Enjoy.  They are a wonderful event and supported by some good people.  I've just done Farride Tas No 9, enjoyable weekend for 1601km.

Yeah, what Carsten said but I only managed a paltry 1234kms. The first one is a challenge. Then you're hooked and the rest are for fun!

I would have liked to make that one but unfortunately I can't.  If the weather is OK you'll be fine, but even an ST can't beat the forces of nature!

I will see other Ozstoc members in Nambucca Heads tomorrow or on Saturday.  It might only be Diesel and Streak, but you can't help that    :p

Good luck Streak and keep it upright

I did my first farRide last year to the Border back to Perth and loved it real personal achievement

Good luck and good people to meet with a wealth of info and jokes

Oh it is a Doosy! But it is not for me to say....unless someone's knows a FarRider, cause I  not one yet, so I would ask one of them who came to or is at Nambucca heads ;)
