I'm good mate its only the worn out knee problem both of them. the problem has been getting worse over the last 6 mths and it means no RTE's until they are fixed.

Just be careful fellas - Tipsy is likely to have the barbie cooking and the beer running - it could be weeks before we get out of there!       :eek                 :-++ :-++ :-++

Thanks to all for your kind words - you ALL helped make it a fantastic weekend.     :thumbs

Now - how to top this one at Victor Harbour???       :think1

Now - how to top this one at Victor Harbour???       :think1

The ride alone will top Blackheath for us Queenslanders.  Going to be a bit harder to impress the South Ozzies and Victorians.
Apart from that, I've never been to Victor Harbour, so there's another first.  Might be a few more riders like me.
So with the great ride they're cooking up for us down there we're well on the way to another winner.   :runyay

At Biggles & Diesel

Victor Harbor is the correct spelling which is spelt the American way. There's more to it but I'll put the Wiki link in for those interested.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Harbor,_South_Australia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_Harbor,_South_Australia)

There's a few good bike roads in the hills South of Adelaide but most of them are down to 80kph these days which is annoying when you used ride/drive them at 110kph without incedent.

Shoot Diesel- we're in the gun!  Who would have thought the South Ozzies would be so perverse as to misspell their own town!?

BTW, I think you meant "incident".   :grin

bringing the post back to Tipys,

my idea is the north siders meet at caltex carseldine at say 9:00, ride down beckett road , kelvin grove road across to the story bridge, wynum road to whites road, into alex hills then down to vicky point and Tipsu's.

drink all his coffee, eat all his biscuits annoy him cause he cant ride, then continue down to koala park to carbrook  tanah merah hit the motor way and then head back up over the gateway to carseldine.

BUT feedback IS required,    other groups can meet up along the way

and of course we will probably have to ask Tipsy, IF he wants us there, our bubbling conversation about all things ST and our SPARKLING Wit

That sounds great to me Harie.  I think Tipsy will be scrambling for his camera to snap 5-10 STs in his driveway!!!!        :crackup

Now - for the official name.... since we've had "Drinksy with Jinxy"... how about we call this one.....   wait for it........  "Tripsy for Tipsy".... right - I'm off now to GET A LIFE!     :fp                :rofl :rofl :rofl

Tipsy is staying very quiet about all this.  Maybe someone should ring him to check he's not going into hiding just because we're coming to take photos of Diesel massaging the offending knees   :eek

OK the 19 it IS   all OK on that,  now can Streak make that day ?

what about the rest of the Caboolture mob, are you in
the South East Queenslanders from OUR west ((note for Brock)) can catch up at Kangaroo point area

OK Tipsy

for the RTE Tripsy to Tipsy to work we need the following

lots of beer
sausages
bread
beer
coffee
biscuits
beer
some fast women
beer

have i missed anything so far ???
oh yes MORE beer

as it is too far to include the Esk bakery in this RTE
I will toss some penny's into the pot to cover the beer and other stuff

I have spoken to Streak - and OzSTOC is putting up $50 towards the cost of the above items - although I fear the 'fast' women will be VERY FAST for this amount!       :rofl :rofl :rofl

I recommend that maybe each of us could bring a packet of:

Peanuts or soft drink or potato chips or other nibblies.

I will bring paper plates and eating weaponry.

I think the Esk bakery would be a very long haul considering the detour to Vicky Point, and most of it would be on boring freeway, quick but mind-numbing!. Maybe we save the Esk bakery for another day? Harie, did you say you were intending coming across the Story Bridge, i.e. riding through the City? I don't care just trying to think where we can meet up.

I would need to work out a mod to fit those dirt drag spoon tyres, and then I could go direct line. Dont think I could do there n back in 6 days but. I think the boss might notice my absence and doc me pay. Might just have to give this one a miss

in defense on the aspersions made about my latest mount
i will add the following
have owned over 23 Honda's in the last 59 years,

from 50cc side valve step through, up to 1100 cc ST's
have ridden a 65cc step through down the gold coast highway
at 80 Kilo per hour, ducked down behind the handle bars
riding the HONDA highway white line while the traffic was doing 40 Kilo per hour

been pinched for doing 170+ kilo from Bulahdela to Raymond Terrace,
that's a story i may post one day

i have admired the BMW from afar all my life, BUT never have had the urge to go our and buy one    "heaven forbid"

the ride on the back of B n M's bike was good fun, i was able to trust his riding,

the 3 things i tried hard at were

sit still and not fidget
stay vertical through the axis of the bike, and NOT lean in to the corners
try to force myself to relax each time i found my body starting to stiffen up

I am glad I was offered the ride, and got to play some of my 304 songs I loaded onto the HTC, before i left Brizvagas.

otherwise i would have been the ONLY rally attendee, without a bike and stay at the caravan park on my own,
would have had to be the only person to do that,

with that said, my newest bike
NO NO NO  it is NOT a BMW

not even an ST1300 with bucket loads of BMW Farkles

all for fun  :-))
