather and 5500kms completed with the old 1100 not missing a beat

Jack and una home on Saturday 28 th march.
Left Toowoomba and headed up to woombye, for a few days, left there on Wednesday to head home, got to Bonny hills in nsw on Thursday, then on Friday took a brain storm and decided we were going home, so we left at 10.30 am on Friday and got home at 04.30 on sat morning, was a short 1280 kms lol.
Had a great time at rally, thanks to all who participated,
And a special thanks to all the guys who helped to organise it, both the head guys and the ones helping behind the scenes. Hope you all had fun.

Do you know when the Coolgardie roadworks are scheduled for completion?

Any chance within the next 5 days?

Friday and got home at 04.30 on sat morning, was a short 1280 kms lol.
So you're over-qualified as a FarRider. :thumbsup
Now you just need to do a 1000 kay round trip (or one way) to a FarRide RTE to get your FarRider number.
-
Hi Pezzz, don't think so, all sealed except for 2 to 3 klm, if it's dry you should have no trouble.
:grin :blk13 :grin
-
OK hoping for dry ... very wet today and slow going.

Hahahaha biggles, I did the trip, but Rhonda the Honda was on the trailer, and I was in the car, so unfortunately I don't think it would count, lol

I arrived home late on Friday night travelling along the coast road.
Rode along the Great Alpine Road, God it lives up to its name, also dame cold at 5pm on top of Mt Hotham.
I had to do an emergency rear tyre change yesterday in Ouyen, the local tyre dealer had never done a motorcycle tyre before & didn’t want to try, I asked the local auto electrician and he allowed me to use his workshop to do the tyre change. I got a new tyre couriered up from Mildura, 5 hours later back on the road.
Had a ball and now home safely after 5800 Klm's travelled.

Did anyone else notice an abnormal amount of traffic light cameras in Toowoomba? Seemed every light I went through fired off my TomTom alert

Lots of hoons and scoff-laws up there. :OldMan
If I lived in a relatively small city with that many traffic lights, I think I'd get tired of stopping every block for red lights, especially in the middle of the night/ early morning.

We don't want any southern Bogans coming up here and tearing up our streets and wearing them out... Next you'll try and convince us to adopt daylight saving and fade our curtains with that extra hour of sunshine....

Officers from the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service attended the scene on Blackbutt Range Rd at Emu Ck just north of Crows Nest.
A spokesperson said State Emergency Service staff were still at the scene late last night.
I can provide an update on this crash. The deceased was Andrew H (from Melbourne Western suburbs). He was one of the six friends Derek and I were meeting at Esk on Saturday 21 March.
After a night in Esk and two at Rainbow Beach, we were heading for a night at Crows Nest when the crash occurred. None of us witnessed the crash, so we don't know what really happened. The Police have told us that it was a high speed head-on and Andrew was most likely killed instantly - we take that to mean he didn't suffer.
Andrew is survived by his wife Karen (no kids), our thoughts and prayers are with her.
RIP Andrew
The other 50 yo taken to hospital was one of the other riders, he was first on the scene and tried to help until emergency service personnel attended, he took things pretty hard at the time, but is okay now.
-
RIP Andrew & condolences to Karen and his family & friends
-
Williamson, I'm so sorry to hear that you've lost a friend in such tragic circumstances.

Thank you for advising us of this tragic accident, it must be hard for all of the riders with that group. My condolences to the family and those close friends around him.

Home today after National meet and around 5,280km.
Rode from Cessnock to Oberon on Saturday, through the rain that stopped the horse racing. I like my OzSTOC jacket, but it ain't water proof.

Perhaps a post count increment can be applied if the post contains at least 25 words in at least one meaningful sentence.
em-thingies may be liberally applied but not included in the word count.
Such a rule would decimate some of the supposed post counts we see on the Forum.

After 5 weeks and 5 hours, 12,863 kms, over 620 litres of fuel at a cost of over $900 I arrived home today with Theresa who besides joining me for a weekend in Sydney and again in Brisbane for the rally also joined me in Adelaide for the final 3,000 kms.
During a weeks stopover in Victor Harbor on the way home I had a total of 3 days when I actually didn't ride the bike.

Rob’s finished his first loop. The bike’s parked up in the Blue Mountains and I’ll continue the Oz trip later in June.
Thanks guys for a fantastic Rally and the riding companionship both up to Toowoomba and then on to Esk.
Here’s where I went afterwards…
11,200 Km
534 litres of petrol

Any chance of purchasing more of the rally patches? Would like one or two more for other jackets.
Good call Pezzz.
I'm kicking myself for not getting more of the previous years patches from Glen :fp
Hi STimpy,
Sorry for such a long delay in replying.
I was sure I had some from both Ballarat and Middleton but can only find two from Middleton.
The cost of these was covered when we did the last issue with a small profit going to OzSTOC so if you want a Middleton one it is yours, shall just leave it to you to give a small donation to OzSTOC. I am sure I could get some more of both Ballarat and Middleton made if these are required.
