Now you've committed, it won't arrive that day.
You might get lucky and the birth will be early and you can do both events! :grin
I'm looking at squeezing the day into my busy schedule... :whistle

I assumed as much young Terrence,but i was too polite to say so :rofl :butt :OldMan :Stirpot :Blow
-
I thought Robe was the weekend of the 16th-17th but it's actually a week earlier on the 9th-10th,so young STroppy could actually make it for high tea if so desired ;-*
-
All being well, Big Red should be back from Perth by then. All I need then is another Pass Out.
Cheers

Hi Stimpy, slight miscalculation on my part, I'll still be on Chemo with the difuser attached, Thursday is the disconnection day (2pm disconnect) so we'll take the MGB for a run instead of the bike. Sorry about that but I don't think I'd be able to do up my jacket let alone have the strength to ride...
The birthday girl can drive, I'll be satnav for the day...

It will be my pleasure to drool over the MGB and what better way for the birthday girl to arrive in style....driving one of Morris Garages finest products ;-*

Hi Stimpy & other tea drinkers....
I'll be bringing a guest (Malcolm is a Bundaberg ST rider who's trying to navigate the OZSTOC website!)
I understand BenT has got his BMW working but is thinking of attending this event on his ST1100 so that makes another 2 (Ben & Chris ) who are also expected to rock up to Stimpy's MT.
(PS I'll probably be drooling over the MGB as well as I really wanted an MGTC a long time ago but never had the time..... or the money to restore one!)
Cheers DB5

Nope- Wing still in garage- sulking horribly tonight after thinking it was king when the ST left on Friday! :o
AuStrom branded merchandise still in development...
I'll wear my ST jacket to try to blend in >:()

It's a spin of the wheel click.click.click and the winner is ... The MGB... Mrs Sabie didn't want to ride...so in order to keep the wind in our face .. It's the MGB straight out of a service and new fuel pump.....
-
Excellent ....2 shiny toys to WOW: admire
-
I have a Doctors appointment at 10:20 am. But will be working from home afterwards if anyone wants to drop in for a cuppa on the way home.
-
Home around 3:30.Thank you to everyone that rolled up.
It was a boring run up the motorway from caloundra then a boring run down the slab to home.It was great to see Bill's new bike and Sabie & Pauline's MGB.
Between the dog micturating on Shiney's jacket,the 15 year male looking girl driving a hyundai and the local ice dealers..... it was an interesting RTE.
I think this has set the record for the most amount of birthdays at an RTE at 2 :Cake1
The details of next month's weekday ride will be published posthaste ;-*

Home from Armamoor.
Good fun outing- didn't cop too much flak for arriving on a Suzuki- might have been the OzSTOC jacket and cap saved me. >:()
A very good turn-out for a weekday. Photos to follow.
The V-Strom? Fantastic little machine. It's a keeper. :grin
It corners beautifully. Walks over any bumps in the corners. Cruises happily at 110 in 6th at 4800 RPM, just under the break-in 5000 max RPM.
6th is too tall for around town, so it's great to have a bike with such a wide gear range. The digital speedo is very nice, and I love the digital gear position indicator. It's actually better than the one on the Tenéré or Triumph Explorer.
On the way home I diverted in to Borumba Dam for a look, then tried out the Bellthorpe Range Road from Maleny- excellent fun. Mt Mee was a hoot. Fair dinkum- look at the advisory speed and add 30, even the low numbered ones. It's that good- on dual purpose tyres!
I came back through Dayboro and the low level light started flashing, so I filled up there. The 20 litre tank took 14.16 litres for 385 km- 72.8 mpg, 25.78 km/litre or 3.88 litres/ 100 km. ++
Looks like better than 460 km to the tank on a trip. The manual says 91 RON is fine, although the Suzi mechanic recommends 95.
It will need proper lights, horn and cruise control to approach FarRiding standard, but for a run like today's, it needs nothing. Once the rev limit goes beyond 5000 to the red line at 10,000 it will be even more fun, but the fuel economy will go out the window then.
-
Carrol and myself had a great time, we rode up the slab with Draco and found the place without any issues.
Had a few coffees and a good chat with the guys and wished Paulene and STimpy a happy birthday.
After it was all over we rode back down the slab. All in all it was a great day out :hatwave

Dunno about that, mate. There's not a lot of weather protection on the Wee-Strom. I'm still planning on reclaiming a real Long Legged bike, the inimitable ST. The Strom is an absolute jewel around town and in the twisties. Horses for courses! :grin

I know, I know. White is my second preference after red. Besides, I have a list of low km private sale ones. At some point I might just weaken and shock the socks off Mrs Biggles and grab one to make it impossible to move around the garage- it's already difficult. :crazy :eek :fp
-
Biggles .. I have to ask... if you buy another Red ST1300 will she be known as .... WAIT FOR IT....
Ruby two ....'s day??????
Yeah I know .. I'm off there now....
Hi Doc....I'm back... got anymore of those little pills .. you know the ones I like????

Hey- thanks for the link- that's one of my favouritest Stones songs, and presented in one of their best performances re costumes etc.
Enjoy the little purple pills (or whatever your fave colour is). I might just have to buy the rights to that name... :p
