To get Kawasaki to sponsor a Honda event has to be the achievement of the year and need an award for that.

I thought that from the moment I first read it months ago, but not just the sponsorship but them also arranging the spyders and jet skis was unbelievable. More and more I wish I could have made it.

Hi all, got in yesterday morn with an extra 5 odd thou on the bike. Great trip both socially and physically. All the stops throughout the trip both up and back were fantastic. The bike performed faultlessly.
Great turn out for the big event. Nothing short of brilliant, Many thanks to John and Kate who made it what it was. To get Kawasaki to sponsor a Honda event has to be the achievement of the year and need an award for that.
To all that sponsored/helped in the organization of this big event, thank you. Oh, and thanks all for the award, Mexico is the perfect place for it to be

OK did someone mention Tassie
When do we register?

Thanks Nigel... glad you enjoyed it... Kate took a punt with several potential sponsors and luckily Mackay Kawasaki came through in a big way... Cheers, John & Kate.

After a little over 7,800kms I left the Goldwing resting at Warragamba while I flew home yesterday.
I shall return to Warragamba in a few weeks for a leisurely ride home visiting friends NSW, Victoria and SA along the way.
Theresa and I would like to add our thanks to John and Kate for all the effort put in to making the rally such a success.
We already have Tassie in the diary.

I'm finally making time to process my photos.
Here's another line-up shot, this one at Slade Point group photo location.

Just a bit of an update on my travels back from the Rally , I had to stay in Brissy a few days longer , Penny had to go to hospital with her back she was there for 5 days , left on Saturday stopped at Walcha that night ,I am now in Bathurst after a very wet day heading to Albury tomorrow and the to Melbourne and the Boat , I have just clocked up 6000kms so far for the trip with about another 1000kms to go , the bike will have just over 100,000kms on it by the time I’m home.

I hope Penny is doing better and your boss was understanding about your extended absence.
It seems like an age since Mackay.It will feel like a lifetime until tassie next year.

Phil.S · « **Reply #448 on:** August 27, 2018, 06:45:16 AM »

I am due back to work on Friday 31st ,I was to back 5 days before work now I just have 1 full day before starting , my excursion out to Mildura , Warrnambool and the Great Ocean Road will have to wait for another trip. Thank you for your kind thoughts Penny has improved,I couldn’t leave until I knew she was right.
Hopefully today is better weather wise it is very foggy here in Bathurst this morning.

Phil.S · « **Reply #449 on:** August 27, 2018, 08:40:40 AM »

One thing I did not want to find this morning was a flat tyre ,but the boys at Beard Brothers motorcycles will have me on the road in 1.5 - 2 hrs
