7am next Monday is lift off for us.....

Is there anyone doing check in this year? Maybe a thread that can be monitored with morning " on the road" and evening "off the road" check in's

Just an idea!!

Brock · « **Reply #504 on:** March 03, 2014, 05:04:20 PM »

I can mount SAR watch ...

All you would need to do is text forum name, location, next destination and expected arrival time.

Something like Streak, home heading to kanungra eta 1600. Streak, Kunungra stopped for food. Streak Kunungra RON (remain Over Night)

I could the post it to the thread for others to follow.

Due to me now getting work here http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=6469.msg73064#msg73064 Heather and I will not be able to attend to attend the rally.

Sad that I can't attend the rally but happy that I now have work.

Should be there for Saturday. See you all at Blackwood on Saturday.

I should nearly have Ruby ready by then.

Just a heads up... I'll be stalking any and all members who have a custom seat...

*hmm* maybe we should get them all lined up so people can look at them in one spot

dicko · « **Reply #509 on:** March 06, 2014, 06:15:59 PM »

Well unfortunately I can't make the rally this year. I would have loved to but work and imminent grandchild arrival has put that to rest. All the best to all and have safe trips everyone.

Work I can understand, but the arrival of a grand-child? You've done all you can there already!

If you find one of those Frenchy ones, take the thing for a spin and give me a ride report. Waiting. Waiting.

I'll import a container load of them if they are as good as they look.

Me_3 · « **Reply #515 on:** March 06, 2014, 08:30:37 PM »

No doubt.... now if I can only remember who has it now. I think we're both still waiting for a ride report on this magical French seat...

I just subscribed to Streak's source, "Motorbike Writer" and their very first page contains a dubious article:

Tasmania great for motorcycles all year

We all love Tasmania’s motorcycle roads in summer, but in winter it is one of the best-kept secrets for riders. Time to plan your winter ride now. Forget the gloom…

( Couch )

For those going to Tassie after the rally, my sister recently returned from a month there and brought me a pamphlet about the Bicheno Motorcycle Museum and Restoration at 35 Burgess St,Bicheno. It is open 7 days, 9am to 5pm, costs $9.00 entry. It says they buy and sell vintage and modern bikes, spares, tyres and accessories, and you can watch them restoring bikes. Sound like my kind of place.

Diesel · « **Reply #519 on:** March 07, 2014, 07:57:31 AM »

Okay everyone - be EXTRA careful out there this weekend - coz if you 'tip over', there ain't time to fix it before you start travelling to the Ballarat!

In saying that - ride like you ALWAYS do - because that means you will be safe, vigilant, aware and having fun!

Cheers, Diesel

Streak · « **Reply #520 on:** March 07, 2014, 09:23:33 AM »

15 days
until Friday March 21 2014.....

Sabie · « **Reply #521 on:** March 07, 2014, 12:11:14 PM »

Isn't this peachy ... Months of planning for OzSTOC14 ... Bikes are all prepared.... Packing all laid out ready to go on the bikes .... 3 days until our departure.

And a ruddy cyclone rears it's head for a possible departure day touch down...

You've got to be kidding me....

.. Sabie double checks wet weather gear for wind speed rating .....

Just make a cradle out of the top box and bring it along ( If it rains close top box lid and drill an air hole - Yeh I know but the mother will get a tad antsy if you turn it blue

)

Hopefully Sab, you'll be on the right side of it and get a massive tail wind....

... instead of a massive head wind from the other.

@Sicman

I know when you turn STs blue - they ain't quite as quick as when dey Candy!
