An afternoon at the dam sounds like fun I'm in

Tim, we still need to know what flavour pie you're after for the Saturday RTE. Can you let us know?

Cheers,
John & Kate

I have decided that I will not go to the National Rally in Mackay this year
As posted elsewhere my Daughter Shelly had a little boy on Monday in Townsville
They are all flying to Toowoomba on Wednesday 8th August to show him off to family
So I will stay in Toowoomba to introduce myself to my new Grandson and spend time with my Daughter Shelly and Grandson Owen

So John & Kate can you cancel my pie order and activities in Mackay
Thank you for all the work you have put into this National Rally to make it a huge success
PC is picking up some returns for Stinky Pete tomorrow from my off in Adelaide and he is going to get my Rally shirt and pin
Thanks PC (OzSTOC couriers still working well)

Enjoy the time with the family Leo.

I'd make the same choice.

High all.. this year I will be going to the Nat rally in Mackay thanks to a very generous member who is taking his bike up on a trailer,
He has offered me a ride and the accommodation....
Thankyou Dougie...

If there are any trikes going to be there would there be a seat for me to go on the ride Saturday...
My gut is still a bit big to be a comfy pillion even if my weight has dropped from 123 kg to 112 kg.
it seems that the gut is the last place we lose weight from...

That cat is out of the bag. Oh well, had to happen sooner or later. There are only so many R.T.E photos that it can be in before someone starts asking questions

The thing i shoudn't have purchased will probably get sold on monday to buy something Honda that i won't be able to ride far but it looks much prettier. Either way i won't be towing anything up to Mackay regardless ....

Hi guys
We have a final list of attendees/numbers, we're going to post it on Friday.
The local Ulysses guy has put info about the Saturday RTE in his club newsletter, and we're getting requests to come along, so we were going to hold off till the end of the week in case we get a few more. One of our local QPS riders also asked if there'd be any members still here on 26th August as they're having a police ride up the valley and a sausage sizzle that day, so it's a pity everyone will be gone by then; we could all have told them how sorry we were they had to ride nasty Yamahas instead of the lovely STs they used to have.....

Cheers,
John & Kate

Rally pack update....

Shirts and Patches have been delivered

The manufacture selected some months ago to produce the rally pins were the only company that could produce the pins in the quality and quantity (70) we required.... the only thing they couldn't guarantee was a delivery time. We could have settled for a lesser quality and been delivered in time but that wasn't going to happen.....quality comes first

and we simply couldn't get stuck with the extra 30 + pins at well over $7ea for the companies that are 100 minimum order.

So.....Pins will not make Mackay in time.

They believe we will have them a couple of weeks after NatRally.......so we will post them out to you all at our expense

Phil.S · « **Reply #242 on:** July 30, 2018, 04:39:20 PM »

The delivery time is what it is , as you said quality comes first , I am willing to pay for the postage if that helps. On another subject I have arrived at Penny’s place near Brissy , left Tamworth 0630 this morning hugged up to hilt by the time I got to Warwick all that was coming off.

Yes quite balmy here today. Bear that in mind, youse Mexicans. You'll need to rug up until the border, then you'll only need your OZSTOC jacket with all the 14 zips open.

For anyone who's happy to pay their own postage, how about giving Chris a stamped addressed envelope at the rally...?

Rugging up? What is this rugging up...? Currently, daytime temperatures range between 24 - 26°C and double figures at night. Plenty warm enough to defrost your zinc cream... We were out for a ride yesterday and Kate got her first sunburn of the season when she left her gloves at home. We'll post the seven day forecast a few days before kick-off.

I have made it into the Mackay region well before the rally. I'm heading up to Townsville on Thursday, for the weekend as its my cousins eldest girlchild's 30th and I am the surprize guest.
I had a fun ride as usual and arrived right on my ETA 7pm after the ride from Goondiwindi
The invasion of STowners into Mackay has begun. LQQking forward to more arrivals..
