Am definatly planning to attend. Question is as I will be coming from Warwick wether to go from Clifton across to Gatton to meet up, or be quicker to go to Toowoomba and down the hill? Any suggestions?

Hey STeveo. Depends where you are planning to join the 'train'.
If you are thinking of Esk, I would do Clifton/Gratham Road, out through Gatton, straight across the highway onto the Gatton/ Esk Road. You might want to check what Streak is planning and meet up with him somewhere.

Thanks Skip. I don't know that area very well and i will be leaving Tamworth in the dark to make lunch in one go, so anywhere before the lunch stop would be fine.

Hey Steveo,
Happy to meet up with you along the way, send me a message with your travel plans?

After a short run today ... Started at Capalaba Macca's @ 8:30 , up onto the gateway to Dohles rocks rd, through Petrie and onto Dayborough by this time ambient temp was 30* . Kept riding through to Sanford village now 33* . So after a cold drink I rode another hour in this heat home.
May I suggest an earlier start to the ride day to avoid some of the heat..

Brian · « **Reply #54 on:** October 22, 2012, 06:43:34 PM »

Just a reminder this is next SUNDAY!!!!!

Sorry mate - meant to reply sooner. The main reason for this time is that the kitchen at Cabarlah doesn't open until 12 noon.

I hear you on the heat tho - hopefully there's some truth in what Alan Skip Wilkie was saying about cooler weather being here.

Cheers, Diesel

Good onya Diesel. Remember the last time I made a weather prediction. The ride home from Murphy's Creek prompt your memory.

Yeah. Not so funny now is it.
Cheers mate. See ya Sundy.
Skip.

On last Sundays ride someone mentioned the ambient temp was about 31* to this I replied its only 24* but you are always 'COOLER' when you ride a Goldwing....

Whizz · « **Reply #59 on:** October 22, 2012, 09:30:51 PM »

STeveo,
Further to what Skip said, Warwick to Esk via Clifton is a wild road, its 147Ks and Google maps says it'll take 2hr 10 minutes. Warwick to Esk via Willowbank, Walloon and Blacksoil is 178Ks and Google says 2hrs 16 minutes! 30Ks extra for 6 minutes more, this will give you an idea of what the Clifton road is like, I know I did it a few weeks ago!!! not a road to be doing at the end of a long haul!. Your choice but I'd think seriously about it if I were you!

Diesel and entourage are expecting to hit Esk at about 11:00, and I'll be going up to Esk via Willowbank to be there for then, so if you want to meet up we can. Drop me a PM if you'd like.

Diesel · « **Reply #60 on:** October 22, 2012, 10:55:05 PM »

Well - took this pic of my bike tonight.......

Better pull me finger out if I am to ride out wiff ya's on Sundee!

Cheers, Diesel

Brian · « **Reply #61 on:** October 23, 2012, 05:20:34 AM »

You'd have R&R (remove & refit) down to an art, 5 minutes tops

Aj1300 · « **Reply #62 on:** October 23, 2012, 06:27:36 AM »

Diesel, are you going for the naked look?

you are getting too much heat from the motor, that's one way to fix it

Diesel · « **Reply #63 on:** October 23, 2012, 08:50:13 AM »

OK - back on track.....

I will try to assemble at "A" on this map - or if that is not allowed, or dangerous - look for STs in the carpark around "B" on the map - either way, you won't miss us. (zoom out to get more bearings if you need to).

PS - for those of you with UHF radio - channel 13 is the OzSTOC channel when on group rides.

STeveo · « **Reply #64 on:** October 23, 2012, 04:03:32 PM »

Thanks for the info fellas, I think I will just go straight through Toowoomba and meet you at the Cabarlah Hotel at lunchtime.

Biggles · « **Reply #65 on:** October 23, 2012, 08:43:37 PM »

Returning to the earlier hijack- you aren't seriously going to go out in public with those humungous cannons on the top of the bike, are you Diesel!?

saaz · « **Reply #66 on:** October 23, 2012, 08:47:19 PM »

I have some on my bike Biggles, and you hardly notice them

I have tidied up and pruned the thread back to slightly more relevant.
