Nimbin was one of the locations on RBT just over a week ago. Seems the locals think the Police give them a hard time with all the random drug & alcohol breath tests they do.
-

:crackup :crackup :crackup
Maybe you should have waited until the deal was signed before questioning the dealership staffs masculinity :fp
Some people are just way too sensitive !

I gotta disagree with you there Brock, I think I needed to go to bed in 1982.......... LOL
I need my beauty sleep
Sabie, you had better go to bed last week then...

Remember Sabie you can't spell ugly without U :OldMan
-
That's true, I have a face for radio .....only a mother could love. ..... I put the U in ugly...
excuse me now while I go and slash my wrists with a rather blunt spoon ....maybe even a wooden spoon....
Ho hum..... :nahnah

I find 6 months hibernation does not do much for my cause.....my looks are still unbearable :fp
-
Good choice of venue. I can't see a complete list yet of those attending, so I'll just throw my name into the general mix as an attendee for Nimbin.
So, this, I think, is the list - anyone missed???

Please count me in for this one. Intend travelling via Toowoomba, Aratula, Boonah, then Mt Lindsay highway to Kyogle. I thought I might overnight at the seaside and return by the Bruxner highway.

Unfortunately I have to pull out! Work has gotten in the way & I cannot have tomorrow off. It seems I am not meant to go to Nimbin last time we attempted to get there I was following my mate Steve who got us lost in some back road out of Federal & by the time we found our way the day was late so we cut our losses & headed to Brunswick Heads.
Please accept my apologies. Ride safe & have a great day.
-
All good Mike.....do we have a harley in the garage yet ?
-
Yes we (well Leanne does) do! I will post a couple of pic's shortly
-
Hey Stimpy, just a heads up ... its rained here on and off all day and the man in the box reckons tomorrow may be the same .. if the weather is adverse tomorrow I'll have to pull out ... can't afford to get sick or cold and bad weather will zap my energy reserves quicker. But... if I'm not coming I'll ring or text you and won't leave you hanging. If it's sunny out then I'm in......
Thought I had your number ... can you PM me your number to put in the phone........... cheers
-
The Brisbane & northern rivers forecast for tomorrow is looking good with a 5 & 20 percent chance of exactly 0mm.
Don't know about the sunny coast though.If in doubt look out the window i say :p
Will PM :phone now
-
It's ok I've got one of those string weather stations outside the window, 100% accurate...

Hi fellas
Ive got a few hours to spare tommorow,so i could meet you along the way somewhere,depending on what route you are using to get to Nimbin. I could meet at kyogle,or Uki, or simply join you at nimbin. Let me know your eta at those towns and i will see what i can do. On will be on my VFR,not the ST

We have had some heavy rain around here over the past few days,so keep your eyes peeled for gravel washed out of driveways.its a regular hazard around this neck of the woods.

Hi George, high probability of meeting Sabie at the BP at Loganlea on the highway near the logan motorway junction.
Can meet up somewhere on Mt Cotton road seeing as we will be heading out that way anyway (sirromet winery ?)
Will probably head out through murwillumbah/uki then onto Nimbin.
Could head back through Kyogle and Beaudesert on the way back.....or even on the way down if consensus rules.
Laurie....may be easier to meet at Nimbin.
Thanks for the heads up on the road conditions too :grin
-
no probs sounds like a plan meet ya at BP what time you plan on meeting there
-
Ok stimpy,see ya at nimbin. If you see a new red vfr along the way its probably me.

09:15 at the Logan BP, aiming for 9:00 so I can have a quick bite, drink and refresh .... again all depending on the weather.... but sounds like it'll be ... OK.... Wife leaves for work at around 6:15 I'll head off around 6:45 to 07:00ish, bikes been fuelled, new UHF radio is installed and aerial connector fit today, new power port X4 installed today to power UHF radio, Sat Nav and Phone installed, tidied up and ready for a test ride. All cords zip tied into place.
Couple of other jobs that can be done later, strengthen aerial mount (Aluminium plate is to thin and wobbles a bit) but all working well today.. One more RAM mount (On back order) to be fit for the camera when it gets here.
Sena SMH10 all charged, Sena SR10 Charged but will be on mains power, Phone charged.
Phew, I think I'm ready........
-
The Kyogle to Murwillumbah road is mostly good with a few rough bits including large potholes especially after wet weather. The road through to Nimbin can have some rough entrances and exits to bridges as well as tyre eating potholes.
Take care and enjoy Bar stewards.
I'll be thinking of you while I'm at physio.
-
Enjoy your day out fellows, I would have loved the ride ++
But unfortunately work got in the way
I am looking forward to the ride reports :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :grin

Home safe at 6:30pm.Great turn out today....had 9 people roll up - just fantastic :grin
Met up with Sabie, Crocman & Marilou at the BP at Loganholme then headed off down the slab after a coffee/chat.
Caught up with Laurie on the other side of Uki,had a quick break then rolled on into Nimbin.
Lunch was not bad....took a while to arrive with the wait & conversation being interspersed with the funky smell of
sticky-icky, dooba's, spliffs & jazz cigarettes.
The fascist government's local repression tool came past 3 times in their patrol car.Not cool man :law
We departed via casino,kyogle & Mt Lindsay then said our goodbyes to Sabie in Beaudesert where i discovered my left hand headlight bulb blown :||||
Thank you to everyone that made it today, i will post the next ride soon.Looking at being in the first or second week of december......coastal.......qld.
Feel free to post your suggestions ++
It was a good day's ride.....see pics below.

They're no rules in Nimbin Brock man,just peace, love and the occasional grammar nazi who is about to transcend my online aura to the naughty corner :nahnah

Dreadlocks were flowing freely man, the food was righteous dude and dudettes, the left wing right wing oppressive blue clothed favoritists did go by man, but we made a stand for coffee and coffeedom.
We rode our iron horses man, while biting down on more of the wholesome green brownies..... A big gotcha man and thumbs up to STimpy. .... You're a righteous dude man .... but I didn't see Ren, like where's Ren, and that Wally Dude in his stripped pajamas man.
We cruised, we got the vibes........
Started out at 7am, got home at 9pm absolutely stuffed, had to have a break at Caboolture and some dinner, great day but, and some awesome scenery and roads. Thanks to STimpy, Crocman and Marilou (goodbye heart Mari .... Stop it get out of my head) private joke between Croc, Marilou and me sorry.
And a big thanks to everyone who turned up .. Good conversation, good company, and sorry lousy food..

Big thanks to STimpy for organizing another great day. Really good to catch up with everyone. I kicked off about 6AM at Meringandan. After Streak's photographic proliferation I felt I had better try a bit harder. First stop Mt Kynock on the range at Toowoomba, overlooking the Lockyer Valley.

Travelled through wide farmland of the Darling Downs, then Cunninghams Gap with its fantastic views and on through Aratula and into the Fassifern Valley to Boonah. They have a magical clock in the main street, and it is made of farm machinery and has bells and whistles.
Continued via Beaudesert, Mt Lindsay Highway and Summerland Way to Kyogle and then over a goat track to Nimbin.
After lunch, off to the coast and decided had plenty of time to continue home via the slab. 673Km for the day.
Big day, loved it. Thanks Guys,
Phil

The Blumbergville clock is a fantastic bit of recycled engineering.
It's interesting reading discovering where all the parts were sourced from to make the sculptural timepiece :grin
