Luke loves his motorbikes and is happy to support the people who ride them, plus he's not 'sniffey' about the badge.

... we thought so too.

... there's something else that we're working on with Mackay Kawasaki, but it's going to depend on how many OzSTOCers will still be around on the Sunday  ;-*

I wish I could make it (would be on a kwaka too), but the planets haven't aligned for me this year.

Maybe Honda will take note of the support being offered by a competitor.

Mackay Kawasaki very generously offered some financial support to the HONDA ST Owners Club to have their logo on the 2018 NatRally shirt when Honda in Mackay chose not too disite the same offer and the first approach my the Mackay rally team...... Naturally it is any businesses choice to support what they wish.

I'm sure Honda Mackay would enjoy a visit from a member or 2 in the Rally Shirt  :whistle  :whistle .......just say'in  :butt

It is looking increasingly likely that Tipsy will be sharing with 3 other mature age reprobates in the bunk room.
We can always put you on the couch or you can have my larger bed in the other room if you get uncomfortable.
Having shared with the other 3 i know the pain you will be going through  :rofl

Lots of great news posted in the week I have been away. 
I slipped out to Isa on an IBA ride and took my time coming back.
For whatever reason, I can never log-in when away from home, without getting ST2UP to do a fiddle for me.  I even purposefully logged out at home this time before I left and it still wouldn't let me log in.  Hence no Daily Quotes for a week.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

No reason why not. We have the time and enough space. We could do it on Saturday afternoon, at the same time as Shiney's How-To. We can provide a couple of folding tables, since we won't be able to use the MISA for this, they'll be setting up. The Big4 has lots of open grassed areas we can use.

Anyone out there interested in taking this one on and running a thread to set it up?  :Whipped

I'd better do something useful since I'm nominally on the Organising Committee- so now there's a Thread!   :p    :grin
