sorry guys, it's a speedway night for me so can't make it :(

StinkyPete · « **Reply #3 on:** October 14, 2012, 05:25:47 PM »

A tentative "Yes" from me, but I'll need to make it "There and back again" on the one day, as my diary is full on Sunday.

Should be a good trip. A pity I am still not around Coleraine/Hamilton/Dunkeld/Penshurst as those places are where my family originally came from. I will think about this one as I would not mind visiting the old family places again.

Saturday 8th December
"Billy Mac's" at the Naracoorte Hotel

So far we have...
Lonerider 1
StinkyPete
Andrew (StinkyPete's son on a VFR, which at least is red and a Honda)

Any more coming along?

alans1100 · « **Reply #6 on:** November 15, 2012, 08:47:30 AM »

Heather and I are looking at doing this but won't know for sure until closer to the date.

Thinking we might make this a Christmas get together as well........just a thought.

StinkyPete · « **Reply #7 on:** November 15, 2012, 11:05:02 AM »

I've just noticed that this is a 7.00pm RTE at "Billy Macs", which will rule me out, as I need to get back to Adelaide on Saturday.

Any chance we can make it a lunch engagement?

I have rang the Hotel today (15th November) and booked for 4 to 6 people for 12:00 to 1:00pm on December 8th 2012.

StinkyPete · « **Reply #9 on:** November 15, 2012, 12:39:46 PM »

Alan, thanks for making the change from 7.00pm to 12.00 Midday. Andrew and I will be there, and I hope that Heather will be up to the trip, as it'll be nice to catch up again.

Mitch · « **Reply #10 on:** November 15, 2012, 01:02:35 PM »

Hi Alan, a group of us stayed at that pub coming back from the Snowy ride last year, the pub rooms were a good price and the meals were great.
The owner even let us lock our bikes in the beer storage shed for the night.

Pete · « **Reply #11 on:** November 15, 2012, 01:33:08 PM »

Sorry Alan, cannot make it, working on the Saturday at the shop & out at Malalla race track on the Sunday.

Alans1100 and Wildfireangel will be there.

Due to change in time to midday we'll ride down Friday and spend the night at a place yet to be decided which depends on how Heather feels with her still healing leg.

Looks like i might be able catch up with those attending at the lunch. Will probably leave Mildura early Saturday and meet you all at the hotel. The idea of a trip to the caves on Sunday sounds great so i will stay overnight at a place yet to be decided upon, and be in that as well if still in the plan.

When you turn at the pub in Palmer onto the Murray Bridge road, look to the right as you go down a slight slope and you will see our house its a 2 story wooden place set a ways back from the road. Unfortunately I will be at work as you go by

Our route down has changed as I'm getting a quote at YSS Suspension for progressive springs for the front forks and I'm visiting one of my twin grand-daughters as well.

I'll be leaving Adelaide around 7.30 Saturday morning and riding the highway to Keith, and then head south on the Riddoch Highway through Padthway.
My son Andrew has pulled out as he has to work, so it looks like we will have.....

My Ride report for this is here http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=2914.msg29623#msg29623

Thanks to Peter and Rick for turning up.

Heather decided not to go as it's still difficult to get on/off the bike.
