Title: Diesel is leaving Queensland....
Post by: Diesel on June 13, 2016, 02:51:02 PM
Mrs Diesel has had a great job offer near Lonnie in Tasmania, so we thought "why the heck not?!!".


The move will be taking place over the next few weeks, so I'll be trying to get out to as many RTEs up here as time permits.


Looking forward to a new adventure and all those great roads and places Tassie offers.      ++


Cheers, Diesel

You're a native of Tassie, aren't you?  I'm sure I've seen a second head popping out at times.     
Or was that the alien?   :rofl

Best wishes for your big move.   It's a significant live change, and a move to a cold wet climate, so you'll have some changes to adapt to.    :hatwave

Make sure you get a big shed and a house with plenty of accommodation as me thinks you will need to house the many OzSToc visitors who venture down there  :grin

Are you taking Wilbur (Mr Ed)?

Hey Diesel,
    Could we possibly miss you as much as you missed us?  :Stirpot   Seriously though, all the best for your move to Tassie. I'm sure that we'll be, among many others, looking forward to future posts about riding around your new backyard. :popcorn

Riding around 'Bike Riding Heaven' can't be all that bad. :grin

Your OzSTOC friends, from that mysterious land between Townsville and Rocky... John and Kate.

We're gonna miss you in Qld, Diesel. . But you'll soon make your mark in Tassie. How long will it take you to put an OZSTOC card on every ST in the State I wonder? Look forward to catching up at Nat Rallies etc.
All the best for a hassle-free move. Cheers, Dave.   STraya
