Sad to hear Johnny. Hope all is okay?

all good Neale,, juST a change in circumSTances on the day,,,, helping a good friend in need.. I can forgo a ride for a mate.
Also Neale, I did ride the planned route to GlouceSTer while playing in 100 Days of War for FarRiders.

Sorry but I am going to gave to withdraw from the ride as I need to attend a federal budget meeting that very morning. Much rather be in Gloucester with you guys.
On another note I may have to withdraw from this forum as I have recently traded in my much loved ST 1300A on a Harley Switchback . I know I know but sometimes you just have to try something different.
I would still like to catch up with you if at all possible.
Many Thanks
Mothership

STeveo · « **Reply #57 on:** May 06, 2014, 07:21:12 AM »

I'm happy to ride with nice people on Harleys, just not them wankers.

Brock · « **Reply #58 on:** May 06, 2014, 08:55:09 AM »

No need to withdraw from OzSTOC Mothership, we do talk to harley riders, and you will return to the ST....

saaz · « **Reply #59 on:** May 06, 2014, 11:18:32 AM »

No need to leave if the forum and people suit you. I have a Triumph Trophy as well as the ST1100, and I ain't leaving. A federal budget meeting - I had to do them pretty well all my working life in Federal Treasury. Can't say I miss the lead up to this time of year, or post budget work

Must be the riders wanting to obey the speed limits or just wanting to listen to the lovely sounding Hardley exhaust?

ST trying to keep up with a Hardly . . . Hmmm . .

The cops down here tested Hardly's as a Police bike . . . they were not impressed with it as a pursuit bike . . . I loved the sound of mine tho . . . And for cruising it was OK . . . And I think they have improved the reliability . . . Still 400 klm from a 18 ltr tank is extremely good as most are pushing to get 300 ks from the Switchback . . . Nice bike for a cruiser tho . .

Cough Cough. We are trailing so we can pick up the bits that fall off, and be ready to act as a tanker when Johno runs out of fuel.

Hi All,

I have lectures until 11am in Newcastle

I'll head up straight after that so I'll be half an hour late. The ST looks out of place in the Uni carpark but I'm sure it will cope. Look forward to meeting you all.

cravenhaven · « **Reply #69 on:** May 10, 2014, 09:30:51 AM »

I could be running a bit late as I'll be coming up from the South coast. Looking forward to catching up with you all.

Allan

STroppy · « **Reply #70 on:** May 10, 2014, 09:43:24 AM »

BMW Paul and Stephen (also on a BMW) will be leaving Canberra on Tuesday morning, riding via Taralga, Oberon, Rylstone to Denman for the night and doing the 200+ ks to Gloucester on the Wednesday morning to have lunch with you all.

After lunch we are heading along the Buckets Way to Wauhope for the night, Thursday we are forced into doing the Oxley to Walcha then back down thru Gloucester, Dungog, Singleton along the Putty Road to spend Thursday night in Windsor, home on the Friday.

Looking forward to the little ride for lunch.

Hi All,
I am sorry to say I won't be attending now. Due to an old injury whilst serving in the Army, it has now come back to bite me on the rear end. My back has had a collapse and I can barely walk because of a trapped nerve. Already had to ops on it, one in 2000 and one in 2003, now its time for spinal fusion. I will be out of action for several months and I am disappointed in not being able to attend my first ride with you guys. I just had the police brackets mounted which arrived from the UK, a new set of 4 inch 27 watt LED flood/spot light combo added. Also new tyres, brake pads and HID headlights. The best of all are the beautiful staintune exhausts that I purchased through this forum. Oh well the sted is back in it's stable, there to sit for a few months. When I'm back on my feet I will be like a man possessed and I will be attending as many rides I can, after some serious training. Once again sorry to all those attending, I was so looking forward to meeting you all at Gloucester.
Cheers
Dave (Gibbo)

saaz · « **Reply #72 on:** May 10, 2014, 07:20:24 PM »

Make sure you get better Dave, as backs can be tricky things to fix. Plenty more rides to go to

ST2UP · « **Reply #73 on:** May 10, 2014, 08:12:24 PM »

That's no good at all Dave, looking forward to meeting you when your back on deck :-++look after your self in the meantime

Hi Guys..
I'm a Newbie and haven't been for a ride with you Guys yet but i am keen to go to Gloucester on Wednesday.
I've just come off "P"s.. so i will probably stick to speed limit as i'm still getting the feel of the bike!. My Brother lives at Wingham so I'll
head on up there after. Is there anyone going past the Toronto exit near Newcastle on the Freeway on Wednesday, i could follow you up to
Gloucester.
Cheers. Ron (Harro)
