OzSTOC at the Brisbane Spring Motorcycle Show & Shine 22nd of September

[Streak]

Hello All,
             Diesel and I had planned an OzSTOC display at the risbane Spring Motorcycle Show & Shine 22nd of September, unfortunately he and i are know out of the Equation.

Would any of our fine QLD member like to go along set the bikes up, take the OzSTOC cards and show off who we are?

Event Flyer is Below, it is being organised by the redlands Ulysses, and the Fastor Pastor is also an ST rider so getting a good spot to set up is not a problem :) it would be from 10am-2pm next saturday



Can you give me a call or send me a message if your keen on helping out.

Cheers

I'll stick my hand up for this if you'd like.

I suppose that means I'll have to wash the bike!?!

[Streak]

it would be fantastic to have a few of us there, we dont need to be in the show and shine, just having a display of ST1100 & ST1300 and showing off who we are :)

[Biggles]

I'm going to be there with CMA as per last year, so will try to find where Whizz has secured a spot and park beside him.

[Streak]

We have a couple of takers to man the spot and Talk OzSTOC to the crowds at the Brisbane Spring Motorcycle Show & Shine 22nd of September

Whizz & Bluey have put up their hands, Biggles is going to park his bike with them so there are more than 2 ST's on show.

Does anyone else have a few hours free on Saturday Morning to go and spread the good word? we need just 4 hours of your time 

it would be appreciated greatly if we had a couple more faces that could help out 

Cheers

The organising committee of the show and shine have allocated Ozstoc a traders display area where  we can have a stall, put a few bikes on display and have some good display area!

so we wont be in the corner out of the way

[Skip]

I love to help out guys. What's the plan? What time do we need to be there? Is there a 'secret password' to gain access to the display area?

[Streak]

well if i can get a few of you together, i will confirm all the details but counting you skip there is:

Skip
Bluey
Whizz
Biggles Bike...

so if anyone else has the time, i will get all the information to you, but it is basically, but he bikes together in the the trade area, and talk ozstoc to anyone who stops in and says hello, hand out cards, and talk about what we do and who we are :)

[Skip]

Too easy. 2 Red ones and 2 Blue ones but some company for the lone 1100 would be great.
Mines 'farkle free'. Does that matter?  Lol. 
Looking forward to catching up with you again Whizz and will be good to meet you Bluey. Biggles??? Always good to see you. 
Will you send some cards Streak or can I pop around to see Diesel for some?
Skip.

[Streak]

whizz is going to pop up and see me, and grab a bunch of cards  so that should be sorted :)

[Skip]

Good as gold.

[Whizz]

Sounds like a plan to me! 

[Diesel]

My experience last year as a LONE OzSTOC display bike was a very good one - turned out we had 7 or 8 members show up - even our (at the time) LONE Territorian OzRider.

It's a great day to see some fantastic machinery and rave with some great people in our brotherhood. We even had the ST100 powered three wheeler there from John & June's extensive Mt Tamborine garage.

I even won one of the raffles!            Who'd a thought?

Did I mention it is a great chrity event too - I believe you can display your machine with only a further gold coin donation on top of the entry fee.

Here is a link to last year's event with pics....

Doh! can't find it!         

I think my bike will be in bits on the day - not to mention using up a few riding brownie points lately....         

Enjoy all who attend and get some pics pls.

Cheers, Diesel

[Whizz]

Streak, I'll take a run up the hill tomorrow and drop in to see you, mid to late morning. OK?

[Streak]

Look what I found from last years show and shine, this motley crew stood there and talked ozstoc all day, we even brought in specialists from the NT (OzRIDER)

[Biggles]

Looks like I'm going to have to take 2 shirts along if there's gonna be photos took.

"The Record For The Most OzSTOC Shirts At A Bike Show"

goes to


wait for it,

NOOOO!!!!!

It's Queensland yet again!

[Streak]

Looks like I'm going to have to take 2 shirts along if there's gonna be photos took.

Sounds good to me Mr Biggles, you had better make sure Barry takes his to, Whizz is going to ride up and get some extra Cards off me to hand out  hopefully some of our fantastic Queensland Members  can get away to stop in and say hello to  diesel and i have used up quite alot of our brownie points so we are unable to get there this year...

we could always have people stalk the car parks and tag every Honda ST they find with an OzSTOC Card to :)

[Whizz]

Just got back from what was supposed to be a quick easy run up the hill to Toowoomba. Plan derailed by a) Roadworks and b) a truck crash, both at the bottom of the incline I think I walked the ST up the range! By the time I got to Streaks place I was very hot and sticky and my jacket, jeans and helmet were all soaking wet with sweat!

The Roads in Toowoomba are the most dreadful in Australia without any shadow of a doubt, there are ruts in the Warrego Highway through town that you lose Canberra in (which thinking about it might not be such a bad idea! I reckon they are not roads but a collection of tarmac and concrete slabs loosely joined together at various places by dollops of tarmac.

Called into the pub at Murphy's creek for a beer and sandwich on the way home.

Anyway I now have a couple fo large handfuls of OzSTOC cards for us to shower on unsuspecting riders on Saturday!

[Streak]

Great to see you Whizz, sorry i was so busy, been a touch crazy here today! and he is not wrong he has a BIG handful of ozstoc cards ;)

If I can borrow some funds of the family I will be there guys.

Streak,
Sorry mate but I'm a bit confused as to exactly what, if anything, needs to be "set up" on Saturday. I got the impression from our conversation this morning that it was simply a case of parking the bikes together in a 'trade' area, then standing around answering questions from passers-by as required. I know that you were saying that you were trying to get a flag made up but I didn't think this was going to be in existence for Saturday. You were saying that Fastor Pastor is an ST rider as well (so presumably he might be parking up with us?) and that Biggles would be parking with our group, was that the extent of the 'set-up'? A little more detail, please?
