Author Topic: ULYSSES AGM Maryborough 15-21st April OzSTOC (Read 7981 times)

Are there any Ozstoc members going to the Ulysses AGM in Maryborough between April 15 & 21 who I could tag in with for the ride? I'm not a member of any local branch, (having gone on a couple of their club rides, I realise that I'm not old enough to ride that slow yet), and I don't fancy riding that far at 80kph all the way to want to hook up with any of them.

I am however keen to join in the week's socializing and festivities, plus some day rides in the local area. I plan to camp in the grounds, but that side of it is up to you. We can hang together or go our separate ways when we get there, I'm really just looking for company on the ride/rides at this stage. Should be a fun week and a good opportunity to attend when it's so close this year.

Probably looking to leave on the 14th and come back on the afternoon of the 21st. Let me know if you're interested. http://ozstoc.com/Smileys/default/bl13.gif

Should have mentioned in that Post that I'm on Tamborine Mountain Qld, so I could meet riders coming from further South at a meeting point on the M1 near The Gold Coast, (say Macca's at Nerang), and riders to the North could merge at other predetermined points enroute as we proceed to Maryborough. It would be good to see a convoy of ST's passing through the gates. http://ozstoc.com/Smileys/default/think1.gif

Im with you , have gone on a few rides with the Ulysses on the Gold Coast and its just is not for me. I have been playing around with doing the AGM up in Maryborough for some time and if I did go would probably camp also.
I know time is running out so I need to book soon , and if I do decide would also like some company on the ride and on site. I live on the Gold Coast.

I'm going to be there but I'm coming from north so I guess that rules me out of riding there with you. I'll be camping with the party central crew, just keep an eye out for a gold ST1100 ridden by a fat bastard with a beard, it could well be me however the fat bastard with a beard could describe a large number of AGM attendees.

As to the branch riding at slow speed, come and visit us here in Cairns and do a branch ride, no slowpoke riding here you ride at your own pace.. fast or slow as you like. We work on the theory that the whole point is the ride, we can socialise once we get to our destination.

I can verify that.... I was having lunch at the Mareeba Pub when Bear flew past as a gold smudge!

Good onya mate.

Joondalup Ulysses rides tend to be fairly quick as well. Reminds me, I'm leading a ride on Sunday

Well you will just have to have a Ulysses Ozstoc SEction by the sound of it, anyone attending whoe needs OzSTOC cards to find every ST rider you can find I am happy to post, just send me your address

I should be at Maryborough, along with a few other ACT Ozstoc members. I will be riding catchup to get near Maryborough Sunday night for an early arrival Monday to get a camping site together.

ST2UP · « **Reply #8 on:** February 26, 2013, 09:33:26 PM »

We're booked into accom at Hervey Bay just for the last few days of AGM, don't ride with the local New England bushrangers.....they are to quick for me !!!

Hang out with the Boarder Rangers crew generally.....

Mixed bag of bikes....Wing, couple Voyagers, BM trouble you, and my little ST.....

innet57 · « **Reply #9 on:** February 27, 2013, 12:38:51 AM »

Great to hear from you Rob Mc - that's two of us - let's see if we can get some more. I haven't booked yet either, but you can do it online so that's not of great concern. We'll make some definite arrangements for a meet point and times etc in the next couple of weeks.

As for Bikebear's comment - I wish the Brisbane and Gold Coast Club Branches were like that. On the few occasions I've ridden with them you weren't allowed to pass the Ride Leader. Perhaps they've changed that rule?? Riding at your own pace seems a whole lot better to me, especially when you're mobilising a lot of bikes in one bunch. We'll have to try to find an old bearded bastard there I guess???

Sazz - Your ACT guys can possibly meet up with Rob & I on the Gold Coast on the Sunday as you pass by - let us know where you're coming from so we can work in a time. It's about 3.5 to 4hrs from Nerang to Maryborough so we need to get away by say 1pm to get our camps set up before dark.

ST2Up - Like Bikebear we'll have to keep our eye out for you during the week.

Any more takers out there? http://ozstoc.com/Smileys/default/angel.png

Some of us from the ACT are going inland and taking a leisurely three days to get to Maryborough.
See you up there.

Rob Mc · « **Reply #11 on:** February 27, 2013, 05:03:02 PM »

Sounds good Wayne , I will probably book next week and start to get my dinky little tent ready.
Rob

Diesel · « **Reply #12 on:** February 27, 2013, 05:29:21 PM »

Watch out you two! The first time Streak and I toured the highways and byways together and stayed in tents, our sharp-witted better halves exclaimed thata we were "Brokeback Motorcycling'

Lucky we love 'em or we might have to thrown 'em out the window!

Enjoy!

Cheers, Diesel

My Tent's pretty Dinky too Rob, but bit keeps me dry and holds my gear -what more do you want - Hilton Camping?

innet57 · « **Reply #14 on:** February 27, 2013, 08:03:14 PM »

Diesel - you are forgetting - what happens on the road or at the AGM - stays on the road or at the AGM!

innet57 · « **Reply #15 on:** February 27, 2013, 08:10:51 PM »

Rob - be warned - I snore, fart, cough and talk loudly in my sleep, (so they tell me) - could be a good idea to put a couple of tents between me and you to let some other poor bastard suffer the consequences.

Wild Rose · « **Reply #16 on:** February 27, 2013, 09:52:04 PM »

I am also staying at Harvey Bay for 3 nights 18th-21st April. Hoping to catch up with a few ST'ers at Maryborough

Rob Mc · « **Reply #17 on:** February 27, 2013, 11:40:46 PM »

Damn straight.. I'll be towing a trailer so I'll have a 4 man tent for myself with a stretcher, 12v DC power pack to run lights, charge phone and tablet, an esky to keep food and beers in and a small stove to cook on if I want to. If your gonna spend a week in one place it may as well be comfortable..

I'll be camping at Party Central which is right at the southern end of the showgrounds, my tent will have a Rainforest Riders flag

saaz · « **Reply #24 on:** April 10, 2013, 03:47:59 PM »

I will be with a group, 2 of us have police ST11s so not hard to find. Gold STs are common so may be hard to find
