Sounds like we might need to do some sort of East meets West Ozstoc meet, and do something to mark the event to celebrate Ozstoc being back up and running again. Queensland may be left out of this for once :)

Anyone can come on the border run, so see you there harieg. It is just a few extra days riding for those in Queensland.

I just registered for this years border run.

Not that it doesn't mean much as far as the bike is concerned as it just about knows how to get there on it's own after 4 times each way across there.

Heather will be with me as well, so it will be a first for her doing the ride to the border.

Turtle · « **Reply #36 on:** July 10, 2012, 10:04:15 AM »

Will be great to meet you Alan and Heather

I will be camping over the road is anyone else doing the same ?

Mitch · « **Reply #37 on:** July 10, 2012, 10:10:58 AM »

Good morning Turtle.
I'll be camping as well,

will be great to see Allan,Heather and a few others again.

alans1100 · « **Reply #38 on:** July 10, 2012, 11:24:24 AM »

Hi Mitch, Turtle

Be nice to catch up with you as well and we'll be camping as well, wherever that may be. It will also be the first sort of long trip we've done with this trailer rather than just using it for shopping trips....lol.

Turtle · « **Reply #39 on:** July 10, 2012, 11:40:23 AM »

Alan can you bring some firewood in the trailer like fill the whole thing

it's going to be cold I'm sure Like last year it was frosty

While the Border Run is not an Ozstoc ride, seems like a few are planning to go. At this stage I have the following (in no particular order):

Turtle
Alans1100
Malcolm6112
Apache
ATRay
Gavo
Scarp
Mitch
IanB
Saaz
Lionel

I know that within this group there is also a crossover with FarRiders of which there are 53 (58 including passengers) of which I am one. If anone else is going let us know so we can go find you. If you see a white ex police ST1100 likey to be me or Lionel, both with ACT plates.

scarp · « **Reply #41 on:** July 12, 2012, 09:21:48 PM »

So, when is everyone heading out, what routes are you all taking?

Well I have my seat being reshaped and covered so its going to be a good test run to the Border and back fingers crossed or im sitting on my sleeping bag

I guess for us Perth riders we better plan a meet point for the Friday and the overnight stop last year I stayed at Cocklebiddy the night that was my first day then onto the Border next morning Im thinking I will do a camp just past Balladonia food and fuel there then find a camp spot down road with a nice warm camp fire and a port or 2 or 3 or 4

.......... Does anyone else have some suggestions or where they want to stop the night as we all are different riders and its a long run out its about 962kms to Balladonia for the day just shy of 1000kms

So far everything is on track for us, the rear tyre has been changed and so has the oil and filter. Not often those two items get done at the same time. I even managed to lubricate the side stand pivot point as well. I even checked the rear brake pads and after 40,000kms still have about 50% left. Amazingly; when I put it all back together, it still worked.........lol. All I need to do now is organise the trailer etc for our over night stops.

Turtle · « **Reply #46 on:** July 25, 2012, 08:39:03 AM »

So is everyone that has posted still attending ? Malcolm are you still a maybe?

Mitch · « **Reply #47 on:** July 25, 2012, 09:27:52 AM »

Hi Turtle
I'm still going, probably take the trailer and camping gear for a test ride

Malcolm6112 · « **Reply #48 on:** July 25, 2012, 08:21:34 PM »

Looks like I won't be.

Diane is out of the country and that weekend is the Avon. I have two boys competing. I still trying to work it out.
Second farride in a row that has gone botty up.
