I've got a novel idea.
Why don't we have a National Rally for riders?
If non-riders wish to come they'll need to make their own way there.

The problem with all of the above is how to get non riders to any of the above and back again with people coming in at different times.

Most of the places mentioned in recent posts have TransWa bus or rail services which could be a better option in some cases.

Nice idea Lionel, I like it, but a few might like to bring their bike orientated partners.

Albany sounds a reasonable compromise?

Too far from the Perth airport.

Flights from Perth to Albany were around $200 one way when we were looking at all this earlier. Add that to flights to Perth from east and it rapidly becomes financially unviable for many people. Therefore less attendance. But don't despair of seeing these places. Plans are in place.

For reference, location has already been sorted :-)

STeveo · « **Reply #31 on:** December 29, 2014, 05:50:53 PM »

So tell us so we can start planning.

We have to wait until next year's rally for that info.

I have a rough route in place which I can update later. From home to Norseman and then to Kwinana (where sis lives) via Esperance and Hyden. Depending on the rally location I can either go on the way or on the way back from visiting my sis.

possibly less impressive than someone travelling from South Oz or Vic to find out.

I wasn't mentioning the obvious furthest, since y'all already know!

spanner · « **Reply #38 on:** January 28, 2015, 09:43:39 AM »

im definitly in for the WA one cause I have some rellos over that way and can convince the trouble and strife to go see them whilst I come and have fun at the rally!

WooT.

Just wondering if there are transport options available for our bikes if we dont have enopugh leave accrued to spend the time riding over AND back from North QLD.

OzSTOC isn't organising anything. From what I've heard, DON'T use the train. They are very rough on bikes. Road transport is the go, but you'd have to find it yourself. Some guys in here have successfully transported bikes from Brisbane to WA by road.

if I go for is ride I will be taking my truck with my bike on the back I can take other bike

And some ride......lol this is looking to be my bikes 6th and 7th crossing of the Nullarbor

StinkyPete · « **Reply #42 on:** January 28, 2015, 05:42:12 PM »

I'm riding. The Westies ride over to our side for events, and I'm happy to ride the other way.

STroppy · « **Reply #43 on:** January 28, 2015, 05:50:52 PM »

I'll be riding to WA after riding down to Tassie for the Ulysses AGM . . Possibly riding with Lionel and John (SAAZ)

spanner · « **Reply #44 on:** January 28, 2015, 05:59:59 PM »

I would be happy to ride but my annual leave will not allow the time to ride BOTH ways.

I will need to fly one way and ride the other.

I'm thinking of riding over and flying back.

Actually just had a thought ..... With the right insurance and recommendations I might be able to have one of the pillions in a million who can ride ride it back over if they were keen ..... Never know.

Mitch · « **Reply #45 on:** January 28, 2015, 06:57:57 PM »

Don't forget, it takes less time to ride to the West from the East
than to ride from the West to the East.

Pezzz · « **Reply #46 on:** January 28, 2015, 07:58:59 PM »

We are actually working on something as far as transport for WA. Just waiting on a call back .... that reminds me ... something ense to do tomorrow.

That means you'll need someone to swap about with the driving/riding. We could pick up bikes on the way from here for those that can only ride one way or can't ride for some unfortunate unforeseen circumstance.

Count me in.

What about Wolf Creek - I believe it's big with the overseas tourists... well it was
